I'm selling this car on behalf of my nephew. He bought this car, we did a little work on it, including four brand new tires, but it proved to be a little too high performance for a daily driver. This car has absolutely no rust whatsoever! It is as solid as the day it was built. I relocated some brake lines to get them away from the headers and even the factory spring wrapped around the brake lines moved free. In fact, I removed the wrap from the old lines and put them on the new lines so I could make the tight bends without kinking the line. The mileage is ORIGINAL and under 17,000! The factory brake pads, rotors, shoes, and drums are still ORIGINAL to the car - and there's plenty left! This car was customized with a built up Chevy 350 which has aluminum intake, headers, Holly 750 carb, high pressure/high volume electric fuel pump, and custom bent TRUE dual exhaust all the way to the back. There is all the piping and wiring for NOx but it's not connected to the manifold. NOx tank is NOT included. The transmission is a Corvette C-4 and Corvette posi-traction rear axle. I don't know the exact gear ratio but based on experience I would guess they're in the 4:10 range. Everything in the car is original on the interior - even the factory installed cassette deck. The T-Tops do not leak and have the original storage bags for when you remove them. The air conditioning works but the belt was removed for more performance. We put an old belt on just to try it and then removed the belt again because it was in bad shape. The a/c system is still charged with R-12 and would have to be converted to R-134a if you ever need to repair anything. The ORIGINAL factory paint is sun faded and pretty chalky. There are spots on the hood, roof, and hatchback where the paint was worn to primer and someone sprayed some red paint on them to prevent rust. I'm pretty sure buffing it would just remove most of it but I didn't try it. Please take note that the car is wet in some of the photos, it does NOT have shiny paint. The other photos shows the flat paint appearance which is what it really is.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
