RARE, 1977 SPECIAL EDITION BLACK TRANS AM. This is a P.H.S. documented, made in 1977. The car was sold to me with a non-matching block. Since the engine had been replaced, I decided to build a real Pontiac engine that would compliment the SD, but most important, still remain Pontiac. I started to research Pontiac engines and found Jim Hand's book ("How to Build Max-Performance Pontiac V-8s"). Pg. 22: "As part of the weight-saving program, the 400 blocks were redesigned with lighter main saddles and thinner cylinder walls, during the mid-1975 production year. For high-performance, higher RPM applications, earlier production blocks are preferred". Whether or not you agree with what he wrote, I decided to follow his suggestion. I found a 1971-72 Pontiac 400 block, and working with SD-Performance (from Canada), we built a real Pontiac Stroker. I have a copy of the build-sheet for the parts that went into the engine.

The block and engine work were done by Mardinly's of Broomall, PA. The block was bored 30 over and I used Ross forged pistons. I had a Tomahawk windage tray installed with a 60 lb. Mellings oil pump. I bought a brand new FORGED CRANK SHAFT with an increased stroke volume 4.25. The original Pontiac heads 6X-4 were stripped to the core, totally rebuilt, CNC'd and ported. I have included the paperwork on the heads, they were ported for 260 cfm. They were done by SD-Performance (Dave Bisschop, SD-Performance, British Columbia, (.sdperformance.com). Pictures included.

At the suggestion of SD-Performance, I used an Edelbrock Thunder Carburetor. I have the original intake and exhaust manifolds and Rodchester Carburetor that came with the car (pictures included) that I am including with the purchase of the car. I had to buy a Butler drop-down air unit because the manifold now sits higher up. I also have the original air unit that came with the car (which I'm including). The new aluminum manifold is ported for the heads and is an Edelbrock RPM Performance.

The car was Dyno'd on the Mustang Dynamometer unit by Collingdale Performance, Collingdale, PA. If you go to their website, .collingdaleperformance.com, you can search for the car, or YouTube, enter 77 Trans Am dynoed it will be listed by Collingdale Performance, one year ago, and see the owner performing the test to my car. I used ceramic headers. The engine was built in November, 2010, and not even broken in yet.

The body is in very good shape. It does have some bubbling at the bottom of the passenger's back quarter-panel that's approximately the size of a quarter. There is some bubbling at the bottom of the driver's side door only, approximately the size of a quarter. The paint on the passenger's side back bumper cracked because the former owner did not paint it correctly. The paint on the car is 18 years old. The interior is in excellent condition. I had the dash bezel restored by Randy Combs. The car is very solid and is garage-kept. The car is stored from November until April, every year and NEVER driven in the rain!

To my knowledge, the 4-speed trans is original and so is the rear. I had brand new air shocks installed last year so it rides like you're on air. This car is a real Muscle Car with the most expensive parts on the inside, and Pontiac on the outside.

The car comes with original Hurst T-Tops. I have an original CB radio with Pontiac instructions, purchased, but never installed, I am including this in the sale. The air-conditioner and radio both work. There is an 8-track system, but it is not hooked-up.

I could have put aluminum heads but I wanted to keep the car as original as possible so I used the original heads. This car is VERY, VERY fast!! I'm including the build sheets which show the production of the engine and all the parts used.

I now have 2 kids in college and another ready to start so I have decided to sell the car. I tried to take the best pictures I could, if you require additional pictures, I can provide them.

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANY TRADES or OFFERS LOWER THAN MY RESERVE! This car is a collector's item and will only appreciate in value because unlike the clones, or the Bandit look-alikes that are being manufactured today, this car IS A REAL SPECIAL EDITION!

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The 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.
