1978 Macho T/A #124 Silver Anniversary Edition. There were only 4 silver anniversary edition cars made. This is the only 4 speed car, the other three were automatics. All had T-tops, and were optioned the same. They were all ordered by the same dealer in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have the documentation for the work performed by Mecham and the PHS.
The body work was done a few years ago by a company in Salt Lake. The passenger rear quarter was replaced and the drivers floor was replaced. There was a small lower patch on the driver side. This car should be rust free.
The motor is a 400 with Edelbrock aluminum heads, intake. The radiator is also a aluminum flow cool. The headers are hooker competition full length silver ceramic coated. The exhaust is made by Pypes. The 4speed is connected by a centerforce clutch. I just put on the new a/c rotary unit, all new lines and condenser. It isn't charged and it needs the original ac power connection made.
It has all new bearings and bushings. The front suspension has Hotchkis 1" lowering springs with koni shocks with all new front steering parts. The rear springs are new as well with Koni shocks.
I replaced the dash and in doing so ended up with a gremlin. I turn on the wipers and all my gauges work, I turn off the wipers and the gauges turn off. Then the next time everything operates like it should. Then the blower motor quite.
The car has sat for the last few years with little attention, besides the occasional starting and warming up. My interest are drifting elsewhere, this is a great car that needs a new owner to give it a little more attention.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
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.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
