2009.5 Pontiac G8 Gxp Sedan 4-door 6.2l M6 on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
If you are looking at this listing, you probably already know something about this car. Pontiac's last great muscle car and certainly their greatest car of the modern era. In short, it is a full size, four door sedan with enough room for the family and big trunk, packing a 415hp/415tq LS3 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. This type of car has unfortunately become quite difficult to find.
I am the original owner, non-smoking purchased in the Chicago metro area and lives there still. The interior is like-new and the exterior is in very good condition. I have never had a mechanical issue, oil always changed with Mobil 1 synthetic. It is due for some 60k maintenance but I will leave that to the new owner. It is currently wearing 18" wheels with Continental ContiWinterContact tires. I will also include the original chrome GXP 19" wheels and tires, though at least two of the summer-only factory tires have leaks and all four original wheels have some curb damage (unfortunate side effect of parking in the city). Never at the racetrack though it would be at home there and most of the miles are from traveling the Midwest for my job. The exterior paint is good, with some small rock chips in the hood, a minor scratch on the driver's door, and a scuff on the lower front bumper (see photos). The rear bumper had some marks from city parkers so I had it repainted and it looks great. Title is clear. Wheels aside, the car is completely free of aftermarket parts. I really love this car and am only selling it because I am moving to NYC. It is quite difficult to find a full size sedan with a powerful engine, great handling, and manual transmission. Handling is extremely responsive for full size, with power oversteer always on tap and very predictable. It is an absolute joy to drive. There were only 1829 Pontiac G8 GXPs produced. My research tells me this car is one of 30 with the combination of Panther Black Metallic, Onyx interior, no sunroof, and M6 transmission. Please read the reviews and do the research, it is a great car. Watch this video of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear flogging the UK version which was sold as a Vauxhall, which I might add had a smaller 6.0L engine and does not look as nice as the Pontiac GXP trim. http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/vauxhall-vxr8 It is a truly historic car and very fun to drive while being totally practical. I have done my best to include everything but feel free to contact with any questions. Car may be driven so mileage may not be exact.

Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse. Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery.

This classic Firebird restomod swallowed a Prius
Tue, Apr 19 2016It takes an unusual eye to look at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird and see the Toyota Prius hidden inside. But that's just the kind of eye that a creative mechanic known online as "Bill the Engineer" has. Bill is updating his old Firebird into a true classic for the 21st century and has documenting the changes over at Priuschat and EcoModder. The TL,DR version of the story: he's replacing the worn-out powertrain with the gas-electric hybrid one from a Prius V, because it turns out the two vehicles have almost exactly the same wheelbase. Bill, who's from Columbus, Ohio and doesn't want his full name used, said in his posts on the conversion project that he's made many memories with this vehicle since buying it back in 1979. Since then, a few moves, a few decades, and some time in storage meant that the car would no longer function as he wanted it to. As he wrote, "when it comes to mice in the vehicles IT IS WAR." His solution is to make new memories and making a greener vehicle, and so we wanted to ask him how things have been going. Bill's been traveling a bit recently, but told AutoblogGreen that he's now figuring out the next steps for this amazing and complicated project. "I always plan things out before I do them," he said. That's the only way something like this can work. ABG: I think we have to start with what gave you the inspiration for this project. Was it simply that you had the two cars and wanted to see them merged into one cool mashup, or was it something else? "One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid... The rest is history." Bill: I have been the owner of my 1967 Firebird convertible since 1979 when I bought it for $750.00. I drove it for years and made many memories. Afterward it was in storage for many years during which time mice at their way into the car and trashed the interior and wiring. I started working on a conventional restoration but always ran into major problems with hidden corrosion, electrical issues and an engine on its last legs. The car was never going to be as nice as I wanted going the conventional route. One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid like our two daily driver Prii. That got me thinking about how it could be done. The rest is history... ABG: It looks like you started in late 2014. Have things gone well since then, or has it been one hassle after another? What has been the biggest setback, and what were the biggest victories?
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
