2009 Pontiac G8 2 Door With El Camino Bed / St / Holden Ute / Gt / Gpx / V8 Ss on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
This is a very unique vehicle made from a Pontiac G8. It brought from NY to CA where it had been hit in rear. Only the trunk and rear quarter panels were damaged. They had to be removed to build this truck anyway. No engine, transmission, fuel tank, etc. damage. All emission control devices were retained. This truck has 2 years of Inspection and Emission certifications and very light driving. Garaged and not winter driven. I am told car was rebuilt from GM stocked parts. I have about $17,000 (about 6 pages) in receipts from the engine rebuild, transmission additions & mods, exhaust system replacement. In all cases GM or higher quality items were used right down to the oil pump.The exhaust manifolds have large catalytic converters that should never fail from quality fuel and the occasional addition of fuel system cleaners. The engine bay looks stock you have to look hard to see the laser built exhaust - it does not have a cold air intake. This engine & mechanical. work was done by the renown Sullivan GM Performance in the giant Las Vegas, Nevada, Speedway. I was planning on keeping this vehicle for myself so I went with a highly respected & experienced shop. The triple gauges on the dash are not stock, are backlit, and an example of Sullivan GM Performance's great work. An Engine Rev/Trans Shift warning light has also been added. This vehicle can not be licensed in California for emissions reasons. There may be other areas also. It is your responsibility to verify this vehicle may be street driven if that is your intention. The engine including the GM LSX block is not stock and has been moderately modified. The vehicle is very fast and is streetable but must be placed in neutral at a stop when the engine is not up to operating temperature because of the very rough idle. The engine displacement is 421 cubic inches (6.9 liter). A longer stroke (Callies forged steel crank) and a bigger bore than the 376 cu. in.(6.2 liter) GTP block. Standard compression ratio was retained and is tuned to run on 91 Octane fuel at 1500 ft. elevation and above. Equipped with an 8 quart no loss of ground clearance oil pan. 19" SLP Wheels with Yokohama D580 Tires. New Kevlar/Ceramic brakes. Low dust - safer & faster stopping. A more appropriate torque converter was installed. I do not have any ET/MPH numbers as the car has been street driven only and even then not to much excess of posted limits. A couple of items that are included in the car. The fully lined, gas sprung, locking, bed actually has more cargo space than any El Camino GM built. Full size behind the bumper spare tire with mag wheel. All new parts including engine & tires have very low miles probably not over 250 miles. If you have an important question please ask (calls or e-mails) so there will be no disappointments. Buyer is responsible for $2000.00 deposit through PayPal at close of sale. Remainder is due via wire transfer or cashier's or certified check with a local bank within 3 business days. Buyer responsible to arrange vehicle transportation. I Will help where I can. Thank you and I want you to really enjoy your new vehicle. Jeff |

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE
Sat, Dec 2 2017Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Even the wretched Daewoo-built Pontiac LeMans gets more screen time than the forgotten 6000 in this 1991 TV ad featuring the voice of Captain Picard.
