2009 Pontiac G8 Gxp Sedan 4-door 6.2l on 2040-cars

Year:2009 Mileage:39930
Location:

If you're here then you know what kind of vehicle I'm selling. 

This is a 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP--the fastest, best handling, most powerful and last car Pontiac ever made. Less than 1900 of these cars were made. I am the original owner of this vehicle and have taken really good care of it since new. Anyone interested in this car will not be disappointed. Everything great you've heard about this car is true and then some. This car, as were most GXPs, is fully loaded. It has the only two options available--a sliding sunroof and an automatic transmission.

First the goodthe car has been garage-stored in the wintertime for the past five years to avoid the salt and snow in NYC. The car has had regular oil changes since new using only Mobil1 synthetic oil. I've never raced the car nor abused it in anyway. I've never had any mechanical problems with the car. On top of being one of the most unique and fastest 4-door cars on the road, it rides and handles as well as you want it to with a huge trunk to top it all off. I have not modified the car in any way so those looking for a clean canvas have found the right one. 

Now the not-so-goodthe car has some scratches on both front and rear bumpers from parking garages, street parking, etc. The hood near the left headlamp, and including the left headlamp, have some scratches due to a careless person with a shopping cart in a parking lot. The current tires may need replacing in the next year or so--I haven't changed them because someone interested in this car will have their own preference on wheels/tires. It currently has Bridgestone Potenza summer tires.

G8 GXPs don't come up for sale often so don't let this opportunity to own a piece of history pass you by. Please ask any and all questions but understand that I will not disclose my reserve price; I've set it at a fair price so if you're interested, please bid what you're willing to spend. I will say that the reserve price I've set is thousands less than the Kelley Blue Book value on a vehicle in this condition. Auction winner will be expected to leave a non-refundable $125 deposit upon auction end. I reserve the right to end the listing early as I'm advertising this sale on other platforms. Local pickup only--please do not ask me to ship. 


Disclaimer about vehicle history report: the car was in a minor accident in August 2012 involving a reckless taxi. There was very minor damage to the front hood and bumper which the insurance company gladly replaced with new OEM parts. I have all documentation of this incident.

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams

Fri, Aug 31 2018

There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird

Sat, May 9 2020

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
