For sale by owner is this beautiful APS Twin Turbo 2005 Pontiac GTO w/19000 miles Impulse Blue w/Black interior -Blue gauges 6 speed w/ 17" rims and BFG`s The exterior is Impulse Blue Metallic and the interior is Black leather and suede with Blue gauges. This car is incredibly rare. This GTO is as nice as they get. Adult owned and garage kept. This car has been meticulously maintained and properly cared for. Never abused or mistreated. It has absolutely no problems or issues. It starts right up every time. It idles perfectly as a 19000 mile car should The 6-speed T56 M12 transmission shifts through all gears with no issues. The 6.0L LS2 engine runs very smoothly with loads of power on demand. The exhaust sounds amazing at every rpm and at wide open throttle it just screams! This GTO is an absolute joy to drive. This car was built and tuned for big power with the best fuel economy for daily driving (22mpg City/27mpg Highway). This GTO performs at every level, but achieving this came with a price. Over $10000 has been invested into APS Twin Turbo kit including fuel system and bucket mod`s to make this a truly incredible car. Time to get off your butt and buy a car. In fact, the only thing Pontiac on this beast are the emblems. This is a fine Australian Holden Manaro, Americanized as a GTO. Stuffed full of 6.0 litres of Chevrolet muscle, pumping out 400 HP in stock trim routed through a 6 speed manual transmission. That's right you gotta shift her. Often. If you don't know how to handle your stick or don't have the leg strength to push in a clutch pedal then don't come around wanting to take her out on the road. You can skip on down to your local 'yota dealer and test drive a Prius. To be clear, if the fastest thing you have ever ridden in is your V-tec Civic or your bro's SVT Focus or Mustang- you should probably click the back button now. Your mommy won't like cleaning out the extra stains in your shorts. On the other hand, if you are searching for a clean, darn near new, low mile GTO to call your own then you should read on. This baby mostly stays in the garage, No one has ever eaten anything or smoked inside her. She has never been in rain, snow, sleet, or any inclimate weather. Heck, I rarely bring her out when it's cloudy - but she does love the sunshine! This is a 2005, the second to last year GTO EVER. The GTO badge, as well as the Pontiac brand, are long gone. She is a rare breed. Here are some numbers to wrap your head around - Total GTO's produced 04-06 = 40,754. Total One`s Impulse Blue, black interior, Blue gauges 6 speed, 17" wheels = 160 - makes her one of 160. Yup, only 159 others like her anywhere. OK, is she fast? Oh yeah! White knuckle ride right from the factory.And when the turbos spool up look out Remember this is a low mileage high performance car only driven on Sundays by a little old man getting groceries. |

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years
Mon, Dec 17 2018An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
