 This car has 2011 rear tires, 2013 front tires, Nitto Invo. New plugs, O2 sensors (all 4), belt and battery. I keep the old plugs with the car so you can see it is running perfectly. New upgraded sway bar links and bushings. The paint is perfect, just a few rock pits in the front bumper/skirt, shines like new. Interior leather is also in like new condition. The original owner upgraded the sound system will better speakers all around and it would seem a subwoofer in the trunk. The subwoofer is gone, but all the wiring is in place, high and low level signal wires, a subwoofer control wire, as well as power wires for an amplifier. A new radio head unit  has been installed, Pioneer Z3 CD DVD GPS 7" touchscreen with built in 40GB hard drive which holds your favorite music ripped from each CD you play. Last thing is the headlights are now HID as well as the Fog lights, really lights up the road.

If you do not know this car, the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO, let me give you what history I know. Released first in '04 as a joint effort between GM and Holden of Australia, a big name in road racing of sport coupes there, it was to bring a muscle car to compete with the Mustang. It was only made for these three years, but was planned to move onto the G6 platform when the recession hit and Pontiac was gone. In '04 it was fitted with the LS1 Corvette engine.

In 2005 the car was upgraded to the LS2 engine, more displacement and more horsepower. Unfortunately the car was a bit over powered, for the 2005-6 have a problem in the 'Launch' and the rear wheels will have a tendency to jutter, jump, shudder however you want to describe it. SO, if you are looking at other 2005-6 production years, look for some resolution having been install, most owners did nothing it seems. There are a couple of routes to attempt a fix, I have heard that heavier axles works, but the solution on this car does work. The decreases spring throw, -1.5", and the +2 spring rating increase combined with Koni Shocks not only makes a smooth wheel spinning launch, makes the  car handle really flat. Of course the 10.5" wide rims and tires help that out  also.

The other thing to look for in these cars is the seat corners, both front and back, that face the exterior of the car. I do not know what Holden used to stitch these seats together, but it does not do well with UV light. In most examples of this car, these seams threads have broken open, but not on this car, all the seats are perfect except the rub on the drivers waist bolster from getting in and out of the car. Also the headliners sometimes come unattached from heat, but again, not this car. From the CarFAX, It spent its life in North Carolina, a single owner, and from the looks of it, in a garage. The owner may have been in the Armed Services, for there are periods on the CarFAX where the car had no miles put on it. One thing is for sure, it was pampered.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An 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.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
