Pontiac: Gto on 2040-cars
Bridgeview, Illinois, United States
My eMail : conwaytimnke@mynet.com
Truly one of a kind, 2006 Pontiac GTO, built in April of 2006, 6.0L engine, six (6) speed manual transmission, and is the latest model with all the hiccups sorted out from the previous models. The car is in mint condition with only 17,700 miles, which will slightly increase as the car is being driven. Other than minor blemishes on the paint, which are to be expected for a 10 yrs old car, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Also, the interior is in immaculate condition, and there are no scratches or tears of any kind on the leather or plastic. I have invested in the parts alone approximately $18,000, which will be listed accordingly here in the near future as there are so many parts to list. No expense was spared, and no shortcuts were taken. Therefore, I will highlight the main specs that make this car so unique. Custom tuned 447 whp (This was with the factory exhaust; Borla cat-back with X-pipe was added afterwards. So, it is safe to say that the hp slightly increased) The car has been modified with Kooks long tube headers, Kooks high flow cats, heads, supporting valve-train with Duel springs, custom cam by Ed for a procharger, Intake, and fuel injectors. And, it was tuned by Corey from Simpson Performance. It is truly a joy to drive with the MGW-P short throw shifter. My initial plan for the car was to install the procharger in addition to these modifications, expecting it to produce around 700 whp. The entire suspension has been addressed; the car only has the factory front sway bar link bushings, and the factory rear sub frame bushings (2, one on each side). VMR wheels 18x8 with brand new 245/40/18 Michelin super sport tires, and 18x9.5 with 285/35/18 Nitto DR tires, with approximately 1000 miles on them. Please note that the wheels are silver, and have been painted black with plasti dip, a rubber coating which can be removed. We can let the buyer decide which color they prefer better. I will be updating and adding things here as the time goes by, as there is certainly a lot to list. You can feel free to contact me via email, phone, or text, at 954 284 1632. The only trade that I am willing to consider is for a Ducati Panigale, 1299s. I am somewhat flexible on the price, but I will not accept low offers, in fact, I may not even respond to them. I DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING THIS CAR, so do not contact me in that regard. I will not allow for joyrides, so please serious offers and considerations only.

This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours
Fri, Jan 29 2021Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!  This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Tue, Jun 19 2018For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.
