1998 Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Mount Vernon, New York, United States
Hello, thanks for looking at the 1998 Grand Prix GTP coupe I am listing. I am selling this vehicle for my father, and if you have any questions he is more than willing to answer them! First off, all the great things about this car - It is low mileage at just 124k miles. Clean and clear title. Recently driven from Oregon to New York where the car is currently located. Averaged 29mpg on that trip! It has new front tires with less than 1k miles on them, recharged AC system that blows very cold, and a brand new radiator less than a month old that comes with a 12 month warranty. Spark plugs, wires and ignition coils replaced 10k miles ago as well as all new hoses. Front brake pads replaced then as well. Very nice aftermarket tail lights. Nice comfortable Cloth interior, Sony CD player. All windows are clear, rear and side windows are tinted. Glossy black paint that shines up very nice after a wash. It's not perfect, but it's very nice! Car cruises at about 1900rpm at 70mph. The 3.8L Supercharged V6 is a very solid reliable and powerful engine! If you put your foot down it pulls hard and the supercharger provides that infamous whine. Custom K&N intake to really help the engine breathe. Exhaust has a nice low rumble at idle and purrs while cruising. Passed smog in CA and is registered until September 2014. Interior is black and gray. Seats could use a cleaning, but overall they are in good condition. Power windows, locks, cruise control all work perfectly. This car is equipped with the digital car info system and boost gauge and it works great. Driver seat is power with lumbar support. As far as any defects, the dash cover is cracked in the usual spot and the driver side door speaker is intermittent (comes with replacement speakers). That's pretty much it! This is a car that has been babied by my Father and he hates to part with it. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipment if required. Reserve is set at $3,250, please verify you have funds before bidding. Cashiers check or personal check after it clears are the accepted forms of payment. Thanks for looking! |

6 car mashups that God never intended
Sat, May 17 2014In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
