 This listing is for a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Supercharged. This has been an excellent car, and I will miss it dearly. I have performed several modifications to the car to enhance the look and performance of it. It has a custom black metallic paint job with red metallic highlights. The car had the custom paint job in July of 2012, and it’s not perfect as it was done in a garage instead of a paint booth. The car does look very sharp though, and I have received nothing but compliments on it. I had custom hood scoops installed, and put in a cold air intake. I removed the mufflers in favor of straight pipes; however there is still a catalytic convertor and resonator in front of them. It is louder than stock, but it sounds really good if you like performance. It has quad exhaust tips, which I believe really set the car apart from most other Grand Prixs out there. Speaking of performance, when you consider the cold air intake in conjunction with the straight pipes the car has over 260hp (240hp was stock). I also have nearly brand new V-tread 225/55/16 tires on the front (stock was 225/65/16). This gears the car down a little and further increases the performance. However since there are smaller tires on the front of the car than the rear, you do have to turn off the traction control before you head down the road. There is nothing wrong with the traction control system, or the anti-lock brakes, but they were not made to work with two different size tires on the car. After you drive about a quarter of a mile down the road, the anti-lock brake light comes on and turns of the anti-lock brake system as well as traction control, and if you don't turn it off in advance the car putters while the computer adjusts. There is nothing wrong with the traction control or the anti-lock brake systems though, it's just something that happens because of the different size tires. If you were to put stock tire sizes back on, or all four of the same size this doesn't happen. No service lights are on (besides what I just mentioned). It has drilled and slotted brake rotors with high performance ceramic brake pads installed. I have installed custom headlights and taillights. The headlights have HID kits installed, and so do the fog lights! I have installed black outs on the head lights for an additionally sporty look! The custom taillights have LED bulbs inside. I have installed wind visors, sun roof visor, and a bug shield as well! I have had the car diamond glossed at Ziebart, and this includes a transferrable warranty. The window tinting also includes a lifetime warranty through Ziebart that will transfer. The interior of the car is in excellent condition, with minimal flaws for its age. There are a few carpet stains, but they are minimal (with the exception of the larger one in the trunk). The leather is in excellent condition - no tears, rips, or major cracks. The leather wrapped steering wheel is also in excellent condition, and you don't need a steering wheel cover (although I had one on to protect the wheel)! The sound system sounds excellent and has the additional tweeters in the tops of the door panels. The leather wrapped floor shifter is also in excellent condition and had the performance shift button on the side. All four door panels are in excellent condition as well. The custom head unit I installed is a Kenwood Excelon series, and has auxiliary input, built in equalizer, amplifier output, and many other options. The motor purrs like a kitten, and runs very strong. I have had no problems with this car mechanically. The heat and air conditioning both work excellently. This car has all of the options because it is the high performance GTP model. Everything works great! I especially love the heads up display, which shows up on the windshield in front of the driver showing you speed, turn signals, and whether or not you have your bright lights on. The power sunroof is also a ton of fun! Last summer I drove it to South Dakota and back with no problems. The transmission shifts smooth and strong. I have performed all of the oil changes myself and on time according to the Oil Life meter. I usually changed the oil early as soon as it would start to change color instead of waiting for the oil life meter to say it needed changed. I have owned the car since June of 2012. It had about 206,000 miles on it when I purchased it, so I am unsure of the history before that. However, in the time I have had it, I have found it to be an excellent car with no mechanical problems. That said, I am not a dealer or a professional mechanic, and I cannot give out a warranty on the car - it's as-is. This car does have the legendary 3800 Series II V6 in it that is known to run over 400,000 miles without an overhaul. The motor doesn’t burn oil and as I’ve said before runs very strong and starts in an instant!! With this engine there is no need for concern about the mileage, and I would drive it anywhere!

I expect a down payment of $250 that is non-refundable, and the rest in cash upon transfer of title. Upon agreement of purchase I will contact you with arrangements to meet and finish the transaction. This will take place in Silver Lake, Indiana 46982.

Thanks for your interest! Feel free to send me any questions you may have! Please contact me for more photos!

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.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
