2004 Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp 3.8l Supercharged V6 on 2040-cars
Des Moines, Iowa, United States
I'm posting for sale my USED 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, with CompetitionG package. This beautiful car has 66,000 miles and I am the third owner. It has been well cared for and maintained. It is in good shape, with normal wear and tear for its age. Its interior is all leather, includes all working power options, supercharged V6 and is a joy to drive. I recently installed four brand new tires, brake pads and new rotors on all wheels, and two new rear brake calipers. I also installed a new front right wheel bearing and hub. In all, just over $2,400 worth of improvements in the past six weeks. The seat leather bolsters have normal wear and minor cracking on outside edges of seats. There are no stains, cuts or splits in the leather seating surfaces or dash surface. A small section of the plastic heads-up display trim piece has an approximate 1" crack, but does not degrade the appear of the car. Some of the seatbelt warning stickers have curled due to age and sunlight. I do not smoke, but there may be a slight hint of very old cigar odor with a prior owner. A gentleman in my office parking lot recently gently backed into the left rear bumper cover and knocked a few chips of clear coat and paint from it. I attempted a home repair. It is not a professional finish but it removed the paint swipes left by the other car. Photos are attached. The steering wheel leather has some rough spots along the bottom, and a few of the radio buttons show slight wear. There are a few minor exterior paint chips and rust spots along the rocker panels and fender skirts near the wheels. You may be alright with these issues or you may choose to have them professionally improved if you decide to buy the car. Either way, the car is sold "AS-IS, WHERE IS" with no warranty neither expressed nor implied. Serious bidders only, please. Buyer should have your funding source ready and available if you decide to purchase or make an offer on my USED 2004 Grand Prix GTP. Additional photos can be provided; email me for any and all questions or additional information requested PRIOR to bidding. A deposit of $250 via Paypal is required with buyer's agreement to purchase, with remaining funds due by end of 7 business days. All Sales Final; No Refunds. A bill of sale, odometer statement and damage disclosure statement will be provided at conclusion of sale. Buyer is responsible for all tax, title and license registration fees with buyer's local vehicle registration authority. Buyer is responsible for all costs to ship, travel for or transport the vehicle to buyer's location. Title is clear and in-hand. Vehicle will be released for pick-up and/or shipping transport only AFTER buyer's funds have cleared at the seller's bank. For this reason, I prefer to exchange funds via Bank-to-Bank Wire Transfer; although in the case of this vehicle, I will consider receiving a Cashiers Check drawn on a legitimate bank in the U.S. I will not accept cash nor or personal check. Again, vehicle release and title re-assignment will not occur until AFTER buyer's funds have cleared at the seller's bank. Seller reserves the right to re-list the vehicle for sale if the buyer does not complete the final funding transaction within 7 business days, or work with the seller to notify seller of buyer's intent to complete the purchase.

Junkyard Gem: 1984 Pontiac Fiero with supercharged 3800 V6 swap
Tue, Dec 31 2019Like the Corvair, the Vega, and the Citation, the Pontiac Fiero was a very innovative machine that ended up causing General Motors more headaches than happiness, and Fiero aficionados and naysayers continue to beat each other with tire irons (figuratively speaking, I hope) to this day. The General has often proved willing to take the occasional big gamble and huge GM successes in engineering prowess (including the first overhead-valve V8 engine for the masses and the first real-world-usable true automatic transmission) and marketing brilliance (e.g., the Pontiac GTO and related John DeLorean home runs) meant that the idea of a mid-engined sporty economy car (or economical sports car) got a shot from the suits on the 14th floor. Sadly, the Fiero ended up being the marketplace victim of too many issues to get into here, and The General pulled the plug immediately after the 1988-model-year suspension redesign that made the Fiero the sports car it should have been all along. But what if the plastic Pontiac had never suffered from the misery of the gnashy, pokey Iron Duke engine and had been built from the start with a screaming supercharged V6 making way better than 200 horsepower? The final owner of today's Junkyard Gem sought to make that very Fiero, by dropping in one of the many supercharged 3.8-liter V6s installed in 1990s and 2000s GM factory hot rods. The first Fieros came out in 1983 for model year 1984, and the only engine available that year was the Iron Duke 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which generated its 92 horsepower with the full-throated song of a Soviet tractor stuck in the freezing mud of a Polish sugar-beet field. The 2M4 badging stood for "two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders," just as the numbers in the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 once represented "four carburetor barrels, four-speed manual transmission, dual exhaust." This car is a top-trim-level SE model, which listed for $9,599 (about $24,200 today). The no-frills Fiero cost just $7,999 that year, making these cars far cheaper than the only other reasonably affordable new mid-engined car Americans could buy at that time: the $13,990 Bertone (aka Fiat) X1/9. The Toyota MR2 appeared in North America as a 1985 model with a base price of $10,999 and promptly siphoned off the car-buying cash from a bunch of potential Fiero shoppers.
Classic Pontiac Trans Am Firebird Super Duty 455 sells for nearly $90,000
Fri, Aug 25 2023Historically, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am raised the performance levels a notch or two over a plain Firebird in the muscle car hierarchy of the Sixties. But the Super Duty 455 version of the Trans Am — that number represents the cubic inches of the hand-assembled V8 engine — moved the performance needle big time in 1974. So much so that a clean example of the machine sold recently on the Hagerty Marketplace auction site for $89,296. Advertised with just under 54,000 miles on the clock and having undergone a thorough restoration, the Buccaneer Red model was one of just 943 Pontiac Firebirds equipped with the Super Duty 455 package for the 1974 model year. That build had also been offered in 1973. The Hagerty listing drew more than 21,000 views and 39 bids. According to Hagerty's valuation report, a similar car would be worth $85,700 in good condition, and $103,000 if it was in ‘“concours condition.” The Super Duty motor borrowed technology from the lineÂ’s 366-cubic-inch NASCAR engine, and featured heavy-duty connecting rods and an entirely new block with a revised crankshaft and heads to deliver a claimed 310 horsepower. The Firebird that sold was indeed loaded, with a three-speed Hydra-matic transmission (which surely reduced its overall value), power locks and windows, AC, dual exhausts, heavy duty stabilizer bars all around, and a “custom Interior trimmed in Red perforated Morrokide vinyl upholstery.” The entry of PontiacÂ’s pony car in the U.S., facing off against the Mustang and Camaro, dates back to 1967, when it was offered with an inline six and optional V8. The first Trans Ams were introduced two years later, the name derived from a handling package. General Motors ceased production of new Pontiacs in 2002 owing to declining sales and losing stakes in the sports coupe market. The big 455-cid V-8 had disappeared years earlier.
Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag
Wed, Feb 20 2019Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."
