1999 Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp Sedan 4-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Silver Lake, Indiana, United States
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! |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500
Thu, Apr 23 2020UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
