Rare & Absolutely Mint! Ram-air, Supercharged Grand Prix Slp/gtx on 2040-cars
Collierville, Tennessee, United States
Ram Air, Supercharged Grand Prix GTX. Rare and Factory Tuned by SLP!Unsure of your next collector car? Is this your first foray into the collector car hobby? Just want something different or unique, while still affordable? Glad you stopped by! Art and Speed is proud to showcase the next "big thing." While still under the muscle car market radar, this extremely rare, showroom condition, 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Ram Air GTX tuned by SLP will most certainly go down as one of the few collectible cars from the 1990s. So, what's rare about a 1997 Grand Prix? How many supercharged, 240 horsepower, 3.8 liter V6s do you remember seeing on the street? How many factory-endorsed SLP tuned cars PERIOD do you remember? A few special Trans Ams maybe, which have become very collectible, but not many. In case you are wondering, SLP ("Street Legal Performance") took only high optioned Grand Prixs, then "tuned" the unique cars by adding a functional, composite RAM AIR hood with twin scoops, much like the well received 1995 300 GPX show car, forced air induction system with K&N filter, adding ten additional horsepower. Then, special badging included GTX RAM AIR nameplates, and two GTX RAM AIR key fobs were included, all at an additional $2500 above the factory MSRP of $24,380. Optional content, which this car has, included the $799 SLP free flow cat-back, stainless steel exhaust system with dual outlets and dual tips, adding an ADDITIONAL ten horsepower. Other options on this particular car included the very rare GTX RAM AIR front and rear floor mats, and chrome 17" GTX wheels. So, see what we mean when we say extremely rare? Now, let's up the ante. The SLP option wasn't available for 1997. This owner, original by the way, shipped his 1997 Grand Prix GTP to SLP in March of 2000 for the holy "conversion" if you will. So, is this car a one of one 1997 Grand Prix tuned by SLP? We honestly don't know but if it isn't, how many could realistically be out there? VERY rare car indeed! As with all Art & Speed automobiles, this Grand Prix GTX represents the "cream of the crop". All documentation since original purchase comes with the car including window sticker, all SLP documentation and receipts, every single service and maintenance ever done, including every oil and filter change. This meticulously maintained performance car has accumulated just over 41,000 miles since new and is virtually flawless. Never wrecked or damaged, its deep black finish is without compromise.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car
Mon, Nov 30 2020Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video: Â Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics
Burt Reynolds Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am sells for $450k
Mon, Dec 15 2014Apparently, there's still a lot of love out there for by Burt Reynolds and his famous role in Smokey and the Bandit – or at least for his car. As you might remember, Autoblog reported on the auction of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a few week ago. At the time, the movie star's car was already well past its $80,000 top estimate, and bidding only shot up from there for a final price of $450,000. That seems like a lot of money for a Trans Am that never actually appears in Smokey and the Bandit. According to the listing, the car was used to promote the film and was given to Reynolds afterward with his name on the title as proof of ownership. The Trans Am looks practically identical to the one in the movie with black paint, the gold firebird on the hood and Bandit name on the driver's door. This one packs a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood, an automatic transmission and a plaque inside the door that proclaims "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds." The wedding stagecoach based on an International Harvester Scout we mentioned in the earlier story also beat its top estimate of $20,000. It went for $34,375, according to the auction house's website, and in total the sale raised about $2.5 million. Scroll down to read the full announcement from Julien's Auctions. LEGENDARY STAR BURT REYNOLDS PROVES TO BE AS ICONIC AS HIS AUCTION RESULTS "Smokey and the Bandit" Trans Am Sells for $450,000 Career Memorabilia including Awards, Personal Items and Film Worn Costumes along with Vast Art Collection from Reynolds Museum Caliber Private Collection Featured at Julien's Auctions This Week Brings in $2.5 million Las Vegas, Nevada – (December 15, 2014) – Julien's Auctions, the auction house to the stars concluded a whirlwind two-day auction of The Collection of Award Winning Actor Burt Reynolds.

Burt Reynolds, best known as a leading film star, has had a storied career both on the big and small screen. Aside from his award winning portrayals of some of the world's most iconic characters in film and television, Reynolds is also a businessman who has owned a football team, a dinner theatre, a working ranch and even a museum.
