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.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob 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.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
