2009.5 Pontiac G8 Gxp Sedan 4-door 6.2l M6 on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
If you are looking at this listing, you probably already know something about this car. Pontiac's last great muscle car and certainly their greatest car of the modern era. In short, it is a full size, four door sedan with enough room for the family and big trunk, packing a 415hp/415tq LS3 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. This type of car has unfortunately become quite difficult to find.
I am the original owner, non-smoking purchased in the Chicago metro area and lives there still. The interior is like-new and the exterior is in very good condition. I have never had a mechanical issue, oil always changed with Mobil 1 synthetic. It is due for some 60k maintenance but I will leave that to the new owner. It is currently wearing 18" wheels with Continental ContiWinterContact tires. I will also include the original chrome GXP 19" wheels and tires, though at least two of the summer-only factory tires have leaks and all four original wheels have some curb damage (unfortunate side effect of parking in the city). Never at the racetrack though it would be at home there and most of the miles are from traveling the Midwest for my job. The exterior paint is good, with some small rock chips in the hood, a minor scratch on the driver's door, and a scuff on the lower front bumper (see photos). The rear bumper had some marks from city parkers so I had it repainted and it looks great. Title is clear. Wheels aside, the car is completely free of aftermarket parts. I really love this car and am only selling it because I am moving to NYC. It is quite difficult to find a full size sedan with a powerful engine, great handling, and manual transmission. Handling is extremely responsive for full size, with power oversteer always on tap and very predictable. It is an absolute joy to drive. There were only 1829 Pontiac G8 GXPs produced. My research tells me this car is one of 30 with the combination of Panther Black Metallic, Onyx interior, no sunroof, and M6 transmission. Please read the reviews and do the research, it is a great car. Watch this video of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear flogging the UK version which was sold as a Vauxhall, which I might add had a smaller 6.0L engine and does not look as nice as the Pontiac GXP trim. http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/vauxhall-vxr8 It is a truly historic car and very fun to drive while being totally practical. I have done my best to include everything but feel free to contact with any questions. Car may be driven so mileage may not be exact.

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale
Fri, Dec 5 2014Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
