2009 Pontiac G8 2 Door With El Camino Bed / St / Holden Ute / Gt / Gpx / V8 Ss on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
This is a very unique vehicle made from a Pontiac G8. It brought from NY to CA where it had been hit in rear. Only the trunk and rear quarter panels were damaged. They had to be removed to build this truck anyway. No engine, transmission, fuel tank, etc. damage. All emission control devices were retained. This truck has 2 years of Inspection and Emission certifications and very light driving. Garaged and not winter driven. I am told car was rebuilt from GM stocked parts. I have about $17,000 (about 6 pages) in receipts from the engine rebuild, transmission additions & mods, exhaust system replacement. In all cases GM or higher quality items were used right down to the oil pump.The exhaust manifolds have large catalytic converters that should never fail from quality fuel and the occasional addition of fuel system cleaners. The engine bay looks stock you have to look hard to see the laser built exhaust - it does not have a cold air intake. This engine & mechanical. work was done by the renown Sullivan GM Performance in the giant Las Vegas, Nevada, Speedway. I was planning on keeping this vehicle for myself so I went with a highly respected & experienced shop. The triple gauges on the dash are not stock, are backlit, and an example of Sullivan GM Performance's great work. An Engine Rev/Trans Shift warning light has also been added. This vehicle can not be licensed in California for emissions reasons. There may be other areas also. It is your responsibility to verify this vehicle may be street driven if that is your intention. The engine including the GM LSX block is not stock and has been moderately modified. The vehicle is very fast and is streetable but must be placed in neutral at a stop when the engine is not up to operating temperature because of the very rough idle. The engine displacement is 421 cubic inches (6.9 liter). A longer stroke (Callies forged steel crank) and a bigger bore than the 376 cu. in.(6.2 liter) GTP block. Standard compression ratio was retained and is tuned to run on 91 Octane fuel at 1500 ft. elevation and above. Equipped with an 8 quart no loss of ground clearance oil pan. 19" SLP Wheels with Yokohama D580 Tires. New Kevlar/Ceramic brakes. Low dust - safer & faster stopping. A more appropriate torque converter was installed. I do not have any ET/MPH numbers as the car has been street driven only and even then not to much excess of posted limits. A couple of items that are included in the car. The fully lined, gas sprung, locking, bed actually has more cargo space than any El Camino GM built. Full size behind the bumper spare tire with mag wheel. All new parts including engine & tires have very low miles probably not over 250 miles. If you have an important question please ask (calls or e-mails) so there will be no disappointments. Buyer is responsible for $2000.00 deposit through PayPal at close of sale. Remainder is due via wire transfer or cashier's or certified check with a local bank within 3 business days. Buyer responsible to arrange vehicle transportation. I Will help where I can. Thank you and I want you to really enjoy your new vehicle. Jeff |

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package
Sun, Dec 22 2019Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
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.
