Virginia Tech 2001 Pontiac Grand Am Gt1 3.4l on 2040-cars
Mechanicsville, Virginia, United States
|
This is a carefully maintained and enhanced Virginia Tech Hokies Tailgating car. Built in 2006 starting with a stock 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT1 3.4L vehicle, this car is completely overhauled and enhanced to perform as the ultimate tailgating vehicle and portable audio and video entertainment system.
The buyer of the vehicle must be a dedicated and diehard Virginia Tech fan and ideally a car enthusiast capable of maintaining and enhancing the vehicle as needed. This vehicle has had approximately $45,000 in enhancements added over the past 8 years. The car is maroon with orange racing stripes and painted VT logos (clear coated) with two large (5') Hokie Bird stickers on each site. The rear window contains a large VT sticker. Custom made 19" chrome wheels with burnt orange lips. The primary feature is the extremely loud sound system consisting of two sets of JL VR Crossover Speakers powered by a 450w JL 4 channel amp, two 10" JL subwoofers powered by two 300 watt JL amps, and two interior and two trunk lid speakers powered by a 300 watt JL amp. The car is equipped with a 19" TV in the rear trunk lid with hookups for an XBOX, Satellite Dish, etc. Comes with a DirectTV receiver pre-installed and wired with an IR receiver in the trunk. A 7" in-dash LCD touch screen head unit controls the system with dual-zone front and rear audio allowing you to play music while still watching TV or playing a video game console. The horn is a Horntones mp3 horn, complete with all fight songs and the official Gobble played in Lane Stadium (acquired from the Athletics department). The car has built in orange police strobe lights installed in the front and rear fog light housings and in the custom fiberglass trunk display. Custom fiberglass work is included in the kickpanels and in the entire trunk display. All custom features were pre-approved by the Virginia Tech Licensing Department for one time use on the vehicle. More information on the vehicle and photos can be found at the Hokie Car Website. The domain and website can be included as a part of the sale, you will be responsible for future hosting and domain fees once transferred. I regret having to sell this car, but I hope it lands in the right hands. It is my hope to use the proceeds from this sale to start constructing the next generation Virginia Tech tailgating car, SUV, or RV in the next few years. This is a great car for a current student or recent college graduate as a project car and as a centerpiece of one of the best tailgates on campus! GO HOKIES! |

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
Sat, Mar 4 2023A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
