1998 Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Mount Vernon, New York, United States
Hello, thanks for looking at the 1998 Grand Prix GTP coupe I am listing. I am selling this vehicle for my father, and if you have any questions he is more than willing to answer them! First off, all the great things about this car - It is low mileage at just 124k miles. Clean and clear title. Recently driven from Oregon to New York where the car is currently located. Averaged 29mpg on that trip! It has new front tires with less than 1k miles on them, recharged AC system that blows very cold, and a brand new radiator less than a month old that comes with a 12 month warranty. Spark plugs, wires and ignition coils replaced 10k miles ago as well as all new hoses. Front brake pads replaced then as well. Very nice aftermarket tail lights. Nice comfortable Cloth interior, Sony CD player. All windows are clear, rear and side windows are tinted. Glossy black paint that shines up very nice after a wash. It's not perfect, but it's very nice! Car cruises at about 1900rpm at 70mph. The 3.8L Supercharged V6 is a very solid reliable and powerful engine! If you put your foot down it pulls hard and the supercharger provides that infamous whine. Custom K&N intake to really help the engine breathe. Exhaust has a nice low rumble at idle and purrs while cruising. Passed smog in CA and is registered until September 2014. Interior is black and gray. Seats could use a cleaning, but overall they are in good condition. Power windows, locks, cruise control all work perfectly. This car is equipped with the digital car info system and boost gauge and it works great. Driver seat is power with lumbar support. As far as any defects, the dash cover is cracked in the usual spot and the driver side door speaker is intermittent (comes with replacement speakers). That's pretty much it! This is a car that has been babied by my Father and he hates to part with it. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipment if required. Reserve is set at $3,250, please verify you have funds before bidding. Cashiers check or personal check after it clears are the accepted forms of payment. Thanks for looking! |

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
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.
