1999 Pontiac Grand Prix Gtp Sedan 4-door 3.8l Supercharged Only 69k Miles!!! on 2040-cars
Franklin, Ohio, United States
Up for auction is a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
This car is loaded with virtually every option available from the factory! It comes equipped with power everything (locks, windows, driver's seat, flip-up sunroof), keyless entry with two (2) remotes, heated driver's seat, heads-up display (projects vehicle speed and other relevant information onto windshield), cruise control, ABS and traction control, dual-zone automatic climate control, trip computer/driver information center, CD player with steering wheel controls, and most importantly the 3.8 L engine with the rare supercharger option boosting the horsepower up to an impressive rating of 240! Although no warranty is being given or implied, this car is my daily driver and currently has no known mechanical issues. Everything appears to be functioning as it should including the A/C which is ice cold. I've recently put four new Fuzion tires on the car and the brake pads and rotors are less than a week old, all the way around. I've taken this car on many longer trips and it's just an extraordinarily comfortable and sporty sedan. The most impressive thing about the car is the extremely low mileage for its age. The odometer currently reads 69,027 although it could go up slightly by the time the auction concludes (no more then a couple hundred miles at most). Cosmetically, this car is in great condition for its age. It cleans up well and the paint still has a shiny gloss to it with the exception of the typical scuffs one might expect for a car of this age. The only places these are present are up front (where every car shows signs of wear from bugs and other road debris), the driver's door, and on the top around the sunroof. I have included close-up pictures of this area but please let me know if you would like to see them from another angle. The interior is probably even cleaner than the outside as everything from the original floor mats to the leather seats appear to be in above average shape for its year. The only noticeable flaws are a crack in the trim piece around the driver's door handle (a close-up is shown, easily replaceable) and a radio display screen that does not work. However, with the heads-up display, you can still see virtually all the information that would normally be displayed on the radio with the exception of the time. I think this car is a gem and it would be very difficult to find a Grand Prix of this generation in much better shape. Please let me know if you would like any further clarification of the vehicle's condition before bidding. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction via Paypal. Full payment and pick-up is expected within 7 days. Acceptable forms of payment are cash in person upon pick-up or full Paypal payment. If the vehicle is going to be shipped (and the buyer will not be showing up in person) and the buyer wishes not to use Paypal for full payment, a cashier's check or money order will be accepted provided it is sent in advance and given time to clear before the car will be released for pick-up. This vehicle has a clear Ohio title which will be notarized and ready to go upon its sale. Starting price is $2,499.00 There is a reserve. Please do not assume anything and ask any questions you may have before submitting your bid. I will give you a response ASAP. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
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.
What car brand should come back?
Fri, Apr 7 2017Congratulations, wishful thinker! You've been granted one wish by the automotive genie or wizard or leprechaun or whoever has been gifted with that magical ability. You get to pick one expired, retired or fired automotive brand and resurrect it from its heavenly peace! But which one? That's a tough decision and not one to be made lightly. As we know from car history, the landscape is littered with failed brands that just didn't have what it took to cut it in the dog-eat-dog world of vehicle design, engineering and marketing. So many to choose from! Because I am not a car historian, I'll leave it to a real expert to present a complete list of history's automotive misses from which you can choose, if you're a stickler about that sort of thing. And since I'm most familiar with post-World War II cars and brands, that's what I'm going to stick to (although Maxwell, Cord and some others could make strong arguments). So, with the parameters established, let's get started, shall we? Hudson: I admit, I really don't know a lot about Hudson, except that stock car drivers apparently did pretty well with them back in the day, and Paul Newman played one in the first Cars movie. But really, isn't that enough to warrant consideration? Frankly, I think the Paul Newman connection is reason enough. What other actor who drove race cars was cooler? James Dean? Steve McQueen? James Garner? Paul Walker? But, I digress. That's a story for another day. Plymouth: As the scion of a Dodge family (my grandfather had a Dodge truck, and my mom had not one, but two Dodge Darts – the rear-wheel-drive ones with slant sixes in them, not the other one they don't make any more), I tend to think of Plymouth as the "poor man's Dodge." But then you have to consider the many Hemi-powered muscle cars sold under the Plymouth brand, such as the Road Runner, the GTX, the Barracuda, and so on. Was there a more affordable muscle car than Plymouth? When you place it in the context of "affordable muscle," Plymouth makes a pretty strong argument for reanimation. Oldsmobile: When I was a teenager, all the cool kids had Oldsmobile Cutlasses, the downsized ones that came out in 1978. At one point, the Olds Cutlass was the hottest selling car in the land, if you can believe that. Then everybody started buying Honda Civics and Accords and Toyota Corollas and Camrys, and you know the rest. But going back farther, there's the 442 – perhaps Olds' finest hour when it came to muscle cars.
