I have a 2000 GTP with a rebuilt 3.8 SC, it has higher compression then a normal 3.8 making it faster then the stock about 95k on the rebuild, it also has a spectre cold air intake, a aftermarket computer and a blower that's been ported, the car is around 280 HP which is quite a bit more then the stocks and it still has a lot of performance left to be done. I've been told she's pushing 300 HP. It runs with 5.0's and my friends 300 HP Vette, THIS CAR IS FAST. The tranny has also been rebuilt with a shift kit, it has abut 20k on the rebuild. Has a ws6 hood, new halo headlights and new led taillights. The halos need wired in. It has gauge pods that need wired up, they show a variety of colors when there hooked up. The A/C blows VERY cold, just had a full service oil change.The car has a lot of new parts: front wheel bearings, rotors, brakes all the way around, tires all the way around, tie rod ends, camber, rack n pinion, power steering lines & pump, transmission pan gasket, front end alignment, the motor mounts and rear struts were replaced when the engine was rebuilt. I have all the paint for the car and there's a lot left, blue leds and gtp emblems that will go with the car. The rims are just factory ones but painted black. The body is pretty close to perfect just a couple little things, one of the pics show a spot on the passenger side door but you have to get up really close to see it. A piece of the trim is a little off on the passenger side because of a broken clip, and then on the back bottom piece where it says Pontiac in black there's little scratches but otherwise the car looks great! When it was painted 5 coats of paint were put on then 3 coats of clear coat. The door jams do need finished but like I said I have all the paint left over. The color is metallic sonic blue. The inside could use a little cleaning up but nothing major. The carpet needs shampooed or replaced due to previous owners leaving stains primarily on the back floorboard. The leather is in good shape no tears but a little wear on the front two seats there custom with Grand Prix stitched in them, the backseats look great. The headliner is newer but it sags a tiny bit on one side it just needs adjusted, and only one of the door panels matches it and its in the back the other 3 are the original cloth panels and the front two have a couple small cigarette burns in them due to previous owners. It does have working power locks and windows but there is no remote for the car just 2 keys. The blue dash could have been painted better but it looks good, the window tint is old and the car needs a rearview mirror. Under the hood around the edges is blue but the motor was never pulled out to paint the inside of the engine so its still maroon. Other then that this car is AWESOME, I have over $8000 in it and am selling because I have 2 vehicles and need to get rid of one.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

This classic Firebird restomod swallowed a Prius

Tue, Apr 19 2016

It takes an unusual eye to look at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird and see the Toyota Prius hidden inside. But that's just the kind of eye that a creative mechanic known online as "Bill the Engineer" has. Bill is updating his old Firebird into a true classic for the 21st century and has documenting the changes over at Priuschat and EcoModder. The TL,DR version of the story: he's replacing the worn-out powertrain with the gas-electric hybrid one from a Prius V, because it turns out the two vehicles have almost exactly the same wheelbase. Bill, who's from Columbus, Ohio and doesn't want his full name used, said in his posts on the conversion project that he's made many memories with this vehicle since buying it back in 1979. Since then, a few moves, a few decades, and some time in storage meant that the car would no longer function as he wanted it to. As he wrote, "when it comes to mice in the vehicles IT IS WAR." His solution is to make new memories and making a greener vehicle, and so we wanted to ask him how things have been going. Bill's been traveling a bit recently, but told AutoblogGreen that he's now figuring out the next steps for this amazing and complicated project. "I always plan things out before I do them," he said. That's the only way something like this can work. ABG: I think we have to start with what gave you the inspiration for this project. Was it simply that you had the two cars and wanted to see them merged into one cool mashup, or was it something else? "One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid... The rest is history." Bill: I have been the owner of my 1967 Firebird convertible since 1979 when I bought it for $750.00. I drove it for years and made many memories. Afterward it was in storage for many years during which time mice at their way into the car and trashed the interior and wiring. I started working on a conventional restoration but always ran into major problems with hidden corrosion, electrical issues and an engine on its last legs. The car was never going to be as nice as I wanted going the conventional route. One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid like our two daily driver Prii. That got me thinking about how it could be done. The rest is history... ABG: It looks like you started in late 2014. Have things gone well since then, or has it been one hassle after another? What has been the biggest setback, and what were the biggest victories?

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan

Tue, Feb 7 2017

During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.
