For sale is my 40th anniversary 2004 Pontiac GTO with just 39,8xx miles. It is in excellent condition.
Paint: This car is the limited edition, W40 package, (an unofficial 40th anniversary) Pulse Red Paint. This paint was only available to the final 800 GTOs in 2004, and only about 500 of those had the more desirable 6 speed manual. It is in great shape, and is very clean. The color is just a little darker than the more common Torrid Red - it looks a lot darker on cloudy days as you can see in the pictures. The other primary difference in the Pulse Red cars, is the silver gauges, and red stitching. This helps explain the W40 40th Anniversary - http://www.ls1gto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15206
Interior: The interior is stock, and is really well equipped. The 6 disc Blaupunkt stereo system is great, and the seats are the most comfortable seats car seats I have ever sat in. They look great with red GTO emblems stitched in the seats. They hug the driver really well, and are great for long trips. GTOs have one of the best trimmed GM interiors out there. There were a couple seams coming apart on the back seats when I got the car, due to it sitting in the sun. This is a common issue for GTOs. They do not affect functionality whatsoever, and could easily be replaced. I tried my best to show it in the pictures.
Exterior: The exterior is in very good condition. If the car was not the limited edition color, there were several upgrades I planned, but I decided to keep it stock and clean instead. The wheels had some curb rash when I bought them, but I had the wheels professionally refurbished and repainted -- they now look brand new. It also had a couple tiny chips on the door handles, but were professionally repainted as well. I have receipts for these repairs as well as maintenance from my time of ownership and some prior to that.
Engine: The 5.7L LS1 V8 is bone stock and is an absolute blast to drive. This car has the desirable 6-speed manual transmission (Tremec-56) (the auto is only a 4 speed and it is rated at just 16/21 mpg). It has tons of torque low down, and obviously plenty of power on the top end (350hp at 5200 and 365ft/lb at 4000). 0-60 is in the mid 5s, and the quarter is in the mid-high 13s. The low end torque makes this thing a blast to daily drive, and it still gets pretty good mpg. I usually get about 21-23 mpg in mixed driving, but manual GTOs are rated at 29 mpg highway! I always put premium gas in as well - most of the time 93.
I do have maintenance records from my time of ownership, and you can see it is in fantastic condition. These will come with the car. I always put in Mobil One full synthetic oil. In the 10k miles I have driven the car, the only maintenance I have done is put back brakes on (at about 31k miles), oil changes, and tire rotations. Through 10k miles, it has never let me down once and was more reliable than the first 10k miles of my '06 Toyota. The tires were just put on the car by the previous owner, so they have around 11k miles on them with plenty of tread remaining. I do also have a full size spare with a descent tire on it. (I also have the regular spare)
The car gets complements frequently, and it sounds great. It would also make a great second or third car, or weekend car. I daily drove the car for about 3 months in fall of '11, and then was able to buy another car for the winter, and to take over the daily driving duties. Since August of '12, I have been daily driving her 8 miles a day round trip, and I'm up to 39.8k miles (the picture with the mileage of 38k was from this summer) Sad to see her go, but my wife and I have decided to buy a house and we need the cash.
All of this considered, I am asking $15,500 or best offer for a potential future collector's car. Factoring in that there are probably only a few in this limited edition color, that are stock and in good condition with low miles, it will hold it's value well. If you are looking for a new body style collector GTO, this is going to be one of the best out there. Again, what makes it so rare and valuable is the limited edition color/anniversary edition with the preferred transmission, excellent condition, and low miles. You may be able to get an 05 or 06 for this price, but probably not with under 40k miles and clean and unabused. The LS1 also puts down good power, but if you worried about less power than the LS2, its only cams and exhaust away from 400hp. Will also consider trades of equivalent value with awd and a manual transmission, or vehicles worth less plus cash.
If you have any questions feel free to call or text me at 618 -- nine two zero -- 1924. You may also use message through ebay. Thanks for looking, John

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
