2006 Brazen Orange Gto Automatic (still Smells New!) on 2040-cars
Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States
|
This is an extremely
well cared-for GTO in perfect mechanical condition! It is probably one of the finest examples of
any late-model, Australian-built GTO. Its condition
will undoubtedly rival one with a fraction of its mileage.
Zero-wear interior that still smells new. Even the floor mats appear wear-free (I actually covered them with another set of floor mats to keep them that way).
The dealer installed a new
fuel pump in February of 2012 @ approx. 29,4xx miles. The Goodyear F1 tires are mounted on chromed,
OEM 18” wheels. However, the car was
born with the 18”, silver version of the same wheels (not included). The chrome wheels were a dealer-installed
option.
There are no door dings
– this is an all original paint car! The undercarriage is very clean and has no
evidence of abuse. I’ve kept
the Optima battery (included) on a Battery Tender (battery not included) since my purchase. I’ve only used non-gloss Armor All on the
interior surfaces.
2006 was the only year for
this Brazen Orange exterior color. If you've never seen this paint in direct sunlight, you will be shocked at how
amazing it is! It accents each line and crease in the
bodywork; my photos do it no justice. I've heard it described as “show car” paint. All other color variants seem plain
by comparison.
The photo of the engine
bay shows over-spray of Armor All, not a leak. I sprayed it over the front fascia to prevent
insects from sticking – it actually works quite well.
My modifications were
limited to a set of "ballistic" nylon front seat covers installed the
day I received her, nothing else.
However, a very high quality, orange-anodized PCV oil vapor kit and a
lower temperature thermostat are included, but were never installed.
It appears the previous
owner installed slightly lower springs, but I haven’t yet identified them. The ride is not harsh and the stance is
perfect! In my opinion, these springs are what
the car should have come with. There are
also Hotchkis front & rear adjustable anti-sway bars, T-slotted front
rotors (I have no idea what brake pads are currently installed), HID headlights and a few LED bulb replacements.
This car was obviously owed by an OCD-plagued owner before (and like) me as this car is absolutely un-abused and in incredible condition. I took delivery on 2/12/12 at about 9:30pm and drove it less than 2100 miles since. It’s killing me to sell it, but it bothers me even more to own a car I never use. I’ve included no exaggerations in this description. Simply put, you just won’t believe how nice this car is in person. Please send me any questions you have, but realize I work midnight shift and varied days off. I will, however, answer all questions completely, honestly and without unnecessary delays. Also realize the reason for its sale is practicality, not desperation. So please, only inquires by serious buyers who are actually ready to purchase. Thank you for your interest!
Notice: I am a private owner of this vehicle
and am financing this vehicle through Pentagon Federal Credit Union
(PFCU). Once a sale price is finalized, payment
will be made directly to PFCU. Naturally, the title will be released as soon as the payment is received / confirmed. The representative suggested the payment be “wired”
(electronically transferred) for the quickest release of the title. Payment with a check is estimated to delay
the process by approximately 7 days. |

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).
GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:

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.
