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

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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
