Mount Vernon, New York, United States

Hello, thanks for looking at the 1998 Grand Prix GTP coupe I am listing. I am selling this vehicle for my father, and if you have any questions he is more than willing to answer them!

First off, all the great things about this car - It is low mileage at just 124k miles. Clean and clear title. Recently driven from Oregon to New York where the car is currently located. Averaged 29mpg on that trip! It has new front tires with less than 1k miles on them, recharged AC system that blows very cold, and a brand new radiator less than a month old that comes with a 12 month warranty. Spark plugs, wires and ignition coils replaced 10k miles ago as well as all new hoses. Front brake pads replaced  then as well. Very nice aftermarket tail lights. Nice comfortable Cloth interior, Sony CD player. All windows are clear, rear and side windows are tinted. Glossy black paint that shines up very nice after a wash. It's not perfect, but it's very nice!

Car cruises at about 1900rpm at 70mph. The 3.8L Supercharged V6 is a very solid reliable and powerful engine! If you put your foot down it pulls hard and the supercharger provides that infamous whine. Custom K&N intake to really help the engine breathe. Exhaust has a nice low rumble at idle and purrs while cruising. Passed smog in CA and is registered until September 2014.

Interior is black and gray. Seats could use a cleaning, but overall they are in good condition. Power windows, locks, cruise control all work perfectly. This car is equipped with the digital car info system and boost gauge and it works great. Driver seat is power with lumbar support.

As far as any defects, the dash cover is cracked in the usual spot and the driver side door speaker is intermittent (comes with replacement speakers). That's pretty much it! This is a car that has been babied by my Father and he hates to part with it. 

Buyer is responsible for arranging shipment if required. Reserve is set at $3,250, please verify you have funds before bidding. Cashiers check or personal check after it clears are the accepted forms of payment. Thanks for looking!

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
