2009 Pontiac G8 2 Door With El Camino Bed / St / Holden Ute / Gt / Gpx / V8 Ss on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
This is a very unique vehicle made from a Pontiac G8. It brought from NY to CA where it had been hit in rear. Only the trunk and rear quarter panels were damaged. They had to be removed to build this truck anyway. No engine, transmission, fuel tank, etc. damage. All emission control devices were retained. This truck has 2 years of Inspection and Emission certifications and very light driving. Garaged and not winter driven. I am told car was rebuilt from GM stocked parts. I have about $17,000 (about 6 pages) in receipts from the engine rebuild, transmission additions & mods, exhaust system replacement. In all cases GM or higher quality items were used right down to the oil pump.The exhaust manifolds have large catalytic converters that should never fail from quality fuel and the occasional addition of fuel system cleaners. The engine bay looks stock you have to look hard to see the laser built exhaust - it does not have a cold air intake. This engine & mechanical. work was done by the renown Sullivan GM Performance in the giant Las Vegas, Nevada, Speedway. I was planning on keeping this vehicle for myself so I went with a highly respected & experienced shop. The triple gauges on the dash are not stock, are backlit, and an example of Sullivan GM Performance's great work. An Engine Rev/Trans Shift warning light has also been added. This vehicle can not be licensed in California for emissions reasons. There may be other areas also. It is your responsibility to verify this vehicle may be street driven if that is your intention. The engine including the GM LSX block is not stock and has been moderately modified. The vehicle is very fast and is streetable but must be placed in neutral at a stop when the engine is not up to operating temperature because of the very rough idle. The engine displacement is 421 cubic inches (6.9 liter). A longer stroke (Callies forged steel crank) and a bigger bore than the 376 cu. in.(6.2 liter) GTP block. Standard compression ratio was retained and is tuned to run on 91 Octane fuel at 1500 ft. elevation and above. Equipped with an 8 quart no loss of ground clearance oil pan. 19" SLP Wheels with Yokohama D580 Tires. New Kevlar/Ceramic brakes. Low dust - safer & faster stopping. A more appropriate torque converter was installed. I do not have any ET/MPH numbers as the car has been street driven only and even then not to much excess of posted limits. A couple of items that are included in the car. The fully lined, gas sprung, locking, bed actually has more cargo space than any El Camino GM built. Full size behind the bumper spare tire with mag wheel. All new parts including engine & tires have very low miles probably not over 250 miles. If you have an important question please ask (calls or e-mails) so there will be no disappointments. Buyer is responsible for $2000.00 deposit through PayPal at close of sale. Remainder is due via wire transfer or cashier's or certified check with a local bank within 3 business days. Buyer responsible to arrange vehicle transportation. I Will help where I can. Thank you and I want you to really enjoy your new vehicle. Jeff |

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For 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.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford 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.
