2001 Pontiac Grand Prix Gt Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. This car has been my
pride and joy for 5 years, but it is time for me to let her go, I got a
bigger vehicle that better accommodates my large family. There are many
things we have done to this vehicle over the years and a few things that
will need to be done by the new owner eventually. I had the
transmission rebuilt by a local shop last year because it completely
went on me. When trans was redone, I also had a shift kit put in, so
this transmission shifts like butter as it should for the $3,000 I spent
to keep my Grand Prix alive...lol Here is a complete list of all
replacements/upgrades we have done:
Transmission Rebuilt-March 2013 (less than 5,000 miles on trans since) Recent tuneup - Jan 2013 Monroe struts - March 2012 Tie rods inner/outer Feb 2012 Rotors turned and front brakes replaced Feb 2012 Michelin Raptor Tires 90% tread left Aftermarket head, corner, and tail lights (all DOT certified) New front Axels - March 2013 Power steering pump and high pressure hoses - Sept 2013 Thrush mufflers - May 2012 Chrome Pontiac-etched rims (gleaming when polished!!) Chrome grill inserts Metallic red cross members and Pontiac inlay on rear bumper Bose sound system (came stock) Leather interior New thermostat New Monroe rear brake pads - November 2013 Cold Air Intake (Soche) Here are the few things that are wrong with the car: -Needs an O2 sensor *check engine light on because of this* (about $70) -Low coolant light stuck on, but temp gauge works fine. Just annoying! -Gas gauge does not work properly, I have dealt with it the last 3 years car can go about 300 miles on a full tank and that is how I kept track! -May need new hub bearings soon (30-60 minute job, fairly easy) Sensor acts up intermittently, but you cannot replace just the sensor because the hubs are self-contained and have the sensor in them. Other than those minor things, this car is great, can be an aggressive car if that is what you are looking for, but is a great daily driver. I get compliments on it all the time and it is still being used as a daily driver. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask, happy bidding! |

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
