Sporty 1997 Pontiac GRAND PRIX GTP Supercharged 3.8L- W Body - L67 - Reserve set low - Bid with Confidence!!


I have owned this car for a little over a year and when I bought it, it had a cracked windshield + balled tires and rear tint pealing. When I brought it home, within  2 weeks I noticed the coolant elbow had a hard to notice leak as it was the original one.  I decided first to put tires and a windshield to get it state inspected.

It is a solid ride that has dead straight steering no hands.  Did a mod on supercharger system and car accelerates much faster than stock (the new mod shortened the supercharger belt by almost 3 inches which gives this car a much faster boost.  The car cruises at 70 - 80 easily on hwy and handles great!  

Adult driven and not abused...Car accelerates very fast and has digital boost control option.  Also this car averages about 20 - 29 mpg and is front wheel drive. 

For a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Supercharged 3.8L - The car is 16 years old.  Personally from one person to the next I would give this car the following ratings:
 
Actual Visual Body - a flat 7.0 some blemishes, NO RUST  but has some expected minor rust underneath the car. 
Mechanical 9.0 (after all work put in)
Engine: 150K+ - Proves to still be a strong engine - sounds healthy - which leads me to believe this car was mechanically assembled with good precision and care at factory and also presume that this car has mostly highway miles and adult driven.
Interior 7.0
Electrical 7.0
Leaks: noticed it was leaking on front passenger floor board. When I put in new windshield had resealed it. I also heard that this was typical for grand prix produced in these years. It does not leak anymore.  

Again these are just things that I have noticed.

In a little over a year I put about 12 thousand+ miles on this car and with all the new parts and maintenance... kinks seem to be smoothed out... overall rating of this car for this year from engine to tail pipe...I would give this car a solid 7 out of 10.  A 7.0 because intake gaskets will need replaced soon which is common for GM / Pontiac given the mileage.  

This car is sporty with many after market auto part manufacturers which make it a real contender if done right.  Check out you tube for the coolest Pontiac GTP vids / pics and you'll find that years 1997 and up make for sweet rides!

Other than that this car runs excellent the way it is now with decent gas mileage.

Car runs perfect and is maintained ... Sad to sell it but this car is an automatic and straight up ... although it's nice, I finding that I prefer a manual more than ever.  I kept a log of all receipts and is able to be verified.  In approx. 1 years time I shelled out $$$ to get this ride down where I can trust it to be a reliable car for trips and vacations if you know what I am saying... a good used car... This car could go the distance!  I drove 8 hrs and it ran sweet! I always filled her up with 92 octane and every few months put in fuel treatment to lubricate internals. 


What I would do to the car to make it even sweeter: Put in high end forged piston/cam/rods/springs (rebuild) from ZZ performance, pcm retune, 19" inch rims with ZR rated tires with performance exhaust mufflers, and one step further add on a turbo charger kit with high end fan operated engine oil cooler with manual switch, trans ratio/torque converter, lowered springs, and brembo brakes. 

It has Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oil with High Quality Fram oil filter.

The car needs a good buffing on the hood but is normal for this year. Mechanically needs nothing and is ready to cruise!  The car is sold "AS IS" with no warranty or claims implied unless specified.  Clear title in hand.  I will do the best to answer any questions.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
