2000 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird 450HP LS1 - many mods - $19000 (Lebanon)

2000 Pontiac Trans Am odometer: 68500 VIN: 2g2fv22g1y2144415 manual transmission

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I have for sale my 2000 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird. The car has 68,500 miles on it which is nothing for an LS1 with a 6 speed manual. The handling is probably more impressive then the 438HP engine to be honest. I have spent way more on this car then I will ever get out of it. Over $17000 in modifications. Everything is top of the line and well taken care of. I have 2 kids and simply just have put about 3000 miles on it the last 2 or 3 years. This car has been featured in 2 calendars as well. The cover of one of them. It is an awesome awesome performing machine. I took it to the track only 1 time in the fall to see what it could do. it hasn't been back since. I had it professionally tuned also so I have a dyno sheet.

I have a set of rear drag radials as well. Only used once, but I bought them used. The car will run low 12's. If setup properly you might get in 11's on a cool day.

I have a book with majority of all the receipts and records and history. Car has always been changed with Lucas oil and Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic. I ran 91 octane with injector cleaner every 10k miles. I change fuel filter every year regardless of miles. I also have had transmission fluid flushed twice. I am the second owner of it from what I'm told I bought it with 48k miles on it in 2007. The car was bone stock at that time. Car was tuned by a RPM Speed in Delaware.

I did the PCV conversion setup also with a Revxtreme catch can. The car practically burns no oil. I did a lot of research on this stuff and all mods were done regardless of cost to give it the best durability. I never thought I'd sell it, but so the story goes.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim 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.
