History:
I purchased this vehicle new in 1999 from Payne Wesleco Pontiac GMC in Wesleco Tx. It was the prettiest car I had ever seen. I still think it is one of the nicest looking anniversary models that GM made. I have babied this car all of its life. It is however, time to let it go. Due to being deployed / and now driving a pickup most of the time, and my wife having her own car, I now need to let someone else have a chance to enjoy this car.
The Bad:
Front seats weather cracked
Both power window motors need replaced ( new motors included in sale)
Headlight motor ratchets on one side, (Common GM issue, new gear included with sale)
AC works, but has a R134 leak ( I have not had time to find it yet.)
Shifter boot plastic surround needs replaced to hold leather shifter cover
Blue tinted wheels faded, and some corrosion due to living near the ocean. (One new front wheel included in sale) Contrary to what most people think, the blue aluminum is NOT powdercoated, they are clear tinted, so I am sure the tinted clear coat could be redone)
Passenger side headlight cover has gravel marks in paint (Have no idea how that happened)
The worst issue I have with this car is a DTC code of both bank1 and bank2 going lean and a subsequent check engine light. I have replaced the fuel filter, throttle position sensor, and was about to replace the MAF when I got deployed. The car cruises well, and runs good except for a stumble at 2100 rpm and I have yet to diagnose the problem.
I have been as true and honest about the condition of this vehicle as possible. Keep in mind it is a 14 year old car. We have taken as many pictures as possible, but can send others if there is something else you want to see. I have considered fixing all of the items listed, but just don't have the time since I am out of country.
The car is for sale locally and auction could end early due to local sale of vehicle.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob 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.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

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.
