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.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe

Thu, Feb 21 2019

In a few months, we'll reach the tenth anniversary of GM's axing of the venerable Pontiac brand. G6s, Vibes, and Matizes continued to be built until 2010, but I'm noticing a marked decrease in discarded Pontiacs lately, as I perform my junkyardy rituals. Here's a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, photographed in a Colorado wrecking yard. The Sunfire was the near-identical sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier, based on the long-running (1982-2005) J-Body platform. It was cheap and simple, looked pretty sporty (at least in coupe form), and every parts store in North America carried just about everything you'd need to keep one running. This coupe had to compete for sales not only with a vast and menacing array of imports but with GM's own Saturn SC2 (not to mention the Cavalier itself). Meanwhile, the J platform was showing its age more with each passing year. This car sports what must have been the complete line of Fatal Clothing bomber-nose-art/skate-punk/gang-tag-influenced decals, circa 2010. I actually photographed this car back in 2011, then misplaced the image files until last week. The stickers are very California-centric for a Colorado car, but then plenty of Californians — including me— move here. When you know you're a car's final owner, it's a lot easier to whip out the paint pens and redecorate the interior. Power came from the engine GM developed for the very first J-Bodies: the 2.2-liter 122 pushrod four-cylinder. 2002 was the last model year for 122-powered Sunfires and Cavaliers; the most affordable S-10/Sonoma/Hombre trucks got this engine through 2003.

It even came with a remote, so bad Midwestern farmgirls could make quick getaways when caught in the act by enraged broom-wielding mothers.

Looking Back At Oprah's Free-Car Giveaway 10 Years Later

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6." But this is not just any G6. This car is a part of television history. Vielweber won her G6 10 years ago at a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show, when Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car. It was an unprecedented stunt that changed lives, generated controversy and ultimately failed to provide enough of a marketing lift for Pontiac, which would be shuttered just over five years later. September 13 marks the 10-year anniversary of the memorable event, which caught everyone, including audience members, by surprise. In a masterful display of showmanship, Oprah dialed up the suspense to match the enormity – and cost – of the event. First she gave away 11 cars, which would have been a landmark TV promotion by itself. But then she coyly announced: "I've got a little twist." Models circulated throughout the audience carrying silver platters loaded with white boxes wrapped in red ribbon. One contained a set of keys, Oprah implied, for another audience member to win the final car. "Do not open it. Do not shake it," she commanded the crowd. Finally, with the suspense built to a fevered pitch, everyone opened their box. They all had keys. "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" Oprah exclaimed. "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Everybody did get a car. But not everyone kept it. William Toebe attended the show with his wife, Jillaine, and he immediately thought of the tax implications, which stretched to $6,000 or more for some audience members. It was a tough reality for many in the audience that day, some of which had been selected based on their need for a new car. "That responsible part of me stepped forward and wondered 'where am I going to get the money to pay the taxes?'" he recalled.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek

Tue, Jul 11 2017

Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.
