Ram Air, Supercharged Grand Prix GTX. Rare and Factory Tuned by SLP!

Unsure of your next collector car? Is this your first foray into the collector car hobby? Just want something different or unique, while still affordable? Glad you stopped by!

Art and Speed is proud to showcase the next "big thing." While still under the muscle car market radar, this extremely rare, showroom condition, 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Ram Air GTX tuned by SLP will most certainly go down as one of the few collectible cars from the 1990s. So, what's rare about a 1997 Grand Prix? How many supercharged, 240 horsepower, 3.8 liter V6s do you remember seeing on the street? How many factory-endorsed SLP tuned cars PERIOD do you remember? A few special Trans Ams maybe, which have become very collectible, but not many. In case you are wondering, SLP ("Street Legal Performance") took only high optioned Grand Prixs, then "tuned" the unique cars by adding a functional, composite RAM AIR hood with twin scoops, much like the well received 1995 300 GPX show car, forced air induction system with K&N filter, adding ten additional horsepower. Then, special badging included GTX RAM AIR nameplates, and two GTX RAM AIR key fobs were included, all at an additional $2500 above the factory MSRP of $24,380. Optional content, which this car has, included the $799 SLP free flow cat-back, stainless steel exhaust system with dual outlets and dual tips, adding an ADDITIONAL ten horsepower. Other options on this particular car included the very rare GTX RAM AIR front and rear floor mats, and chrome 17" GTX wheels.

So, see what we mean when we say extremely rare? Now, let's up the ante. The SLP option wasn't available for 1997. This owner, original by the way, shipped his 1997 Grand Prix GTP to SLP in March of 2000 for the holy "conversion" if you will. So, is this car a one of one 1997 Grand Prix tuned by SLP? We honestly don't know but if it isn't, how many could realistically be out there? VERY rare car indeed!

As with all Art & Speed automobiles, this Grand Prix GTX represents the "cream of the crop". All documentation since original purchase comes with the car including window sticker, all SLP documentation and receipts, every single service and maintenance ever done, including every oil and filter change. This meticulously maintained performance car has accumulated just over 41,000 miles since new and is virtually flawless. Never wrecked or damaged, its deep black finish is without compromise. Trust us, you will not be disappointed in this spectacular automobile. Contact Art & Speed today at 901-850-0507.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Phoenix LJ Hatchback

Sun, Jan 22 2023

The car-building world was rushing headlong into front-wheel-drive by the late 1970s, eager to reap the weight-saving and space-enhancing benefits of front-drive designs. General Motors designed an innovative FWD platform to replace the embarrassingly outdated Chevrolet Nova and its siblings, and that ended up being the Chevrolet Citation. The other US-market GM car divisions (except Cadillac) got a piece of the X-Body action, and the Pontiac version was called the Phoenix. Here's one of those first-year Phoenixes, not doing a very good job of rising from its snow-covered ashes in a Colorado self-service yard. Pontiac had used the Phoenix name on a luxed-up iteration of Pontiac's version of the Chevy Nova during the 1977-1979 model years, and so it made sense to apply that name to the Pontiac-ized Citation. Phoenix production continued through the 1984 model year (the Citation managed to hang on through 1985). Just to confuse everyone, the Nova name was revived in 1985, on a NUMMI-built Toyota Corolla. The LJ trim level was the nicest one for the 1980 Phoenix, and it included lots of trim upgrades and convenience features. However, even Phoenix LJ buyers had to pay extra for a three-speed automatic transmission instead of the base four-on-the-floor manual ($337, or about $1,291 in 2022 dollars). If you wanted air conditioning, that was another $564 and you had to get the $164 power steering and the $76 power brakes with it (total cost in 2022 dollars: $3,080). Affordable cars weren't so affordable back then, not once you started adding basic options. Both generations of the Phoenix had grilles influenced by those of the Pontiacs of earlier years. The base engine was the chugging 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, but a 2.8-liter V6 was optional. This car has the V6, rated at 115 horsepower rather than the Duke's miserable 90 horses. The price tag: 225 bucks, or 862 inflation-adjusted 2022 bucks. The Phoenix was available just as a two-door coupe and five-door hatchback. The MSRP on this car would have started at $6,127, or around $23,469 now. That would have been a pretty good deal even after paying for the options, with the Phoenix's excellent mix of good interior space and solid fuel economy… but the Citation and its kin (the Oldsmobile Omega and Buick Skylark as well as the Phoenix) suffered from seemingly endless, highly publicized recalls and quality problems.
