2006 Brazen Orange Gto Automatic (still Smells New!) on 2040-cars
Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States
This is an extremely
well cared-for GTO in perfect mechanical condition! It is probably one of the finest examples of
any late-model, Australian-built GTO. Its condition
will undoubtedly rival one with a fraction of its mileage.
Zero-wear interior that still smells new. Even the floor mats appear wear-free (I actually covered them with another set of floor mats to keep them that way).
The dealer installed a new
fuel pump in February of 2012 @ approx. 29,4xx miles. The Goodyear F1 tires are mounted on chromed,
OEM 18” wheels. However, the car was
born with the 18”, silver version of the same wheels (not included). The chrome wheels were a dealer-installed
option.
There are no door dings
– this is an all original paint car! The undercarriage is very clean and has no
evidence of abuse. I’ve kept
the Optima battery (included) on a Battery Tender (battery not included) since my purchase. I’ve only used non-gloss Armor All on the
interior surfaces.
2006 was the only year for
this Brazen Orange exterior color. If you've never seen this paint in direct sunlight, you will be shocked at how
amazing it is! It accents each line and crease in the
bodywork; my photos do it no justice. I've heard it described as “show car” paint. All other color variants seem plain
by comparison.
The photo of the engine
bay shows over-spray of Armor All, not a leak. I sprayed it over the front fascia to prevent
insects from sticking – it actually works quite well.
My modifications were
limited to a set of "ballistic" nylon front seat covers installed the
day I received her, nothing else.
However, a very high quality, orange-anodized PCV oil vapor kit and a
lower temperature thermostat are included, but were never installed.
It appears the previous
owner installed slightly lower springs, but I haven’t yet identified them. The ride is not harsh and the stance is
perfect! In my opinion, these springs are what
the car should have come with. There are
also Hotchkis front & rear adjustable anti-sway bars, T-slotted front
rotors (I have no idea what brake pads are currently installed), HID headlights and a few LED bulb replacements.
This car was obviously owed by an OCD-plagued owner before (and like) me as this car is absolutely un-abused and in incredible condition. I took delivery on 2/12/12 at about 9:30pm and drove it less than 2100 miles since. It’s killing me to sell it, but it bothers me even more to own a car I never use. I’ve included no exaggerations in this description. Simply put, you just won’t believe how nice this car is in person. Please send me any questions you have, but realize I work midnight shift and varied days off. I will, however, answer all questions completely, honestly and without unnecessary delays. Also realize the reason for its sale is practicality, not desperation. So please, only inquires by serious buyers who are actually ready to purchase. Thank you for your interest!
Notice: I am a private owner of this vehicle
and am financing this vehicle through Pentagon Federal Credit Union
(PFCU). Once a sale price is finalized, payment
will be made directly to PFCU. Naturally, the title will be released as soon as the payment is received / confirmed. The representative suggested the payment be “wired”
(electronically transferred) for the quickest release of the title. Payment with a check is estimated to delay
the process by approximately 7 days. |

Pontiac should come back as a performance division for GM
Thu, Apr 6 2017For decades the Pontiac brand was known as GM's performance brand. From the 1964 Pontiac GTO, to the 1967 Firebird, to the 1984 Fiero, to the 2006 Solstice Turbo, and 2009 G8 GXP, Pontiac had a reputation for building exciting cars, with bold styling and performance to back it up. When the Camaro was killed off in 2002, the Pontiac Firebird died off with it, and the last Pontiacs were built in early 2010. But with names like G3, G4, and G6, Pontiac's performance image had long faded from it's earlier glory days. My idea for Pontiac's revival would be to bring it back as a dedicated performance marque similar to Chevy's Super Sport (SS) line up of years past. First, and most obvious would be to bring back the Pontiac Firebird. Offering the entry-level model with the Camaro's 275HP turbo 4 cylinder engine, then having the Camaro SS's 455HP V8, but also offering a halo model Trans Am that is a revamped Camaro ZL-1 along with it's tire-shredding 650HP, supercharged V8 and race tuned suspension. Secondly, I would bring back the GTO. Which I would base on the current Chevy SS, but I would use the full 455-horsepower LS4 V8 (rather than the 415-hp setup that it has now). Furthermore, I would add the impressive 650-hp supercharged V8 to provide real competition to the Charger Hellcat. Importantly, I would make sure that the new GTO had bold, distinctive styling that really set it apart. I understand that purists would want any Pontiac GTO to be a two-door coupe, but I think that they could forgive that if the new GTO was an outstanding American performance car. Next, I would take the Buick Cascada convertible, add much bolder styling, swap in the Camaro's 275-hp turbo engine, and tune up the suspension to provide more performance than luxury (without being harsh). And finally I would round out the line up by using the new 2018 Traverse , but use the new, bold Pontiac design language to spice up the model's looks, tweak the engines for more power, and again provide a performance suspension that matches the model's new sporty looks. Obviously, having a high performance Pontiac model line up would steal away some sales from Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac models. But I think that it would more than make up for this by also stealing away sales from competing brands.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT
Fri, Jun 26 2020The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.
