Pontiac is one of those American brands that went under not too long ago – in 2009, to be precise. In the last few years of their life, they used to rebadge cars made by Holden in Australia and sell them in the United States. You might recognize this from the last GTO that they sold, which was actually a Holden Monaro. Well, they also rebadged the Holden Commodore as the Pontiac G8. The Commodore/G8 was a full-size sedan with a full-fat V8 under the hood. This particular 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP is one of those cars, and since the G8 was only made between 2007 and 2009, less than 40,000 were sold. So, here’s your chance to get something quirky with just 38,000 miles on the clock and an all-important LS3 engine under the hood. It is reportedly a custom build because it’s got some changes from stock.
Although Pontiac is no more, we can fondly look back on the brand's greatest hits. While the most prolific is the Firebird/Trans Am, the Solstice is one of their more recent hits. Produced between 2005 and 2010, this two-seat sports car sold 7,000 units within the first ten days of being announced. This was a shock for Pontiac, as they had planned to make 7,000 units for the entire year! The final production figure of the Solstice stood at 65,724 units, once again an impressive volume for a sports car. This 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Convertible is of the higher-performance GXP variant and comes to you with just 26,500 miles on the odometer. Read on to find out why it should be your next toy.
Undoubtedly, the '60s was the era for muscle cars, but the decades that followed may have garnered a reputation for toning that approach down just a tad. However, this changed in the 2000s with the release of the first-generation tribute Mustang and the rebirth of the Chevrolet Camaro that is now popular from the Transformer franchise. But there was another new-age muscle car that deserves a look, too: this iconic 2006 Pontiac GTO we have today. With a reported 66,000 miles on the clock, this American powerhouse is built to take your weekend drives up a notch and be the talking point at your local car show.
When it was introduced, the Pontiac Solstice was a nominee for the North American Car of the Year award. It was one of the last models built by the company before it was mothballed, which is a shame because, during its five years of production, this small, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive convertible sports car managed to find its way into the hearts of many. Our featured 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster is reported to be of exceptionally low mileage, with just 37,000 miles on the clock — that’s an average running of just over 2,000 miles per annum. This example features the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter Ecotec engine from General Motors, and puts power to the road via a five-speed manual transmission.
The mid-2000s marked a distinct shift in the automotive landscape, with consumer preferences veering towards more efficient and technologically advanced vehicles. Despite this, the era produced some noteworthy muscle cars that defied the trend, offering a nod to their glorious predecessors from the 1960s. Among these modern classics is the 2006 Pontiac GTO, a vehicle that stands out as a rare gem in an age where the roar of a large V8 engine became increasingly uncommon. With 76,000 miles logged, this GTO redefines performance for the 2000s, delivering reliability and exhilaration with every mile driven, ensuring an abundance of smiles per gallon.
Pontiac’s GTO marque dates back to 1963. As a matter of fact, Pontiac is known to be one of the first advocates of muscle cars. The GTO marque was discontinued in 1974, and wasn’t restarted until 2003 with the fifth generation GTO which was actually a re-badged Holden Monaro, nevertheless it came with the proper V8 engine of either 5.7L (347ci) or 6.0L (366ci). Our subject vehicle is a 2005 Pontiac GTO ProCharger, with only 32,275 miles on the clock and available in Connecticut. It’s got quite a few tasty upgrades under the hood, making it quite a beast.
Without a shadow of a doubt, muscle cars changed the automobile landscape when they were first introduced. These were purely homemade two-door sports coupes with engines made to shred rubber. And the car that championed and argued that started the muscle car trend is the Pontiac GTO. First introduced in 1964, the Pontiac GTO was unlike any other vehicle in the market, and people just loved it. Pontiac went on to produce the car for four generations, while the GM subsidiary Holden made the fifth generation from 2004 to 2006. Up for grabs is a 2004 Pontiac GTO with a few tasty upgrades and just a little over 45,000 miles on the odometer.
In 2002, after a glorious run across four generations, the Pontiac Firebird was due to be put to pasture. Pontiac’s iconic pony car was saying goodbye to the world, although its Camaro sister car would continue for over two more decades. It was a sad year for enthusiasts, given that the Firebird had become quite cult hero. The second generation starred as Jim Rockford’s car in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation became Knight Rider’s KITT, one of the most-loved cars of the silver screen. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automotive nameplate with a similar level of recognition by the public due to its Hollywood appearances. So, if you want to own a Firebird from the last year of production, and one with some serious power under the hood, check out this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. This 116,000-mile car packs quite a wallop and has undergone handling and braking upgrades too.
In all likelihood, you have probably heard of KITT from the "Knight Rider" series even if you aren’t a major petrolhead. This lovable character was based on a third-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, which provided the automaker with continuity of the powerful marketing edge that 1977’s ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ kicked off with the second-generation example it featured as the hero car. Sadly, no more in existence, Pontiac's most renowned nameplate was arguably the Pontiac Firebird that was built from 1967 to 2002 This stunning example is a 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 from the fourth and final generation of Firebird. It’s got a decent gamut of factory options, and comes from Indiana with 17,488 original miles on the odometer.
Pontiac’s Firebird, widely known as one of the most iconic pony cars ever to grace the silver screen, breathed its last breath by the end of 2002. Yes, Pontiac officially axed the Firebird nameplate after more than three decades of performance heritage, and the brand itself would be shelved by General Motors several years later. Famous for its starring roles in Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Rider, the Firebird remains one of the most recognizable American muscle cars in history. If you’re a Firebird fan, take a close look at this fourth-generation 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SLP Firehawk, now offered for sale in Carlsbad, New Mexico. With just over 28,000 miles on the odometer, this example stands out not just for its mileage, but for what it represents — a rare, factory-authorized performance upgrade by SLP Engineering (Street Legal Performance).
The Pontiac Firebird was one of a two-part GM response to Ford's popular Mustang. Debuting in 1967 alongside the Chevrolet Camaro, these two popular nameplates have always been siblings. Well, until 2002, when GM axed the Firebird from their line-up. The Firebird is famous for appearances in shows such as Smokey & The Bandit and Knight Rider. If you've been a Firebird fan, we've got a nice 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 for sale. Bearing a mere 14,900 miles, this one-owner car can be yours if you desire along with 2 sets of keys and the original dealer invoice included in the sale.
Pontiac's Firebird debuted in 1967 as the sister car to Chevy's Camaro. Sharing many common elements above and below the skin, the Trans Am was one side of a double whammy by General Motors designed to knock the Ford Mustang off the pony car perch. The Firebird was produced over four generations from 1967 to 2002 and is a much-loved car on the silver screen. The second generation was heavily featured in Smokey and the Bandit, while the third was the basis for Knight Rider's KITT. When the fourth generation rolled around in 1993, it featured many improvements, including 90% of its parts being all-new. Up for sale with us is an excellent example of a fourth-generation Firebird Trans Am. This particular 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible is said to have over $7,000 invested in refreshment work by the current owner. It's now up for sale and bears just 68,000 miles on its odometer.
