The Pontiac GTO, one of the last hurrahs for the iconic Pontiac brand before General Motors shelved them in 2010. In the Sixties and Seventies, the GTO was a performance icon, one of the signature muscle cars of the time. However, by the Malaise Era, the GTO had to be retired…but only for a couple of decades. You see, in the Two Thousands, General Motors’ Australian subsidiary Holden was making a fine two-door sports car called the Monaro. It had all the requisite characteristics such as a 350ci V8 and suitably alluring looks. So, GM figured that they might as well import the Monaro into the United States, make a few tweaks, and call it the GTO. So yes, this 2004 Pontiac GTO for sale in Conway, Arkansas actually started life in Adelaide, Australia before being shipped Stateside and sold through Pontiac. It’s a 6-speed manual car that’s received a Lingenfelter Performance Engineering tune, plus several nice upgrades. With just 55,500 miles on the clock and plenty of features to make it suitable for daily driving, this could be your modern muscle car fix right here.

This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.
