2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, United States
|
In 2002 there was no car like this one, period. No other car (save the 1995 ZR1) was faster, and no other handled like it (it out performed any Ferrari of the period). This immaculate 2002 Pontiac Trans Am started life as a stock WS6. With factory approval (to maintain the factory warranty at the time), modifications were performed by the authorized factory technicians at the dealership, Sheehan Pontiac. Virtually every aspect of the car has been modified and the Pontiac was transformed into the "Slingshot", a trademarked conversion.
This is a "one of one" conversion and the car was originally sold for over $70,000 to a private collector where it remained since new... until now. This Pontiac is a "Supercar" in every respect. The original engine of 330 HP has been cranked up to 400HP++. The suspension was modified beyond "Supercar" standards, and the exterior and interior of the car was up-graded to include exotic Italian leathers. The wheels and tires were up-graded, including the installation of Ferrari racing wheels. Every modification was designed to improve performance, reduce weight or enhance appearances. All of the modifications can not listed here, but they are carefully documented in a special Sheehan presentation binder. When completed, the car was named the "Slingshot". All of the WS6 badging was eliminated and replaced with the Slingshot emblems. Only one "Slingshot" was completed before GM finally announced the end of the Pontiac brand altogether. This car is the ultimate collector piece as it will never bee seen again. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking! |

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
