2004 HOLDEN MONARO GTO Only 377 manual transmission Cosmos Purple GTO's were ever produced. Genuine Australian GM components were used in the conversion:
Other than the above mentioned, the car is completely stock. This car is in excellent condition, no issues. Runs and drives like new. No exaggeration! Very clean interior, purple leather still smells new. 28000 miles. No excessive driveline lash like most others, no rattles. Original springs don't sag. No split seams in the rear seats. No door dings. Wheels although not perfect are free from any curb rash. The sole detractions are a couple of stone chips ons the hood and inevitable minute scratches in the clearcoat. Owners manual, radio code card, silver limited edition brochure and even window sticker are included. I also have the original flat hood (which I prefer) and the purple spoiler that was hideously perched on the trunk lid (which I obviously don't!) Cars of this nature are commonly abused, blown up and more often than not totalled. Many are salvaged . Finding a pampered, carefully driven example is proving to be increasingly difficult. The rare color and Monaro attire only enhance the probability of a unique one off GTO. The car is locally listed. As much as I like this car, I seldom drive it anymore due to life and health issues. Perhaps you can enjoy driving it as much as I have. Please note: In this listing, I have provided an honest personal discription. However, this does not constitute any written or implied warranty or guarantee of any sort. The car is listed in AS IS condition. Any further inquiries can be addressed via ebay contact email. Please allow adequate time for a response. Local interested parties please request appointment to see the car. PLEASE do not waste my time and yours unless you have the funds in order, or permission from whomever runs your life... LONG DISTANCE BUYERS PLEASE CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE FOR PAYMENT DETAILS. NO CHECKS OF ANY SORT WILL BE ACCEPTED. CASH ONLY FOR LOCAL PICK UP. |

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
