Thread: My Red GT

Picked this car up in June 2009 from the original owner, who is a retired GM employee. The car had been sitting in his backyard since 2006. I asked him what was wrong with it and he told me the trans was bad so he let me have it for $3,000. The car wasn't even for sale! When I got it home I figured out that the cat was just plugged. Free cat from the local Pontiac dealer (recall) and I was up and running. Heres what the car looked like when I bought it with 112,000 on it.





Replaced the Intake gaskets, cleaned up the engine bay, tinted the windows, got some Comp G wheels for it and now it looks like this.







I plan on replacing the fogged headlights, leaking tail lights and my somehow sand filled fog lights this spring. Then I think it will look much better than it does now. Oh and it also needs a good claybar and wax too. Thanks for looking.

I love Comp G wheels.

I'd say that thing on Vogtlands would be AWESOME

that was a amazing deal on it great looking car and the wheels look amazing on it

That's a good looking car you have there. Gotta' love red.

lol for a Retired GM employee he wasnt too bright if a clogged cat was all that was wrong.

You assume he is a service technician?

He serviced the robots in a powertrain plant in case you were curious.

That would explain a lot of GM's fails. like using plastic in a hot engine.

bahaha ^^ nice grab man looks *****in

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

How do you all think a gen 2 spoiler look instead of the stock one? Im thinking about picking one up, if I can find one...

I say sure...get some new headlight capsules in that thing.

Just for your reference...

I bought the 140 buck or whatever black capsules...and as long as the car wasn't put into a car wash everyday...I had them for nearly 2 years and the car sat out and they didn't leak at all.
