Vehicle Description
Pontiac's best performance vehicle of the late-model age was the
Pontiac G8, produced in Elizabeth, South Australia, by GM's Holden
Division. As part of an agreement between GM and its dealer
network, this is VIN 001, the very first production Pontiac G8
sequenced for the American market. It was purchased new by a
High-Performance Pontiac magazine staff member for use as a
national promotion involving Pedders Suspension, an Australian
company working with GM on these cars. It was also formerly part of
the Burt Reynolds Collection. This first G8 has been well-stored
and cared for. It has 801 actual miles. The performance suspension
was installed for the magazine articles and to launch the product.
This G8 still even its original tires. This Pontiac G8 is finished
in black and features a prototype Bandit insignia. The car comes
with a copy of the letter from Pontiac's General Manager, Jim
Bunnell, notifying the receiving dealer of being selected to
receive this special VIN 001 car. Also included is the original
Window Sticker, which is autographed by Burt Reynolds. It's
equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine backed by an automatic
transmission, and features prototype Bandit insignia. A select
offering from The Bryan Frank Collection.
