viewing this 2006 Pontiac GTO on a website other than our Garage
Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only seen some of our
many photographs of the car due to third-party website limitations.
To be sure you access all the more than 145 photographs, as well as
a short start-up and walk-around video, and a link to the GTO's
2-owner, accident-and-damage-free, very low-mileage Carfax history
report, please go to our main website: Garage Kept Motors.) If you
want to shop around for other true four-seaters that can run with
this Pontiac, you'll be visiting BMW and Mercedes-Benz showrooms,
and be looking at $50,000-plus window stickers. - Edmunds road
test. It wasn't just Edmunds hailing the performance of the
last-year GTO, as DrivingLine noted: With a six-speed GTO, Car and
Driver got 0-60 in 4.8 seconds and the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds
at 107 mph. That was hauling.... After three years, Pontiac sold
just under 41,000 of what was its quickest, best handling GTO ever.
The writers went on to provide more GTO development stats: For
2005, the GTO got a few upgrades including a pair of hood scoops,
dual exhaust outlets in the rear, bigger brakes and a larger LS2 V8
that made 400 horsepower. All of this improved upon the car's
already impressive performance, while also giving it a dash of
extra curb appeal. The GTO continued into 2006 with minor changes,
but with the end of Monaro production in Australia, this also
marked the end of the Pontiac GTO's three-year revival. In 2009,
General Motors decided to shut down the Pontiac brand as a result
of the economic recession - and this meant there would never be
another GTO produced. Offered here in classic black-on-black is a
2006 Pontiac GTO, the last year for the GTO and indeed, for all of
Pontiac. The car has been well cared for, respected by its owners,
and very lightly driven. Showing just 6,877 miles on its odometer,
it has traveled just 458 miles per-year on average. This GTO's
exceptional condition is the result of that limited use. The black
paint-nicely accented with a narrow red pinstripe-shows
beautifully; black was an excellent choice by the original owner.
One result of the black body paint is that trim (like the front
twin grilles, rear valance red GTO lettering, and emblems) stands
out. The GTO 6.0 Litre fender emblems are another example.
Body-panel fit and finish is excellent, above GM standards of the
day, owing to the Australian sourcing. The car's lower-body panels,
its rear-deck spoiler, and rear-valance trim all show no signs of
damage. Cabin glass and lighting lenses (including driving lights
on the lower front valance) are clear and free of cracks. The
five-spoke factory alloy wheels (with Pontiac-logo center caps) are
free of curb rash; new Good Year® F1 performance tires are mounted.
Inside, the four-seater's racing-style, properly bolstered front
and rear bucket seats are upholstered in black leather; the
front-seats feature embroidered GTO identification on the upper
portion of the backrests. The Pontiac-logo steering wheel fronts
driver-focused, analog instruments with red faces. Across all the
instruments and switchgear on the black dash, the white graphic
markings are free of virtually any sign of wear. Door
trim-including the step-over area of the door jamb, a reliable
indicator of owner care-is likewise damage-free. The
console-mounted Hurst® short shifter features the 6-speed shift
pattern; to its rear there is a between-seat storage compartment.
Cabin floors are black carpet protected by GTO-identified front
carpet mats. The car's trunk is as spotless as the rest of the car.
Under the hood, the impressive, 6-liter LS2, 400-horsepower V8
makes for a memorable sight. The engine bay is perfectly clean and
properly ordered. An u
