Up for sale in our Tampa Showroom is this stunning, 2004 Pontiac
GTO. Not only is this particular car extremely rare (1 of just 241
in Barbados Blue with a manual transmission), but it is barely
broken in with slightly more than 12,000 miles showing on the
odometer! The GTO nameplate was revived from 2004 to 2006 as a
captive import for Pontiac as the American, left-hand drive version
of the Holden Monaro. The revival was prompted by former GM North
America Chairman Bob Lutz, who had the idea of importing a Holden
Commodore-based vehicle after reading a Car and Driver review of
the Holden Commodore SS. The GTO was assembled by GM's Holden
subsidiary at Elizabeth Australia. It was equipped with the 5.7
liter LS1 V8 engine for the 2004 model year, the same engine found
in the concurrent model year Chevrolet Corvette, with a choice of a
6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic. This particular
one is the 6 speed manual. General Motors claimed performance of
5.3 seconds to 60 and a 13.8 second quarter mile time, which was
closely verified by several magazine tests. The hood scoops that
originally were slated for production in 2005 were pushed into
production as part of an over-the-counter Sport Appearance Package.
The 2004 Sport Appearance Package also included a taller and more
angular rear spoiler, as well as deeper inset grilles. The interior
is amazing in leather with gorgeous stitching signifying its
lineage of the almighty GTO. Options include on this 2004 Pontiac
GTO include air conditioning, AM/FM radio, CD player, cruise
control, anti lock brakes, anti theft system, driver airbag,
passenger airbag, leather seats, lumbar support, power seats, power
locks, power mirrors, power windows, remote keyless entry, rear
defogger, traction control, tilt wheel, numbers matching and
aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in performance radial tires. To see
