$600,000 for a run of the mill truck?



*Bonus question, what else is wrong in that ad?*

[AaronGTR]

Well, 5.7L does not equal 454 cubic inches for starters. It's only 348 (rounded up).

[bricooper78]

Winner!!!!!!!!

[TDavis]

Am I seeing correctly? $600k?

[bricooper78]

That it is, I'll try to find the link to it, it's just a long bed, granted, it's not rusted to hell, but it's a 96 GMC truck!!! wtf??!!!??

For Sale By: Owner

This listing is for a super-rare Ram Air GT edition Pontiac Grand Am. The year is 2004. It has very low mileage for its age. I do not have any photos of the interior included in this auction at the moment, but it is in perfect condition just like the rest of the car. This car is so rare, there is not even a Blue Book value for it. If you check the Blue Book sites, Ram Air and ENKEI rims are not even options.

I based the asking price on the Blue Book retail price for a Grand Am GT of this year and mileage plus an approximately 30% markup for the rarity of the options. I am open to offers, but given the rare value of this car, I am not willing to sell it cheap or at what you would call a wholesale price. Wholesalers, marketers, and scammers; please don't waste your time or mine by trying to contact me about this.

The engine is a GM 3400 (3.4L) just like what would be found in a police-model Impala. These motors are known for longevity. They use a timing chain rather than a timing belt for the overhead cams, so the motor is basically maintenance free. At the vehicle's current mileage, it is just now getting broken in and has much life ahead of it. I encourage you to search this fact online. In addition to having the famous Impala motor, this special edition car has the forced-induction Ram Air system which gives the 3400 motor more power than would be found in even the police cars.

This vehicle is in perfect, all-original condition. The only "modification" is the K&N air filter (which really isn't even a modification). The bright-red paint is all-original. It is a little dull on the hard-edges on the front end, but this is natural wind-burn on a car like this. I decided that it would have better value with the paint being all original rather than repainting the very-minor fading on the front edges (which probably cannot even be seen in the photos or from a distance of a few feet or more when looking at it in person).

The last year for the Grand Am was 2005. While Pontiac did offer the Ram Air option in previous years, it was nothing like the ones made in 2004 and 2005. These late-model Ram Air GT's featured a aggressive body style with hood scoops, race-style front air-dam (bumper cover), Ferrari-style side louvers, and a spoiler. This is a very powerful and fast car, but also offers all the conveniences of any sport-sedan. The Grand Am was really the first ever sport-sedan to be offered on the modern American market.

There is no grill on the front of the vehicle, instead the Ram Air scoops exist in this location. This is the reason for the custom-styled front air-dam which has a lower front-spoiler that directs air up and into the radiator.

Everything in the vehicle is in top-notch working condition. I just had this vehicle shipped up from the south-west, so it has never even seen snow or road salt. Under the hood, you will see that it is probably the cleanest used car that you have ever seen.

The rims are made by ENKEI (an American manufacturer of premium alloy wheels). Some of the photos show the vehicle without hubcaps, all of the original ENKEI hubcaps are included. The ENKEI name and GM logo are cast into every wheel so that you know that they are authentic.

I have not taken photos of the interior yet, but it is just as clean as the rest of the vehicle. The color is tan. I will gladly provide photos of the interior if you would like to send a message and ask.

The only option for payment and pickup is payment up-front and pickup at my home. The buyer is responsible for arranging shipping if desired and must send cleared/certified payment prior to pickup.

If the buyer is a Maryland or Delaware resident, we will renew the inspection form so that you are ready to register the vehicle.

There are no mechanical problems whatsoever. The only minor issue is that the tires do not match from front to back. The rear tires are brand new Cooper Dorals and the front are Hankook with approximately 1/2-3/4 tread life remaining.

Feel free to contact me through eBay messages with any questions (solicitations and scams will immediately be reported to eBay).

Test drives are only available with payment in hand (my hand). Me holding your payment is not an obligation for you to buy, just my way of protecting my own investment.

Thank you for stopping to check out this vehicle! We appreciate your business. Please check out our eBay store for automotive parts and hardware that you may also be interested (this vehicle obviously does not need any of it). Thanks!

So much fail...

Im saying!.. he has no idea of wtf he is actually selling...


Edit: his asking pirce is over 10k plus shippin. endless fail-.-

[PhantomLover007]

I sent the seller a message.... Yeah.. I'm an

How is this worth 10 grand? The rims are factory torque-style rims that came w/ the car. Someone just added stickers. All V6 Grand Am's are "Ram Air". That's just a sticker too. The 3400 motor was used in SEVERAL GM cars. The body styling is on all GT model Grand Am's and the hood and spoiler are part of the SC/T package. It is not boosted. If it were then there would be a very rare Magna-Charger MP-62 supercharger running the length of the engine bay between the engine and the front frame, or a turbo which, w/ all the tubing, would have to have the battery moved to the trunk.

To bad it doesn't post to the selling page like some of them do.

[H.O. Driver]

all those bids on it, man I can't beleive I could own that peice of history!

IIRC GM has Enkei make most of their factory wheels, I know they did before the BK days but I could be wrong....

[Shade2012]

I'll give him props, the car is pretty clean. The engine bay looks beautiful. No where near 10 grand worth. The guy is an idiot.

I sent him one too!

Hi

I was wondering how much horse power the Ram Air sticker on the hood adds to the car? I have heard anywhere from 1-10hp. Would you mind getting it dyno tuned so I could know?

Also I wanted to make sure before I considered the car if the muffler bearings have been changed?
