Description:2006 Pontiac GTO The last GTO was produced on June 14, 2006, in Elizabeth, South Australia after three years of production in the Holden Monaro plant. A total of 40,758 GTO\'s were produced, reviving the legendary muscle car moniker that had been in hibernation for 30 years. The car received mixed reviews from Pontiac purists despite their potent drivetrain and sold far less than expected. Today they represent a collectible modern muscle car that is becoming more common at car shows than on the streets of daily commutes. For consignment, a 2006 Pontiac GTO with a title verified 21,561 actual miles, equipped with the 6.0 liter LS2 motor. This is a garage kept example and of the 13,948 GTO\'s produced in 2006, about 13% of them, 1,794, were painted Spice Red Metallic. Exterior The Australians call them bonnet nostrils but over here we tend to call them hood scoops, and they were added for the 2006 model and such a hit with GTO fans, that many added the hood to their 2004 and 2005 cars. It\'s a dominant feature of the face and a call back of the 1968 and up GTO. Where the Monaro had one open grille, Pontiac made their distinctive twin grille and incorporated honeycomb mesh, a shape synonymous with Pontiac performance cars. The rounded fascia houses flush mounted fog lights and wrap around headlights. In profile, the Spice Red Metallic car presents a distinguishing high back and the view from behind yields a muscular tail with wide split Altezza-type tail lights and massive pipes fitting into the GTO engraved black valance and topped with a wing. 18-inch five spoke GTO wheels wear 235/40ZR18 tires and look great. In fact, the exterior is near flawless with the exception of curb scrapes under the chin. Interior A mix of black materials construct clean, flowing door panels with no right angles to be found. The leather bucket seats in front are heavily bolstered and adorned with GTO embroidery on the seat back. Just the slightest of leather creasing the driver\'s seat support indicates some usage but otherwise in near showroom condition. The 2+2 seating in the back shares the materials and almost as much support keeping the kids, or your adult passengers secure around turns. A leather wrapped steering wheel leads to a simple gauge cluster in which the circles overlap with gray faced dials in a cove of textured plastic. The center stack has basic A/C controls and an integrated AM/FM/CD radio which waterfalls into the center console from which the shifter rises with a stitched leather boot in a plastic panel. Low pile black carpet covers the floor and includes fitted carpeted mats and the sculpted headliner above, like the rest of the interior, is in near excellent condition. We do note that the top of the rear seats have torn at the seam and show some separation. Drivetrain Up a few points from the previous year GTO\'s, lifting the hood reveals the very clean 6.0 liter LS2 engine rated at 400 horsepower and adorned with a Volant aftermarket cold air kit. The stock unit comes with the car. This herd of horses is set into motion by a 4L65E 4-speed automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels, muscle car style where it encounters 3.46 gears. With that many hooves under foot, only power disc brakes on all four wheels could rein it in. Undercarriage Some road spray and surface rust exists underneath which is otherwise generally very clean. Dual exhaust flows into a Gibson mufflers then leaves in tandem to split direction at the rear differential on their way to chrome tips in back. Independent suspension is found front and rear. Drive-Ability It\'s hard to believe these are nearly 20 years old and aside from the lack of a Bluetooth radio and center screen, the interior feels completely contemporary and provides a sporty, comfortable ergonomic environment to pilot this Goat. The car sparks to life with fuel injection and a very nice bellow echoes from the pipes. Into drive
