2008 PONTIAC G8 VIN 001

Details

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.
