2008 PONTIAC G8 VIN 001

Details

Pontiac's best and rarest 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 is a true rarity - both today and for future generations yet to come. 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. This first G8 has been extremely well-stored and cared for. It has 790 actual miles. The performance suspension was installed for the magazine articles and to launch the product. This G8 is a true time capsule and still even wears its original tires. It is an extremely rare and collectible piece of Pontiac history. Currently a part of the Burt Reynolds collection, this Pontiac G8 is in Mr. Reynolds' favorite and iconic color of 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 are the original Window Sticker and other GM-Pontiac paperwork. It's equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine with automatic transmission.
