I know alot of you have been waiting for this data; so have we as many of us here own G8's! We are also working to get you guys and gals data broken out by Transmission/Roof/Interior Color/Tires for the GXP's as well as that will be what people really look for in the future as these undoubtedly become a collectable as the last and most Powerful Pontiac.

The good news is Sellers and Sellers Auto Sport will be around to help you guys keep these vehicles in tip-top shape as well as make them faster for many more years to come!

Great info! Thakns for the heads up. Looking forward to that transmission breakdown too!

Thank you very much for posting this! Yes the transmission breakdowns will be very interesting.

Interesting. So Sports Red is a middle of the pack color. Thanks for the info.

So I guess this includes both 2009 and 2009.5 models?

EDIT: What a minute, 1829 for the GXP? I thought this whole time it was 1828???

1828 Salable units... Last unit isnt for sale ;) Yes that's for 09 and 09.5

what color was the last unit?

Nice to know, do you have a breakdown for 08s?

what color was the last unit?

Look at the press reviews, I would guess that it is a GM press pool car that will eventually be sold thru GM's internal auction, although it may be destined for the GM collection or some other similar fate. Could even have been a salt spray test car for that matter, or something worse.

During my time at another major automaker, as a young engineer, I had the (dis)pleasure of driving a number of cars that enthusiasts would kill for on their last run to the crusher....you just never know what an automaker will for with what they build.

man that makes me want a gxp even more so rare only 1828 :(

man that makes me want a gxp even more so rare only 1828 :(

yeah, this might turn out to be something like the last of the bad ass cars in 1970 before everything went to ****. 1800 isn't very many at all.

That many silver GXPs and I still haven't seen one with a later VIN than my 11676. They must have built all/most of them during the early part of the run.

So the total G8 production run for the two years was 38,449 including nonsaleable units.

27,071 cars sold as of 6/1/09 so less than 11,378 remain.

Have they all hit dealers lots? Has there really been 56 SBM GXP's sold? Ok, I guess there are a few A6's still out there but not many.

That's not Sold, that's PRODUCED! 56 SBM GXPs Produced.

Does anyone have access to a detail data base of options for each of the colors produced??
I'd like to know how many of the 1,111 SBM GT's had full options?

That's not Sold, that's PRODUCED! 56 SBM GXPs Produced.

I fully understand what it is. But what I'm saying is I've been watching GMbuypower.com and searching all over very closely and I would be surprised if 50 (or so) had already sold in SBM. There's around 10 left right now (in A6 form). I'm sure a number of them were sold before they hit the ground and were only listed on GMbuypower.com for a couple of days but I still have to think that more are inbound to dealers.

SBM still beats out PSM in total but loses to PSM in the GXP count...:driving:

Interesting, one must get the solid onyx interior and neither has the red guages...

I guess the good news is I won't be passing myself every day. Only 56 is not very many SBM GXP's. I guess I better keep all of the stock parts just in case.

Thanks for posting the info!

One of forty-five. Pretty damn cool. :driving:

It would be very cool to have the 08 breakout also :)

It would be very cool to have the 08 breakout also :)

It appears that the official g8nation.com blog had the numbers for 2008.

http://www.g8nation.com/2008/08/2008-pontiac-g8-production-color-breakdown/

Unforutnately they didn't break out by model G8 vs G8 GT.

I'd like to see a breakout with interior color. Onyx/red seem to be pretty rare.

It would be very cool to have the 08 breakout also :)


I requested that on first page lol.

Yeah interior color and options breakdown on 08s too :D

I'd like to see a breakout with interior color. Onyx/red seem to be pretty rare.

I noticed that. My dealer (Conklin/Fangman in Kansas City) had two GT's exactly alike (I bought one of them on June 4th) and they both had the onyx/red interior. Besides those, I hadn't seen any locally. I really liked the look with White Hot exterior :)

1828 Salable units... Last unit isnt for sale ;) Yes that's for 09 and 09.5

So where does the last unit go? So does this mean that we should refer to the GXPs as "1of 1828" or "1 of 1829" produced? I'm asking b/c I'm going to put the number indiscretely on my license plate.

does anyone have the numbers of # of m6 gxp's made? i feel like the m6 is gonna be rediculously hard to find, and even harder to find a good price on one in a couple years

does anyone have the numbers of # of m6 gxp's made? i feel like the m6 is gonna be rediculously hard to find, and even harder to find a good price on one in a couple years

It will be interesting to see a breakdown. I know locally I saw six GXPs at our dealer and all were M6. You are most likely correct on the prices staying up on any GXP and not just the M6.

Chip

can't wait to see entire break down, options, interior color, etc.

I know there is one liquid red GXP in Northwest Arkansas..I crossed paths with it in my lowly sport red GT in a wal mart parking lot of all places lol.

I waved.....He didnt.... GXP drivers are A-holes.

Actually no. I gauk and wave every time I see any G8. Noone has waved back yet though. I love these cars. I wish I had one of each color in my garage except for SRM... no offense.

Another intresting fact: 04-06 GTO production figures 40,808 Our G8s are rarer than GTOs

Fun with math.

The contiguous lower-48 United States is 3,119,884.69 square miles according to Wikipedia. Of that 2,959,064.44 is land. That means in the wild there is 1,222.75 square miles for each 2009 White Hot G8 GT.

Ya I know I left out Alaska and Hawaii but that would blow out the math in a vast area that has minimal roads.

26,404 total for 2009.

But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother

thanks for the info!

man that makes me want a gxp even more so rare only 1828 :(

Me too... :(

Still love my GT though

Ok, Just got me a G8 gxp... and found your forum,, bought 7/17/09 ... Silver with onyx ..auto...sunroof.... Vin 18731... Is this a 09 or 09.5 .. Thx

All GXP's are 09.5's

That many silver GXPs and I still haven't seen one with a later VIN than my 11676. They must have built all/most of them during the early part of the run.

Last 6 on my silver GXP: 318723. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to the paint order. I dunno much about the manufacturing process, but you would think it would make sense to do all one color, then when that's done, switch to another, rather than paint one black, the next one white, the next one gray, then back to black, etc.

By the way, I see your sig says your car is "de-badged." How did you debadge the pontiac logo off the front of the car without leaving ugly holes? It seems to be drilled into the body, unlike all the other logos/lettering which are just glued.

Actually no. I gauk and wave every time I see any G8. Noone has waved back yet though. I love these cars. I wish I had one of each color in my garage except for SRM... no offense.

I have a Jeep Wrangler and guys are always waving at you (mostly older modified Wranglers). One Sunday 3 waves.....by the forth I was tired of waving back.....it's a Jeep thing.

My car is only partially debadged... the arrowheads are still in place. I like the arrowheads and the fender GXP logos, so I've left them be.

Yeah, it would be great to see a chart for the '08's broken down like the one Sellers Auto Sport did for the '09s. Maybe one of the dealers could secure this info from GM to supplement what G8Nation provided to come up with a division between the base and GT model.

^ What he said!

:iagree:

Does anyone have an idea of the approximate percent of GXP's that were 6 speed manuals?

Ask and you shall receive!

Gentlemen, behold, 2008 Pontiac G8 production numbers!!!



Panther Black (80U): 28.8% / 3,469
Liquid Red (62U): 20.1% / 2,421
Magnetic Gray (18U): 20.0% / 2,409
White Hot (11U): 18.4% / 2,216
Ignition Orange (77U): 7.7% / 927
Stealth Blue (25U): 4.9% / 590

Sorry, all I have is colors. I don't have V6 versus V8. So the total is 12,045 units in the 2008 model year.

By these numbers a 2008 Stealth Blue is as rare as rare gets.

From 2008 to 2009.5 Panther Black becomes the most common color by a landslide, close to 1/3 of production.

Does anyone have an idea of the approximate percent of GXP's that were 6 speed manuals?

This is a question that is still open to some debate, in fact alot of debate. I have been doing manual tracking of GXPs on this board, and others, to try to determine this, and I am coming up with different numbers than I expected. I have tracked nearly 15% of all GXPs built, and right now I am showing about a 60% manual/40% automatic split. Based on cars in present inventory though, I think this ratio will turn around to be 60% automatic/40% manual. If that occurs, then there will have been about 750 manuals produced.

I have a Jeep Wrangler and guys are always waving at you (mostly older modified Wranglers). One Sunday 3 waves.....by the forth I was tired of waving back.....it's a Jeep thing.

Ah, its an automotive thing. LandCruiser owners always wave to each other.

I wave to G8 owners in my GXP.

Does anyone know the last month the G8 GXP was produced?

Does anyone have access to a detail data base of options for each of the colors produced??
I'd like to know how many of the 1,111 SBM GT's had full options?

... There's at least two of us!!!!!:)

Does anyone know the last month the G8 GXP was produced?

I believe that production ceased in April or early May. The last cars built see to have VINs in the 320xxx range. Hope that helps.

I believe that production ceased in April or early May. The last cars built see to have VINs in the 320xxx range. Hope that helps.

IIRC the MGM one I almost bought had a 321xxx VIN and it was made in February 2009. I believe I saw a couple of slightly higher vins but I would have to think they were made around the same time.

I believe there was someone that claimed to have an April 28 made car but I'm wondering if 4/28 refers to the ship date. Would be curious what that vin was.

... There's at least two of us!!!!!:)
And now there is three. :wink2:

My VIN ends in 321020, and has a built date of 02/09. I haven;t seen a higher VIN than that, but have no doubt there is at least one out there...no way I am lucky enough to have the last one built, just the last SBM sold.

And now there is three. :wink2:

Here's 4!

So there will be NO G8's made for the 2010 model year? 2009.5 is the last of them. Is that right?

Right.

what color was the last unit?

Was the last unit the Orange GXP that they used for press/ advertising??

The orange GXP was the prototype showed when the GXP was announced and never sold to the public, at least not the way it was displayed.

It would be interesting to know if that car is still within GM or if it was stripped and scrapped.

If it still exists, it's quite the collectible.

I did my part...

I have been told that production ceased in February. 2009.5 production was biased towards GXP's. Obviously the decision to axe Pontiac had been made well in advance of the April 27 announcement...

If you look up the "build date" of your car in GMVIS, it will show a date 5-8 weeks later than when your car was actually assembled in Oz. The build date is the date the vehicle was processed through the port at Benecia - the same anomaly with the date on the build plate/date in GMVIS was noted with the GTO.

The last VIN is a 321xxx I believe - don't know the number - if I did, someone could pull a GMVIS report and figure out what color it was, and where it went.

It would be interesting to know if that car is still within GM or if it was stripped and scrapped.

If it still exists, it's quite the collectible.

I'm sure it's in GM's vehicle fleet.

the only problem with my GT is the fact it didn't come with a manual tranny. I have six cars each of which is a manual with the exception of the GT...oh well....hopefully, some day the classifieds will cure the problem!
:whine:

I'd take the GXP Street Edition....not to get off topic :)

But back on topic, my VIN starts with 208 if i recall correctly...early GXP.

But back on topic, my VIN starts with 208 if i recall correctly...early GXP.

I've heard there are only a handful (4-8) GXP's which were 20xxxx VINs. I've seen one of these at Sellers Buick-Pontiac-GMC, all torn apart due to an interior mold problem.

Did you get your car new, or was it a PEP or "demo"/had some miles on it? Reason I ask is that I know a few of the other 20xxxx VIN's were early engineering eval/press cars...

yes,

but now I know what to look for!!

Yes, mine was a GM show vehicle. GM owned, a PEP is an entirely different classification than the press/GM company vehicles

I know of two others, and possibly 4 if the PBM and SRM GXPs Sellers had on their lot with a few hundred miles could've been the same press-type vehicles.

I don't recall their VINs @ Sellers, maybe I took a photo of the window stickers a while back while browsing, I need to check.

Have we gotten a break down by color and option group yet? That would be awesome data to have.

I know G8 GTs in the G8 community are a dime a dozen, and I know that white was the third most popular color, but I would have to think for 2009 G8 GTs that are white, with all options, plus the GM DIC added, plus the GM rear parking assist added, plus a GM auto dimming mirror, well now it starts getting into one of (very small number). I realize no data available on those dealer installed goodies, but it would be cool to know.

Can anybody get the paint code/process/specifics for the orange one ? Earl has his list; I have mine...Buy ! Build ! Create !

Click here for paint code information. (http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16108)

Now that we know the total production numbers by year, color and model, it would be interesting to start tracking how many are still on the road. Another area would be how many were produced with the Sport/Premium Package.

Did anybody ever find the breakdown of 2008's sedan vs GT's?

did anyone get a final breakdown of the G8s by color, option package and roof/no roof?

mine: stryker blue GT, premium, sport, roof.

I called Pontiac about this a few months ago and they said those numbers wouldn't be available until 2010.

Did anybody ever find the breakdown of 2008's sedan vs GT's?

Well...

According to GM, there were a total of 12,045 Pontiac G8s produced for the 2008 model year. The Pontiac G8 V6 sedan accounted for 5,902 of total G8 production and the G8 GT accounted for 6,143 of total production. For those of you who are wondering, that’s a 49% / 51% split between the two G8 trim lines respectively.

So, without further adieu, here is the official breakdown of 2008 Pontiac G8 production by color:

Panther Black (80U): 28.8% / 3,469
Liquid Red (62U): 20.1% / 2,421
Magnetic Gray (18U): 20.0% / 2,409
White Hot (11U): 18.4% / 2,216
Ignition Orange (77U): 7.7% / 927
Stealth Blue (25U): 4.9% / 590

Can you tell I'm a bit partial to Liquid Red? :)

did anyone get a final breakdown of the G8s by color, option package and roof/no roof?

I called Pontiac about this a few months ago and they said those numbers wouldn't be available until 2010.

I look forward to this follow up as I would like to know how many LR GT, Sport, Premium & Roofs there were in 2008.

If I had an 08 I would call up Pontiac Customer Service and start an inquiry into the exactly how many with my options were made. I have an 09.5 and they told me those numbers wouldn't be available till 2010. So odds are if you have an 08 you could probably get a more specific breakdown in terms of options if you called and put in an official inquiry. Just an educated guess.

Even tho i got the most popular GXP color, it still kinda makes me want to park mine, but i cant give it up - its an effing mint drug to take repeatedly.

I wish i held out for the Stryker Blue tho... oh well. When I hit lotto... :lol:

I've got a question on my 09 SRM GT. The total numbers posted by Sellers are for VIN's
2EC69 correct? My Vin is 2EC57. What is that telling me?? I'm new to this as you can tell
but I have found out quite a bit about my vehicle that wasn't disclosed to me at time of purchase. It had no manf. sticker on door post/door etc. It suddenly appearred after about my third trip in for "due Bill" work but I had mentioned it on my 1st trip in with nobody having a clue. Anyway it says manf. 05/08. On my VIS it says 07/08. Mind you I purchased this vehicle on 8/20/09. I've been in going in circles with guys for almost 3 months. the GM of this dealership wouldn't speak to me until I camped out in front of his office door. I have now since filed a complaint with GM. I will now file an investigation into these guys with the CA DMV. An owner from another dealership said that GM can't
make him or the owner of any dealership do jack sh***t. He did say I was definately in
the right but to see any action is to sick thee Motor Vehicles Dept. on them and when they investigate the may try to take their licence depending if they've had other problems. Oh yeah still no bluetooth. Sorry to babble here but can anyone help on the
2EC57 and the 2EC69 portion of my VIN???
Thanks.

Dude, you are all worked up over nothing. I have a 2009 GT made in 06/08. The 2EC69 is the model number of the car, and is NOT part of the VIN#. ALL G8 GT's VIN numbers start with 6G2EC57. My car doesn't have BT either, only 2009.5's had it. The VIS date is likely the date the car was delivered to the dealer and put in the system.

I don't think there is anything mysterious or suspicious about your car. You got the real deal, now go enjoy it and stop hounding the dealer before the loony bin comes looking for you :)

Well how bout you find out three weeks after you purchase your "NEW"
GT and you find out 3 weeks later that a year of your warranty was already used up. Never revealed at time of purchase. Then you find out it
went straight to GM wich used it at shows and photo shoots. How bout then you find out GM sent it out to pasture in the hot assed desert where it sat for a year baking. That might explain why when I got home and opened my users manual why the pages all fell out because all the glue had melted away from the spine. How bought the only had one key to give me and no glovebox key. How bout them haveing to, I'm assuming, had to break in to vehicle to get the only key. Drivers and passenger doors scraped all around door and body. Then they had to put a new battery in
so they could now get it to my dealer. Backup On-star battery dead. You think it was ever started once it reached this lot? I doubt it. No fluids flowing for a Year?? Now I know how electronics love the heat so how bout all the lights in the center dash and console starting to go on and off
whenever they feel like it and I have to stop the engine for around 15 minutes and then restart to clear this. What's next Dude??? Would you have purchased this particular vehicle had this info been disclosed to you
as it should have been??? Three months ago I still had options and now I don't. How come every other dealership I talked to (4) were all able to tell me this stuff and mine just scratched their A** and said We can't find any records. We'll look into it. Oh the GM Rep hasn't got back to us yet. Oh now the GM rep is on vacation. Once the GM replied back to my e-mail he
said "If you're that unhappy with the vehicle bring it back and we'll unwind the deal". I'm sure he would. He would have me off their A** and could still sell it for more than what I paid. And I would have nothing to buy now.
Dude I stayed nice for seven weeks and six days so now ****EM. I won't allow them to sc*** me over without at least a fight. When I have 4 dealerships and an owner of looking at my contract and pulling the info on my G8 all telling me that they could not have sold that vehicle as NEW I kinda gotta think my dealership messed up and didn't know what to do once I found out. Heh I hear the looney bin is kinda cool actually.
Anyway thanks for the VIN info and I love the G8 GT. Just maybe not this one so much. :whine: EllTee :pir_flag:
By the way how would you be handling this situation had it been your car?

Well how bout you find out three weeks after you purchase your "NEW"
GT and you find out 3 weeks later that a year of your warranty was already used up. Never revealed at time of purchase. Then you find out it
went straight to GM wich used it at shows and photo shoots. How bout then you find out GM sent it out to pasture in the hot assed desert where it sat for a year baking. That might explain why when I got home and opened my users manual why the pages all fell out because all the glue had melted away from the spine. How bought the only had one key to give me and no glovebox key. How bout them haveing to, I'm assuming, had to break in to vehicle to get the only key. Drivers and passenger doors scraped all around door and body. Then they had to put a new battery in
so they could now get it to my dealer. Backup On-star battery dead. You think it was ever started once it reached this lot? I doubt it. No fluids flowing for a Year?? Now I know how electronics love the heat so how bout all the lights in the center dash and console starting to go on and off
whenever they feel like it and I have to stop the engine for around 15 minutes and then restart to clear this. What's next Dude??? Would you have purchased this particular vehicle had this info been disclosed to you
as it should have been??? Three months ago I still had options and now I don't. How come every other dealership I talked to (4) were all able to tell me this stuff and mine just scratched their A** and said We can't find any records. We'll look into it. Oh the GM Rep hasn't got back to us yet. Oh now the GM rep is on vacation. Once the GM replied back to my e-mail he
said "If you're that unhappy with the vehicle bring it back and we'll unwind the deal". I'm sure he would. He would have me off their A** and could still sell it for more than what I paid. And I would have nothing to buy now.
Dude I stayed nice for seven weeks and six days so now ****EM. I won't allow them to sc*** me over without at least a fight. When I have 4 dealerships and an owner of looking at my contract and pulling the info on my G8 all telling me that they could not have sold that vehicle as NEW I kinda gotta think my dealership messed up and didn't know what to do once I found out. Heh I hear the looney bin is kinda cool actually.

If they're willing to unwind the deal and you can get all/most of your money back I would do it. I don't know what the "new" G8 situation is in your immediate area, but there are new G8's out there that didn't go through the hell your G8 went through.

Heh Indy,
Yeah I'm not ure what I'm going to do yet. GM customer ?? in Austin TX. is looking into it now. I'm sure they can't or won't do much. I would have to go higher than that. I'm not real sure how an un-wind works and I'm certainly not going to believe what this dealership will tell me. I purchased an extended warranty as well that's already wrapped with the financing. I've made 3 payments and have excellent credit. A Chevy dealer told me an unwind is the last thing I want do because after the 1st payment is made, the dealer is paid in full by the bank. So then the bank sees this as all negative thus messing with my credit. I need to check all this out because I really know zip about this. I have another ace in the hole however. The Finance Mgr. left a voice msg. for me the following day basically telling me I would be recieving a call from so and so from Wachovia bank and tell her I made xxx amount of $$ and my wife made whatever he said. What he was telling me to do was lie to her. I never filled out a credit app. I retired 2 yrs. ago and I had to pick an amount per month to live on as did my wife and you can't change that till 5 yrs. or 60 1/2 whichever is longer. I've got 4 yrs. to go. I had other sources to tap into if needed but all I was asked is what did I make a month. I didn't lie.
Not to either one. On the G8 front in Ca. I could find 0 GXP's. 2 GT's and a few plain G8's as of about 5 days ago. Tomorrow I go back to the Svc. Dept. and they are going to try and get the go=ahead to install factory BT. I have a ticket open with On Star who says yes but they have to get
GM's Tech Support to buy in. Also Austin TX is supposed to call me as well. At least I made them put BT on the 'DUE BILL'. All of this crap happened b4 I found this site. With the history I know now of this vehicle all I see is problems down the road... hell right now with all the center dash and console lights losing power, then back all in a random on off situation. It's intermittent also which makes it harder to find.
Anyway thanks for your input. :bs:

Sorry to come in here late, but a GM buyback should be in your future. If you want some help, drop me a PM. My first 2004 GTO was a "lemon" and, after much gnashing of teeth and yelling and screaming (sometimes literally), GM agreed to buy the car back...

Thanks Robert,
Just read your reply. Will do fellow Cheesehead.

Thanks to Sellers Auto Sport for the good info.

12045 + 26404 = exclusive by any stretch for all of the US and Canada I'd say......however I thought there were more than that finally produced am I wrong on the total number?

I have what I think is a rare GXP. I bought it new in July 2009. It is a toy and will never see snow or rain. Here is the deal, it is Panther black, with sunroof, AND onyx/red interior. 2000 miles. I have been told the interior with this combo is the kicker. Any help????

Post some pics of yours and we'll be sure to help! :wink2:

Sounds like a nice combo.

Sounds rare to me- nice combo, too !

Well what about those of us GT guys that can wave at the GXP owners ... in the rear view mirror ? :wink2: (let the beatings begin)

Sounds nice, but my GXP isn't stock either. And with very low miles 10 years from now, I wonder which will be worth more when it goes across at the Mecum auction? There are very few of mine....

:judge:Hey Nick you need at least 3 post to talk smack, lol.:judge:

In ten years I doubt neither will be worth much more than they're worth now. There will still be too many available on the open market. You'll have to look quite a bit further down the road to when parts and body panels get scarce and the majority of them have been wrecked or are so far gone they aren't worth anything. I have a feeling once parts start drying up in the US they'll still be around for quite some time in AU.

Will they ever see Hemi Cuda, 427 Cobra, or Superbird status ? Never. I'd be surprised if they ever reach the status of any of the Yenko cars. But stranger things have happened. :) Just my two cents.

At least we have them and they are all gone! Enjoy!!!

All I know is I will have one, and unless some idiot hits me it will be perfect! Let's just enjoy them now, because the day is coming where NOTHING like them will be around.

Agreed 100%. I've seen too many already that have been totaled, cut in half for parts, caught on fire, etc. It makes me cringe every time I see something like that.

They may be gone because of wrecks, but I was saying they would be gone because of Obama, and all the cr-- about global warming s--- which does not exist. I just think we have something really rare, The GXP IS THE MOST POWERFUL PRODUCTION PONTIAC EVER BUILT, and that is what counts, when there are only 1826 of them and it is the ONLY year that they are produced, and when you have one of only 43, I think that pretty much takes care of ALL of the arguments.

A yard here in MI bought some at auction and are cutting them up for parts sales... One of the G8 GTs has 1 mile on it....what a shame....

What are you talking about? Nobody would do that when they can sell them, that makes no sense...

What are you talking about? Nobody would do that when they can sell them, that makes no sense...

Are you serious? Clearly you don't know how yards work?

They often pick up cars that have not sold from dealer auctions, some new, some very low miles etc just for parts just like they buy wrecks at auction.

Hot cars mean quick easy cash to a yard!

They can pay very little for cars and cut them up for profit.

I've seen it done with Corvettes, GTOs [04-06], a few G8s, CTS-Vs, Mustangs, Chargers etc and a host of others!

Business is business. If they can make a great profit on a car they pick up - what do they care?

I bought parts off of a yard with a Saab 92x [as I used to own one] - the car had under 500 miles and wasn't a wreck, it was an auction purchase.

Must be some pretty stupid dealers out there...

I really don't give a S___ about how "yards" work. So clearly I don't care.

Plus A Saab? are you kidding me? I don't trust anything with a pea shooter for a tail pipe.

Well you're a Happy fellow aren't you. :attachment: No need for hostility.

Sorry, I was wrong. Do you accept? I just am not knowledgeable on yards. I have never heard of new cars like these ending up at a salvage yard. By the way, my GXP is getting supercharged, cat delete, headers + exhaust and computer tuned trans, etc. What was it Astro said? Wrot Row!!!!

Just seems like you went off the deep end with your triple posts that all seemed to be quite hostile. Others were answering questions that were posed relative to the thread topic, no need to get your panties in a bunch over it!

I saw an entire front clip on ebay from a red G8 a few weeks ago, I wonder where that wound up. iirc it was a battery fire that took out the entire interior and rearwards, the front clip was the only salvageable part!

Must have been the wrong time of the month for the wife....or me, give me a second chance, I am sorry....will you take me back? I read your post about the fire. If it was a battery fire, the car burned from the back to the front- if it was a GXP, as the battery is in the trunk. I don't know where it is in a regular G8. Have a great day!!!!

The battery is in the trunk on all models. He said the only thing salvageable was the front clip, he didn't say the fire started there.

Ok, Zepcom said it was a battery fire, that means the fire went from the back to the front, so the only thing left would be the front clip. Please get off my ass, I said I am sorry, OK?

Why can't we all just get along?

I've been watching this thread for a while now and we still don't have an answer to a question that has been constantly asked:

Will we ever have a detailed break-down of production numbers with options? Sellers? Anyone?

I've been watching this thread for a while now and we still don't have an answer to a question that has been constantly asked:

Will we ever have a detailed break-down of production numbers with options? Sellers? Anyone?


And how about a complete breakdown for the '08's??

YES!!!!! On this we can agree, can we get ALL breakdowns? I have an interest in this and have in fact contacted Pontiac and one other source. I have got replies, I am not a computer guy, hell I can barely use this!!! So I will write down what I have and submit it on this site, I don't know how else to do it. This will happen next week as I am tied up this weekend. Enjoy the Superbowl, win some money$$$$$$$$

I have actually talked to a human at Pontiac, and I got just what you would expect, an answer so vague it is worthless.... All they could give me was a total production run of all G8's. It does all of us no good, as there is no breakdown at all. Thanks for nothing........... I can not believe they have no idea of what they made.... does anyone feel the same way??? WE WANT THE NUMBERS!!!!!! For whatever it is worth, the total production run was almost 30,000 I didn't even write it down, All I know is there were about 1826 GXP's.

So I guess this includes both 2009 and 2009.5 models?

EDIT: What a minute, 1829 for the GXP? I thought this whole time it was 1828???
Wonder how many PBM G8 GXP with 6 speed?

Your answer comes from Car and Driver Mag. 1826 GXP's made it to our shores, about 800 were manuals. Go to Car and Driver auto reviews, go to 2009 G8 GXP Automatic-Short Take Road Test-Auto Reviews-Car and Driver, and read away....Also it really does look like there are only 43 GXP's in Panther Black with Onyx/Red interior, with sunroof- like the one in my garage!!!! All of us that have a G8 GXP were way ahead of the game, Hold on to them, they will be worth alot in the future...Drive them on Sunday...20 miles!

So how do you know what production number your car is. I'm sure it's been asked but I new here. Thanks

I don't know the actual production number, but I do know there were 1826 GXP's per Car and Driver, see previous post. Joe Morgan is doing a breakdown and he agrees with me that there were probably 42 or 43 Panther black with onyx/red interior with sunroof. GM says it is too early to come up with all of the actual production versions, so we will wait awhile for those. If you have a GXP, hold on to it, there will never be any more, and it is the most powerful, best handling Pontiac ever built.

I have a Maverick silver GT. Obviously there will be no more Pontiacs period, whether it's a GT or GXP. I know they only made 2018 of the 09 Maverick Silver GT's, the funny thing is that I saw 3 of them today.

I have a PBM with a 6-speed no other mods (yet!).

I have no idea about where it fits in the production run, but I'm going to look at the numbers to see if there is a clue somewhere.

I *think* only 447 PMB, less than 200 of them with the 6-speed

So how do you know what production number your car is. I'm sure it's been asked but I new here. Thanks

Only Holden knows that information and it's pretty unlikely that you'll ever be able to find out, that, say, your White Hot GT was the 453rd built for the 2009 model year. Holden does build in VIN sequence, but your VIN might be a G8 GT, the next one might be a Commodore SS-V, the next one might be a Lumina SS for the Middle East, the next one might be a Ute, the next one might be a Calais...

I don't know the actual production number, but I do know there were 1826 GXP's per Car and Driver, see previous post.

I've seen 1829 and 1828. I know Sellers had one that was not saleable (was in pieces, not sure what happened to it) and that a couple of them have been totaled/parted out (one accident, one flooded).

I have no idea about where it fits in the production run, but I'm going to look at the numbers to see if there is a clue somewhere.

Again, you're not going to be able to find that out unless you have access to Holden's production systems. Your dealer cannot find out this information - the GMVIS system that they use has a "build date" but that's NOT the date your car was built, that's the day your car was processed through the port in Benecia, CA (5 or more weeks after being built - yes, it took that long for the boats to get here).

I'd personally love to know the dates/shifts my G8's and GTO were built, and what ship they were transported on (see if there was anything in common)...

There were 6,222 PBM G8's, or so, The kicker is GXP's 2009, with Onyx/Red and Sunroof. There has not ever one come up for sale.

According to the chart, there were 471 PBM GXPs. The 6222 number is misleading, since he was asking about only the GXPs with and not all G8's


Was the orange GXP given a VIN number, and what ever happened to it?

I know when i first saw that one at the NYIAS i wanted that color... but it never was offered :mad:

The number is 471 GXP's, PBM/Onyx/Red/Sunroof, 6,222 is the G8 # total . The big deal is G8 GXP with Onxy/Red interior AND sunroof, That total of these is 42, or 43, until proven different. That would make these very rare.

OOPS, The # of GXP's,PBM, is 471, with Onxy/Red and sunroof is 42 or 43....

There were 6,222 PBM G8's, or so, The kicker is GXP's 2009, with Onyx/Red and Sunroof. There has not ever one come up for sale.

There is one here in MI that is a private sale - PBM, red, M6 with sunroof for $38k.

1829 GXPs left the factory. Thats all that matters - ones in pieces, wrecks etc all count in that 1829.

My GXP is WH M6 Onyx Sunroof Bluetooth. I am original owner and last digits of VIN are 17248.

My GXP is WH M6 Onyx Sunroof Bluetooth. I am original owner and last digits of VIN are 17248.

Thank you for including all of your stats. I have added you to the Registry now. I had not been including VINs but at some point I am going to go back and update those, so thanks for sharing! You have now put WH M6 Onyx Sunroof as the most common combination that I have verified so far, with 30 cars total. My statistical projections indicate that there will likely be about 92 of them built total.

I own #318715 PBM Onyx/Red with Sunroof. We think about 43 made in this set-up.

What interior? Onyx or Onyx/Red? I have Onyx/Red, we think there are 43, do you have one?

I know when i first saw that one at the NYIAS i wanted that color... but it never was offered :mad:

Does yours have Onyx/Red interior?

No, mine is straight black, and i had to wait longer for that combo... I was called twice before mine came in last march, asking if i wanted to get the GXP with the red inserts... which i didnt. Not sure why it took longer to get a solid color/interior combo...

Wow, so I have one of the MY 2009 1,063 Pacific Slate GT's built....

Time to park it?

Wow, so I have one of the MY 2009 1,063 Pacific Slate GT's built....

Time to park it?

Yes. I'll park it for you. Don't you worry. We can drive backwards to reverse the mileage. <Reference: Ferris Bueller's day off, Ferrari>

I know for me, I didn't buy a 30k car to keep it as something that I can never enjoy. Mine is my daily driver. If you're looking into something to invest in, cars more often than not do not appreciate as much as you would think.

I agree...I guess I need to find a '09 Pacific Slate GXP (47 built) and park it where I keep my 1977 Ferrari 308GTB 28K original miles and one of the first built in the Steel body in lieu of F/G....Any body want to buy a Ferrari...letting it go cheap $ 25K USD

So, by the numbers, there were a total of 5467 MGM G8's built. Take way the 78 GXP's as there are none here localy and that leaves 5389 total MGM G8's around.

So why in the hell is there 6 MGM G8's in my town alone? Didn't anyone else get any?

By best guess though, my '08 MGM V6 is 1 of about 1100. It would be nice to see the total breakdown on everything and options.

2420 white hot g8 gts made/ is there away of finding out how many of those made it to Canada?

Also has anyone got the update list of color an options?..

Why spend all that money and not go anywhere? I don't understand. I have one of 43 GXPs, I added supercharger, headers, cat delete,and computer tune. Kept the rear exhaust tips. Looks 100% stock. BUT I went from 415HP to 550HP. SLEEPER!!!

I contacted GM to get a production break down for all available colors, options/trims/packages. They got back to me and said they do not have that information and told me that options are basically assigned to cars at random, and they only have numbers for cars that are ordered specifically for a customer who wanted certain options. I find that hard to believe but hey it is what it is. Considering how many possible combinations you can have with the GT's alone, roof or no roof, 19's, 18's, summer only, premium package, so on and so on it would have been nice to know how unique your cars is.

Someone, somewhere has the build sheets. Someone has the data on what they were when they left the factory or port or whatever. If they don't have this data, they deserve to go out of business.

I think they are feeding you/us a crock of _ _ _ _! I say that because I found this on ls1gto.com. Its a complete breakdown of the 2005 GTO by color, interior, trans, etc. If GM has this info then they have the info that we all want as well. Again, these numbers are for 2005 GTOs.

^Seeing those numbers pisses me off even more...

Yeah, they'll give us oil changes for a year, but run a report? oh no... we can't do that! Odd to say the least.

I wonder if contacting Holden would be the best bet?

I wonder if contacting Holden would be the best bet?

One would think that maybe one of the Australian vendors on this site or the "other site"... the ones that actually have contact with Holden, would be willing to check this out for us.:rolleyes: Granted Sellers Auto got the color breakdowns, they may be limited to what info they can get (I'm hoping that is the case being that the thread that they created is as big as it is with no recent responce from them).

Thats the thing that tells me GM is flat out lying to us if they are saying they dont have production info. How can Sellers get info about the color breakdown but no other info is available? Hmmm I guess somebody said "Lets keep track of how many of each color and what kind of color is produced but that's it. We dont need to know anything else about the production of these cars." What a joke. Please GM dont insult our intelligence. Just tell us that you have records of anything and everything we would want to know about the Pontiac G8 GXP but cant release that info to the general public. Any company worth its salt would keep such records. Once again we dont want your free oil changes we want your credibility.... Does anyone here think that this talk will get back to GM? I'm still a GM guy but certain things about the company sure makes you shake your head.

By the way did anyone see how proud GM is that they paid there loan back to us. I got my Email from them. Paid back a full 5 years sooner then expected. Maybe they cut out the production record keeping department in their cost cutting measures?

Maybe they cut out the production record keeping department in their cost cutting measures?

No, they just cut production period. Obviously I have an issue with the death of Pontiac. :(

I'd be willing to bet that the Camaro guys get all of their stats. I lurk at camaro5.com a lot and the GM and dealer interaction over there is amazing. Yet, all we hear are crickets when we request information. But remember GM still loves you... "come check out the new Buicks when your ready to step out of that Pontiac". Gee, thanks.

Yea, WTF OVER???? I've got the whole production run of the Solstice COUPE. Every one listed in Vin order. GXP or not GXP, auto or man., color,
build date, Country delivered to, GM USE, GM Special use vehicle, etc. I know who got first vehicle off line vin xxxxxxxxxx0001. I've been in talks with Dealership :bs:, GM Texas which did one thing for me. I thanked them and then said Please put in you're notes that I am not done and I will go higher. That can't be done I was told. THEY were my last stop. I said I'm not stupid, everyone has a boss including the CEO. Anyway I've been in talks with GM Corporate for awile now along with Top guy of the Holding Group who manages all the whatevers that the owner owns. my first couple of posts on this board were about this subject and a couple people basicaly told me to quit whining, I didn't get xxxxxxx, and enjoy my car. I stopped whining here, They did xxxxx me and I am enjoying my car.
It's been 81/2 months now and they're all talking to me now. The bottom line here in my humble opinion is that Corporate can get or not get anything done at their choosing. I'll talk about particilars when things are done. The guy in corporate that is handling my case is going crazy trying to get me a breakdown of our cars like the one I have above on the very limited run on the Soltice 'Coupe.' I'm not holding my breath though. :bootyshake:

I have a Holden contact and have wanted to bug her about this (also looking for details like first G8 build date and VIN number, last G8 build date and VIN number, et. al.).

I'll let you know if she can get that info to me.

The people who provided that info to LS1GTO worked for Pontiac. I'm not sure there are any more "Pontiac" employees at GM, since the brand is pretty much dead...

I wonder if PHS would be able to help out?

Well, I won't say that you are whinning and I appriciate any effort that anybody puts into finding out this information and I'm sure a lot of folks do as well. I guess the thing that irks me the most is we aren't asking for an astronomical amount of info. The G8 had what, 3 styles and 4 major option packages (base, sport, primium, sunroof)? This isn't a Silverado that can be configured in 100+ different ways.

Heck, I wasn't aware that we don't even know whent the last G8 rolled off of the line or the VIN.

Again, thanks to everyone who has tried in the past and for everyone who is still to trying to get these numbers.

It would be nice to really know how many of each of the possibilities, but one thing is for sure, 1826 GXP's. RARE!!!! The big Goat convention is in Wichita Ks this year, and my G8 GXP will be there. One of 43. I called them and they said hell yes bring it!!!!!!

I don't think you've mentioned it near enough that you have one of 43 or that there were 1,826 produced.

Do you have pics of the blower installed ??

I like the fact that we have one of the only 968 Liquid Red V6s.
Sunroof package. Upgraded larger stereo screen. Not sure what else. Someone at the dealer stole the manual so not sure what all was standard and what upgrade. Getting a new manual ordered.

Is also interesting to note that the V6 had a smaller production number than the GT.
Obviously the GXP is lower so will be more sought out and prized. But what would that do for the V6 as compared to the GT seeing as the V6 was a lower production number ?

Just something to make me go Hmmmmm????

Yes, but unfortunately I am 56 and not really good with a computer, so I have no idea how to post pictures, if I did they would have been on here long ago. If I could squish my car into a little bitty picture I would. Sorry, that I know the right people to get the cars I want, I had two T-Bird Super Coupes from Ford before this that were factory hot rods. It is who you know..... The last one was a 40th anniv Super Coupe, 1995, (they didn't make any), but I had one. And yes I have the Pics. somebody in Chicago has it now.

...and just to throw some fuel onto this fire..

Here is a breakdown for the 2010 camaro from the Camaro5 site. Granted it isn't as detailed as it could be(interior colors, etc.), but the point is GM obviously can get the info we want.

Hey I live out side San Antonio and thinking about changing my exhaust.

What have you done to yours? I have a Panther Black Metalic I got a month ago with 2800 miles on it and just live the car but would like a bit more rumble out of the exhaust.

Thanks

Curtis,

You may want to browse via the black "menubar" at the top of the screen where it says "forum" and pose your question within one of the more appropriate forum titles, such as exhaust threads (http://www.g8board.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=116). That way, people that are surfing for exhaust stories or questions can better assist you!

PS -- Welcome to the board!

to me those numbers are shocking as I would of thought Red would of outsold anything...Considering every video i.e test drive or review 9 times out of 10 had a red car every promotional g8 ad used the red car they really pushed it...

im glad i got the blue base one . rarest of the colors....

I was very surprised to see that around twice as many GTs were made as base ones! Goes to show you how "thrifty" we Canadians are, as all you see around here are base cars - TONS of them for sale. There's a Stryker Blue V6 for sale not far from me, and it looks cool but now it's even cooler knowing it's one of only 423! Hmm... if only I needed a second (okay, fourth) car :D

how can i tell the # my car is in production

The last 6 digits of your VIN is your production number. 3xxx are 2009.5's.

I know alot of you have been waiting for this data; so have we as many of us here own G8's! We are also working to get you guys and gals data broken out by Transmission/Roof/Interior Color/Tires for the GXP's as well as that will be what people really look for in the future as these undoubtedly become a collectable as the last and most Powerful Pontiac.

The good news is Sellers and Sellers Auto Sport will be around to help you guys keep these vehicles in tip-top shape as well as make them faster for many more years to come!

http://sellersautosport.com/images/G8/g8production.jpg
anyway to get actual breakdowns of G8's with different packages? IE G8 Stryker Blue Sedan (V6) Premium Sound, Sunroof, Dual Zone Climate, Premium sound. etc...?

Something is wrong with your post, I think. I am very interested in getting actual breakdown, but something is missing in your post, please look at it and advise...

all looks good on my end. I was just asking if their is a database on how to get the actual breakdown, and quoted the original post with the numbers spreadsheet.

OK, I reread it and I got it, sorry... I am interested in the breakdowns because I think I have a rare one, I know it is a late one, just trying to find out for sure how many Panther Black/Sun Roof/Black-Onyx ones are out there. By the way, I am up to 3500 miles! Garage Queen!

Great stats. Thanks for sharing!

Not trying to stir anything but if you look at the percentages the Panther black car is the highest produced regardless of the package. The Peeps with the Pacific Slate and Stryker Blue GXP's have got rare cars, then if you find one of those that has the roof and such you would really narrow it down.

I think mine is #1509 in Panther Black.

I just had the Kooks LT installed two weeks ago and they are great.

Hello,Im new at this ,Help me out guys ,My 09 g8 gt has heated two tone leather seats,sun roof ,no navigation ,in what category it falls on?Thanx....

No problem. I have one of the last ones, and it looks like they started throwing stuff in. Try to find a Panther black with Onyx/Red seats and sunroof. I have never seen one for sale on the internet. It really is rare, and I still have less than 4000 miles on it.

There you go, a rare one!

I figured that I would pop in and share some details we discovered researching the GXPs. Even though there are only 1,829 of them, it was no small undertaking, and took over two years with the help of many people. In addition we confirmed a small discrepancy from the Sellers numbers. We have VINs and confirmation of 171 SRM GXPs, which is 2 more than Sellers listed.

In tracking GXPs we discovered that 80.26% have a sunroof, and 19.74% do not. I would think that might carry over approximately to Base & GT models as well. In addition 68.64% of the GXPs came with Onyx interior, and 31.36% came with onyx/red. I would think this should carry over approximately as well. If you have a two-tone interior and no sunroof, your car will likely be pretty rare.

If someone tackles the task of tracking down production breakdowns on the Base & GT, my hat is off to them. It will be a HUGE undertaking, so GOOD LUCK!

You've done a great job with the GXP stats. I just wish I could get a better breakdown on the 2008's!

Check out posts #47 and 77 of this thread for 2008 breakdowns. Unfortunately, there is no actual breadown between the V6 G8 and the GT. That's the information I would like to see.

Sorry was looking for the totals. Looks like they never were put up cause Pontiac doesn't have the info so they say.

I'd personally think that the percentage without sunroof would increase with decreasing trim level: that is, there would be the most cars made without sunroof in the V6 line (in terms of percentage), then a few more with it in the GT line, and then the most in the GXP line. At least, that would be conventional logic. Then again, I've seen a number of ex-rental V6s with absolutely everything on them, so who knows!

I'd really like to know how many GTs came with cloth: they strike me as the type of car for which most people would have ordered leather.

Would love to know the percentage of ones that came with Red/Black cloth. I've only seen a handful of them.

Wow, I didn't even know red/black cloth was available, I've never heard of that! Can you PM me a picture? But yes, I'd agree that is probably very rare.

The fact being that the G8 is the last of the Pontiac Muscle Car should say enough.
What was ordered with what. What wasnt. What was option, what was standard. No one seems to know. It was all finished at the height of GM possibly being resolved.
Gotta get the hell outta something and save the company.
So we are all left with, No matter the options, The very last of a long standing legacy.
We are all left with a rarity.

Dont think about how many were made/ordered with this. Dont think about how many were made/ordered with that. Think about what you have.
And dont take that and rip it apart so as to turn it into something that people will laugh at.
Keep it true and clean to its heritage. Keep it as it was made to be and represent.
A fine automobile.
Not a boom box on wheels or a false representation of ones self in an attempt to impress others.

Keep it as the classic it is sure to become. Not just pieces of testosterone fueled memorys for scrap parts in a junk yard.
Drive it, run it, dump it, move on.

Everyone wants to add this, add that, tweak this and those. Dont see anything anywhere about doin what it might take to save the car for years to come.

Was lucky, bought number 584 in March 08.

For the 2009 Pontiacs (all models) GM printed two versions of their large (over 100 pages), classy, sales brochure.

1st version printed "July 2008" lists and pictures four interior color combinations available for the G8. The first as shown is "A. Oynx premium cloth seating with red inserts" (it's listed with this footnote "G8GT Model only").
2nd version printed "January 2009" lists and pictures three interior color combinations available. Cloth with red inserts no longer available.
I've not seen a 2008 Pontiac sale's lbrochure, but based on the info in first 2009 brochure, i'd guess the cloth with red inserts would be listed as available for the 08 G8GT. Definitely a rare interior combo!

I have what I think is a rare GXP. I bought it new in July 2009. It is a toy and will never see snow or rain. Here is the deal, it is Panther black, with sunroof, AND onyx/red interior. 2000 miles. I have been told the interior with this combo is the kicker. Any help????

Mine is just like that!

No problem. I have one of the last ones, and it looks like they started throwing stuff in. Try to find a Panther black with Onyx/Red seats and sunroof. I have never seen one for sale on the internet. It really is rare, and I still have less than 4000 miles on it.

Did ya find it in here?

I just saw the thread on the GM Airbag recall and the letter that GM sent to the NHTSA about the issue. Here's a link to the letter:

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/docservlet/Artemis/Public/Recalls/2011/V/RCDNN-11V534-5404.pdf

This letter is interesting to me, because it's the only time I've ever seen anything official from GM on production figures for the 2008/2009 G8's.

The GM numbers are similar to what the "G8Nation" website (now defunct) came up with for the 2008 MY and what Sellers Auto subsequently came up for the 2009 MY.

It appears that all G8s for the 2008/2009 Model years are affected. As such, GM indicates in the letter to NHTSA that a total of 38,444 G8s were produced for the two years as follows:

2008: 12,043 produced from 11/2/2007 to 2/5/2008

2009: 26,401 produced from 5/7/2008 to 1/22/09

Again, these numbers differ slightly from the numbers provided by G8Nation and Sellers Auto. It's just another puzzle piece for those of us interested in more information on G8 production figures. Still looking to get a better breakdown for the 2008 MY--wonder if that will ever happen!

good info thanks for the stats

That's not Sold, that's PRODUCED! 56 SBM GXPs Produced.

[nice signature pic, that's a great angle I'm going to try to capture!]

Thank you so much for the info....knew it was limited production but never knew how limited.
