When it was introduced, the Pontiac Solstice was a nominee for the North American Car of the Year award. It was one of the last models built by the company before it was mothballed, which is a shame because, during its five years of production, this small, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive convertible sports car managed to find its way into the hearts of many. Our featured 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster is reported to be of exceptionally low mileage, with just 37,000 miles on the clock — that’s an average running of just over 2,000 miles per annum. This example features the naturally aspirated 2.4-liter Ecotec engine from General Motors, and puts power to the road via a five-speed manual transmission.
The exterior styling of the 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster is, in many ways, as timeless today as it was at launch. The first two-seater since the Fiero, the Solstice was built on GM’s Kappa platform, which also underpinned the Saturn Sky and Opel GT. It manages to look like a classic roadster, with a long hood and short deck, while incorporating the design language of Pontiac with its unmistakable front grille. You’ll notice large 18-inch Mag chrome five-spoke wheels complete with Pontiac center caps, wrapped in General tires that are reportedly brand new. The interior features black leather upholstery. The multi-function leather-wrapped steering wheel boasts cruise control buttons and audio-control switches. The driver is presented with two deep primary meter binnacles, with a speedometer on the left and a tachometer on the right. The stereo head unit appears to be factory, while the rest of the interior looks in excellent condition, befitting a car of this mileage.
Under the long hood is a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine that is naturally aspirated. The owner reports that all maintance has been kept up to date. Those who love to have an added connection to their sportscars will be pleased to note that this 2006 Pontiac Solstice sends power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

Although Pontiac is no more, we can fondly look back on the brand's greatest hits. While the most prolific is the Firebird/Trans Am, the Solstice is one of their more recent hits. Produced between 2005 and 2010, this two-seat sports car sold 7,000 units within the first ten days of being announced. This was a shock for Pontiac, as they had planned to make 7,000 units for the entire year! The final production figure of the Solstice stood at 65,724 units, once again an impressive volume for a sports car. This 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Convertible is of the higher-performance GXP variant and comes to you with just 26,500 miles on the odometer. Read on to find out why it should be your next toy.
One of the most influential cars of the '60s, the GTO was a slap in the face of corporate America. When General Motors banned their auto divisions from going racing, savvy people like Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean found a way round it. They realized that they could just offer race-ready street-legal machines to customers, who could then, ahem, do as they pleased with them. Enter the GTO, its name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO no less. What better way to enjoy the fruits of their labor than with this first-generation, fully restored 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that we’ve got for sale right here? Step right up folks, here’s your chance to own an American icon.
The Pontiac GTO was born out of sheer grit, a bit of cheekiness, and a desire to circumvent official company rules that seemed ridiculous. By the early 1960s, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from participating in auto racing. This meant that divisions could no longer field machines that could duke it out across America, and fight for who made the fastest car. Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t sell potent, street-legal cars for customers to use to race. This was what John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins came up with. The result was the GTO, with the name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO. The GTO ran for five generations before throwing in the towel by 2006. That makes first and second generation GTOs excellent classic cars that can still burn rubber in anger when desired. This 1968 Pontiac GTO is one such car. This 38,000-mile, numbers-matching machine has been restored, with many mechanical parts replaced as well.
It was a sad day for the world when Pontiac discontinued the Firebird in 2002, after the fourth generation had run its course. Of course, it was even sadder when the Pontiac brand as whole was shelved in 2010. One of America’s most iconic muscle and pony car makers, Pontiac gave us a whole bunch of greats, and the Firebird was arguably their shining star. But don’t despair, because we’ve got a fourth-generation, 59,000-mile 1995 Pontiac Firebird Formula for sale right now. The car is in great condition, and awaits its next owner. But, you’d better act with speed if you want to get your hands on it.
In the ʼ00s, Ford decided to honor its timeless Thunderbird personal luxury car with a retro-modern eleventh generation. Produced for just three short years, this eleventh-generation T-Bird saw over 60,000 units made. Heavily inspired by the first generation from the 1950s, this new T-Bird sat on a modern platform, and used a V8 from Jaguar, of all places. Today, we’ve got a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for those who are intrigued by this pastiche of ʼ50s styling and ʼ00s mechanicals and creature comforts. The car has done only 8,312 miles, making it a real rare find, and a definitive future classic.
Here’s an interesting little curio that you won’t easily find in North America. A meticulously-restored 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet. This 168,800-mile car is basically a drop-top first generation Volkswagen Golf. The Mark I or first generation Golf saw a long production run, with the Cabriolet running well into 1993. Plus, the Mark I Golf is considered to be one of the icons of the ʼ80s; a fine-driving hot hatchback that can put a smile on anyone’s face. That’s why whoever chooses to pick up this 1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet is definitely going to be very happy. Is that you, then? Call us if it is.
In 1955, the Ford Thunderbird entered the American luxury car market and shook it up. Aimed at bringing Americans a taste of the European Grand Touring experience, the Thunderbird was called the Personal Luxury Car. It was a powerful two-seater with a suitably spacious trunk and all the creature comforts of the day. Aimed at covering hundreds of miles with ease, the T-Bird quickly became a cult classic. Ford made ten generations until 1997, but they had a brief change of heart in 2002. Hence, a retro-modern eleventh generation was released, and made until 2005. Just 60,000 were sold, making this generation relatively rare in comparison with the early ones from the Fifties and Sixties. So, if you’ve wanted to try out one of these curios, check out this 4,475-mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now with us.
