W40 , 40 anniversarry package

Aramz06 · 04-07-2008, 03:20 AM

Since I dont know so much about the 04's, this came as a surprise to me. I ran into an article that mentioned " Closing out the 2004 model year was the W40 package. Rumored to be a stillborn 40th anniversary package, it gave the buyer an exclusive paint color called Pulse Red, red GTO embroidery on the seats, and a grey colored gauge cluster. The last 800 2004 GTOs were built with the W40 package. "
I just wanted to mention it incase some people have this package but dont know it. Also, I'd really like to see some pictures of the highlights of this package such as the gauge clusters.

It is true. There were actually 794 Rulse Red W40 edition GTOs produced. It was supposed to be a 40th Anniversary edition, but it was never marketed. The Pulse Red is a very different shade than Torrid, almost a blood red, and it came with red GTO lettering on the seats, and grey faced gauges. There are several tags on the car that identify it as a W40, but they are all production tags and are hidden, like under the seat cushions. There may be some collectability factor years down the road, but, for right now, it's just another GTO, that is, except to it's owner!
