DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

AmeriCredit Corp., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-90047) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 1999 (the “Registration Statement”) registering 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) for FY2000 Stock Option Plan for AmeriCredit Corp., by deregistering all of the Common Stock registered on the Registration Statement that has not been sold or otherwise remains unissued.

On July 21, 2010, the Company, General Motors Holdings LLC (“GM Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Company, and Goalie Texas Holdco Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Texas corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GM Holdings, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which on October 1, 2010, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GM Holdings (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Company will cease to be a publicly traded company and will terminate all of its offerings of securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement.

In accordance with the undertaking contained in Part II, Item 9(A)(3) of the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to remove from registration all of the Common Stock registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, if any.
