DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

AmeriCredit Corp., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-54546) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 29, 2001 (the “Registration Statement”), by deregistering all of the securities registered on the Registration Statement that have not been sold or otherwise remain unissued (the “Remaining Securities”).

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 17(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 Remaining Securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, if any.
