Up for sale is my 2005 QSM M6 GTO located in Northern Indiana (Elkhart). I apologize ahead of time for the novel, but I want to provide as much information as possible to the future owner. I have owned this car for a little over two years now and I have loved every minute. I get compliments everywhere I go about how it sounds. The reason I’m selling is to upgrade to a Z06. The car currently has 63,381 miles and won’t increase much, if any. I bought this car because it was well taken care of, documented, and has been owned by people who take care of their cars. I hope the next owner will do the same. This car is in excellent shape (especially for the miles), and has been meticulously maintained. It’s never seen snow and only rain a few occasions. During the summer months I’m always going to car shows with it so it’s cleaned up weekly. Washed w/Adam’s products, vacuumed, and interior cleaned weekly and leather conditioned and cleaned monthly. I have always used Mobil 1 5w30 full synthetic for oil changes, as did the owner before me. The last oil was done at the current mileage (last weekend). Along with the oil change I put the car up on jack stands and cleaned the engine bay, wheel wells, suspension, rims (inside and out), washed and waxed the car. The car has not been driven since so it’s ready for the new owner. It has never been in an accident under my ownership and I have an AutoCheck that shows it has not been in any previous accidents. The VIN is 6G2VX12U95L388107 if anyone else would like the check it. 

The car has never seen the track under my watch and the previous owners have said the same. I’ve always been curious to see what it’d run but I didn’t want to beat on the car honestly and a pass is worthless without a set of drag radials, which I do not have. 

I bought this car the way it sits now with everything done to it and have not changed anything. It’s a great car, reliable, and has always satisfied me; therefore I have not changed anything. I have the receipts for most all of the work and parts that the previous owners have purchased in a folder which also includes dyno graphs. As you will see, well over $9k has been spent on upgrading the car. I decided to list it for $17,500. Below is a list of the modifications that have been done and I think you will see that it has been fitted with some of the best parts. 

-Fast 92mm Intake Manifold
-Comp Cams 228/238 .600/.613 LS 111 and supporting goodies (PAC 1218 Springs)
-Car Dyno-Tuned by BEHE Performance in MD and it put down 432hp/422tq
-Kooks SS 1 3/4 ” Long Tube Headers
-Kooks SS off Road Mids
-H-Pipe
-Flowmaster 40 Series Mufflers
-K&N CAI
-180deg Thermostat
-Hydrodipped Carbon Fiber FRC’s
-LS7 Clutch Kit (Installed at 52K and included new slave cylinder and pilot bearing. Clutch installation included the proper shimming and it was topped off with ATE Dot 4 Superblue Racing Brake Fluid, and included a transmission fluid flush while the car was lifted)
-Non-Sponsor SS Clutch Lines with remote bleeder
-ARP Pressure Plate and Flywheel Bolts
-Pedders Front Coil Springs (3/8” Drop)
-Pedders Urethane Swaybar Link Bushings
-Pedders Strut Bearings
-Pedders Strut Mounts
-Pedders Comfort Gas Sealed Struts with VRD Technology
-Scarallo-ROH DR2 wheels (Staggered setup 18x9.5 in rear, 18x8.5 in front)
-Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports all around (245/40/18 on the front, 275/35/18 on the rear). Note: The rears are down to the wear bar. I will replace the rears for the new owner. I have held off on replacing them because I planned to let the new owner pick what tire they wanted on the rear. Tell me what tire you want and they will be on the rear when you arrive.
-Tint 35% on sides and rear window using FormulaOne Pinnacle Series (their top of the line $200 tint job.)
-SCSS Gauge Pod (Oil pressure and battery voltage). The gauges do not have the GTO emblem and the needle lights up red rather than white, in case it bothers you. Note: There is a grounding problem with the oil pressure gauge and I haven’t traced the problem yet, apparently grounding those things have bitten many people before and I just haven’t put forth the effort to get it all figure out. The battery voltage gauge works perfectly. You’ll also notice the previous owner failed to cut the centerpiece correctly on the pod (thus it rises up a little in the middle). 
-Lloyd’s custom floor mats (black and great condition).
-Kenwood Excelon DOX8017 DVD Player with iPod connection in center console
-6000K HID Head and Fog Lights
-06 Tail Lights
-New Duralast Gold Battery (05/06/14)

Some minor fixes include:
-Gas pedal sensor replaced since it threw a code.
-New drivers side window tint due to the old one having a scratch in it.
-New QSM OEM certified spoiler since the old one had various scratches.
-New rear license plate bumper piece has been replaced since the old one had a deep scratch also.
-The ignition cylinder mod has been done.
-The rear passenger seat has been re-sewed since it came loose like usual. 
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head for now.

Lastly, I’ll list the “problems” with the car. The front bumper and very front of the hood has some small rock ding/chips on them as to be expected from 63k miles of driving. I have touched up most of the areas using Automotive Touchup’s QSM paint and a gloss clear coat, but obviously it doesn’t look perfect. Also the previous owner had a front license plate. I did not prefer to have one so I took the bracket off and that resulted in having 5 holes in the front bumper. I filled them with QSM painted bumper plugs and have left them since. The double din dash plastic piece has a crack/hole in it, I just never got around to getting and installing a new one, and these are fairly cheap, as most people know. The drivers seat has minimal wear, as expected from one with this many miles. The passenger seat back pocket has come loose. It is visibly fine, but if one were to pull on it or use it the one side would pop out. The driver’s side rubber door sill has a crack along it (hasn’t affected anything, just bothers me so I want to pass it along). Lastly, the rear drivers side wheel has very light wear around the outside edge of the rim, but it isn’t really noticeable until you get down low and get a close look at it. Most of these things aren’t noticeable unless you’re up close and looking for them, but its obviously info worth passing along. 

I paid cash for the car so the loan is in my name and possession. Looking for $17,500 cash as stated and no trades. If I think of anything else I’ll add it to the sale listing. I’ve listed everything to the best of knowledge as I know there is great potential that someone will have to travel to pick this car up without fully getting to inspect it before spending the money to get here, as did I when I drove from Indiana to Alabama. I will take more pictures for interested parties upon request.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package

Sun, Dec 22 2019

Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
