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: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Tue, Jun 19 2018For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
