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. |

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
