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. |

Burt Reynolds’ former 1978 ‘Smokey’ Pontiac Trans Am in big auction by feds
Mon, Oct 21 2019A 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds as a memento of the car he drove in the film “Smokey and the Bandit” will be among nearly 150 muscle cars and luxury vehicles seized from the alleged perpetrators of an $800 million investment scheme that will hit the auction block this weekend in California. ItÂ’s said to be the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals, seized late last year from Jeff and Paulette Carpoff, the founders of the now-defunct mobile solar generators company DC Solar. Two employees of the San Francisco Bay Area solar energy company, certified public accountant Ronald Roach, 53, and general contractor Joseph Bayliss, 44, both of the Bay Area. pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in what federal prosecutors say was a massive scheme that defrauded investors of $1 billion. Both men agreed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. While the Carpoffs, the company's owners, have not been charged, they agreed to let the government auction their collection of 150 classic, performance and luxury vehicles, including the 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds. The replica of the car the late actor drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and the other vehicles are to be auctioned Saturday, with online bidding already pushing the accumulated value past $5.5 million. Bidding on that Trans Am alone had topped $65,000 by late Tuesday. The auction company said it had been driven less than 3,400 miles. It's the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals Service. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden of the Sacramento office called it "a stunning collection of vehicles" that also includes 1990s Humvees, 1960s-era Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros from several decades, plus older cars including a 1939 Buick Roadmaster, a 1951 Chevy Thriftmaster 3100 pickup truck and a 1941 Plymouth Special Delux with wooden doors and trim. “It is rare for the U.S. Marshals to hold an auction of such a stunning collection of vehicles,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden in Sacramento said in a statement. ReynoldsÂ’ former Trans Am is a hardtop memento of the version he drove in the 1977 action comedy. It bears Bandit Run logos in the rear window and upper windshield and appears to have modified suspension components and bucket seats. It comes with a Florida registration with ReynoldsÂ’ name on it, and an autograph on the glove box that reads, “Be Safe!
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
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.
