Default 2004 GTO - Quicksilver/Black - M6

Year: 2004
Make: Pontiac
Model: GTO
Price: $13000
Mileage: 78500
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): TN
Color: Silver
Transmission: Manual
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive

I’ve owned this car since August 2006, and it has been in Texas the whole time. It's been my daily driver for 6 years, commuting to work on the highway. I still love this car, but a new second child means a two-door just isn't practical anymore.

I’ve listed all the modifications and info about the car I can think of below. The car has zero problems, handles very tightly, and runs stronger than every stockish LS2 GTO I've driven (also had the ls2 gto owners say so ). The RPM transmission shifts perfectly with no grinding, engine is rock-solid, and drivetrain is problem-free. If there’s something else you’re curious about just shoot me a PM.

Highlights:
2004 Quicksilver GTO – LS1 M6
340+ whp, 347+ wtq (dyno'ed with only break-in miles on engine)
~ 78,500K miles
New GM Crate engine at 35K miles - professionally installed

Bump

I do have more pictures of the car that I didn't post up - tire tread, trunk, owners manual, inside center console, etc. (all that stuff is in perfect shape) that I can send to anyone who wants them. It still has the change tray that can cover the cupholders and goes at the back of the armrest interior. All of the rubber trays for the cubbies are there and spotless. The car was aligned last year, handles perfectly neutral.

Another thing, based on some offers I received - NOT INTERESTED IN TRADES. I've bought the replacment car already, and just want to sell the Goat.

Thanks for looking.

BUMP - Price is OBO, fellas.

Look around at the other 2004 GTO's for sale, guys - considering the price and overall condition/package, I really think this is a great deal.

Title is clean and car is paid off, so title is in-hand. I have a huge folder of records and receipts for everything that comes with the car. I don't race the car, heck I haven't even had a street race in years! (sad, I know) The car was aligned last year after the Eliminator suspension was put in, and set up to handle perfectly neutral.

All of the common items that go wrong on GTO's - strub rub, BCM wire rubbing, fuel line rubbing from FRC's, T56 problems, worn-out suspension, glove box hinge breaking, etc. - all that stuff has already been either fixed, replaced, or avoided. Headliner isn't falling, leather seams are not coming apart, rubber trim/seals are all perfect, paint isn't bubbling, and the backs of the front seats are not falling off - like so many other cars. This car is in great shape and ready to go for another 75K mi at least.

I've posted this on a few forums to try and sell it in the LSx community first, but I'm going to post it on Autotrader and Cars.com in a few days where I think it will go quick - don't miss out.
