Another GTO In the Family
 
Well, my son and I have found his GTO. A sweet Impluse Blue Metallic six speed with black interior. Made the deal today, now waiting on the shipper to bring her home! My son won't be sleeping for the next several nights!

Here is a link to the ad. More pics when she gets here.

Congrats to your son Overuld. Looks great in that color. Hope he really enjoys it.

Verdoro 68 05-15-2014 01:50 AM

Nice! Starting to miss my '04.

The Boss 05-15-2014 07:34 AM

NICE!

eric_cspan 05-15-2014 09:26 AM

Love that color...and a good price as well for a M6

JLHarper 05-15-2014 09:38 AM

He will enjoy that one.....a great color too.

Is he going to do performance mods or keep as stock?

I think he plans to do a cold air intake, long tube headers, high flow cats and a Corsa cat-back exhaust. Maybe a cam somewhere down the road. He wanted either a Brazen Orange or this Impulse Blue. The blue was his first choice but he kept finding them with the bright blue interior and was looking for black guts. When this one showed up, we jumped on it. I had an LSX specialty shop in DFW do the pre-purchase inspection and it checked out good. Wired the money this morning so now we wait! He is almost as excited as old Dad!

Nice color! I enjoy my 06, I'm sure he will love it. Just currious what makes it extremely rare? Looks to be in real good condition. Congrats!!

Jerry H. 05-15-2014 10:10 PM

Looks like they've already took it down from their website.

Anyway, you know I'm partial to the earlier cars, but this one sounds very nice! Tell him I said Congrats! I hope to see it soon.

72projectbird 05-15-2014 10:27 PM

The best color!

Nice ride. With some LTs, catback, and a cam that car will really move.

I think that was just used car salesman hype. Other than it being the last year the GTO was offered, I am not sure. I haven't checked the production numbers yet, but I know they are posted on the LS1GTO forum.

Jerry, I will upload some photos to my photobucket album and get them posted. I can't wait to get this thing and drive it. My son is beside himself with anticipation!

Sharp color. Congrats!:)

7t8ta 05-16-2014 09:46 AM

Great looking car, good luck with it.

eaglesan13 05-16-2014 10:46 PM

Congrats on the new car. I bought a 2005 GTO a few months ago. Six speed trans with 18's, bone stock with only 10K miles on it. I love it, although the sound system could be better.

David Holmberg 05-16-2014 10:55 PM

Nice looking GTO, great color!

72projectbird 05-17-2014 11:53 AM

Oh man that's nice. I do like the blue interior on these cars, but the black is just as nice!

Where'd the GTO FRC's go? Did they have to go for the strut tower brace?

The previous owner removed them because they were known to chaff the rubber fuel line and could lead to engine bay fires. We plan to replace the fuel line with a braided stainless steel line and reinstall the FRCs.

Very nice car. I have to ask, should we call your son OBJECTION....get it?
Have fun with it and keep us posted here, not just on the other site.

OVERULD 05-18-2014 06:49 PM

I like it ponchjoe! I will encourage him to register here and join the board! We found out yesterday that the carrier is running a bit behind, so it won't get picked up until Monday, which means it won't get here until late Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

BJ

OVERULD 05-21-2014 12:40 PM

She arrived this morning. My son can't stop grinning!

Sorry Chris, no burnout straight off the trailer. Trying to set a good example for my son. We will be going through her with a fine tooth comb and doing some detail work this weekend.

First Mod will be a proper exhaust system!

eric_cspan 05-21-2014 12:58 PM

Wow. Sweet ride.

Tell him to register on here!

What exhaust setups were you looking at?

Thanks! He does plan to register.

A previous owner went straight, welded S/S pipes from the cats to the tips so it sounds like something out of Dukes of Hazard right now. He wants to do a set of Kooks ceramic coated long tubes, high flow cats, and then an X or H pipe and either some Flowmasters, Corsa or Borla with stock tips. He may have to save a little before he can go the full Monty, but in the interim, we may just have an X or H pipe and some Flowmasters installed to tone it down and eliminate all the popping and backfiring when you let off throttle.

I'm a patient man, I can wait for a proper video. ;)

Pigeon Forge?

OVERULD 05-21-2014 09:25 PM

Jerry, I actually forwarded the flyer on that to Miles this afternoon to see if he wanted to go, but he has to work that weekend and, no, he told me I couldn't swap cars with him that weekend!

He's already put a hundred miles on it this afternoon showing it to his buddies.

I'm biased here but the Pypes H-box and Axle Backs sound goooood.
Won't break the bank either.

72projectbird 05-22-2014 11:33 AM

Oh man, some Corsa mufflers behind a set of long tubes would sound flat out amazing! Borlas aren't a bad choice either.

Flowmasters sound good, but they flow like caca.

I just checked out the video on their website and would have to agree!
