LT1_383
02-04-2007, 11:29 PM
I seem to get bored with cars every two years and this one is no exception. I'm thinking about getting into a new GTO.
I bought this car in March of 05 from a Nissan Dealership in Pennsylvania with 78k miles on it. I’m the second owner and it now has a little over 96k. Since I can’t leave well enough alone I pulled the perfect running motor out last winter with just under 90k miles on it. I ordered up a forged 383 short block from Golen Engine Services out of Connecticut to replace it then sent my heads and intake manifold out to Advanced Induction in North Carolina to have them ported. When both arrived I put it all together and dropped it in. Fired up first shot, just like on TV. It’s been my daily driver since with no issues. It has a bit over 6k miles on it now.

Overall

Transmission doesn't slip at all, shifts flawlessly
Great daily driver, no cam surge, can't even tell it has a high stall converter
Idles great
The negative
Was in a minor accident last summer, air bags didn't even deploy. Cracked the front bumper and fender up. Everything was replaced with GM parts (have receipts) and the whole front end was repainted by a very reputable shop. I'm a very picky person and was pleased with the work.
The drivers side bolster has the usual wear, although not as bar as many others I've seen.
Drivers floor mat is also worn a little
Rear seat back is separating a little at the seem towards the top, easy repair. Haven't had a chance to get to the upholster yet though.
I have receipts for most every part.
I have over 25k invested. Looking to get $10k
Got any questions or want to arrange a test drive call me or PM me (631)790 7674
