Thread: Fraudulent Ebay Listing: 99GP w/ XP cam AND1.9 rockers...

1.9 rockers w/xp cam and no head work?!?
Gen V Blower but the photos show a series II cover w/no N* or LQ4 MAF?!?
ZZP Headers and U Bend Delete?!?

Sure, its easy to say not my problem and let some unsuspecting sucker pick this up, but I'd like someone to warn me before I got scammed. I feel like when you have a chance to prevent someone from being scammed, you should. I'd like to email ebay and report it, but I couldnt find an option for falsified modification claims.. At least I was able to post a question to the seller about some of his claims and hopefully other buyers will see...
Listing is below....

Ebay Item Number

121040476134

Pontiac : Grand Prix GTP Sedan 4-Door in Pontiac | eBay Motors

Here I have my baby up for sale my GTP. It is heavily modded, list off mods:
ZZP: Headers
ZZP: 1.0 PCM
Gen V Supercharger ported and polished
XP Cams
1.9 Rockers
Forged Pistons
ZZP: 3.25 pulley
U-bend removed
ZZP 3800 Cold air Intake
NGK Platinum spark plug and wires
Walbro 255 fuel pump
42 pound injectors

Engine was taken out and rebuilt a couple months ago. Car should be making around 350 horsepower maybe more I haven't dynoed it. Heated seats, A/C, Heat works well, tires are good. This car is a complete sleeper, anyone that rolls up on me think they are looking at a regular gtp until they hear the supercharger whine when I pull away which is loud. Sound system has been changed it has a BOSS Cd player with mp3 input and USB input wired to 2 15 inch MTX's in the trunk with 2000 watt JL audio amp. Any questions email me at ramomxfchampion@yahoo.com

IIRC the GEN V doesnt have the post in the top for the nut for the engine cover. Did he just glue the nut on it?

he cant run a 3.25 like that on a gen v let alone a gen 3. also you dont port and plish a gen v its pointless. also thats teh stock pulley on there

That car is stock junk.
Scam artist, obviously.

XP cams.

Two of them.

hes from Michigan someone local should say that they want to look at it and pick the car apart... call him a liar and blackmail him by saying you going to the cops for fraud if he doesnt sell them the car for 1000 dollars

So much fail here.. Zzp headers and still lists Ubend delete... Xp cam AND 1.9's but no mention of head work or spring rate.

The seller responded to my inquiry this morning:

Dear gokartmar27, you have 1.9 rockers and a cam?!? you must have custom headwork done then or the valves would be bent due to extreme lift, what valve springs did you put in? Why does the picture show a Series II motor cover but you claim a Gen V blower, which is a Series III and the II cover in the picture wont fit on what you have claimed. What kind of headers do you have? The ZZP Long tube headers require a custom downpipe, which would replace u-bend delete. Potential buyers check his claimed mods with message boards and research. - brookstyr

Dear brookstyr,

i bought the car with a built engine and have all receipts i only added a few things to it, it runs perfect so i dont know what ur talkin about this car hauls asss, u dont like the mods dont buy it

- gokartmar27

even more reason to run from this time bomb of a car.

he dont know, cause he was lied to as well, and he took the hook, now hes off loading it. or thinks its modded and wants big money for it. some peoples kids, man.


id ask for the poof and receipts to be posted, if no, hes full of it.

Could have been lied to by somebody who he bought it from?

Who knows.

Who cares, le dumb.

Someone will take him to claims on this.

Or the pictures are old.

zzp cold air intake, it obviously says wizaird, stock pulley, gen 3, doubtful on rockers and headers. looks stock with an intake.

probably a non-car guy that was lied to when he purchased it.

The EBAY add is full of fail. In one picture on the driver side it has GT badge and in another it has a GTP badge. On the passenger side it has GT badges. Someone is going to get screwed out of $6k.

Look at original post before making assumptions, ebay's report fradulent applies only to VIN and Odometer claims. But you'd rather look down your nose and assume you're still more intelligent than the rest of the world as usual instead of reading everything through.

"I'd like to email ebay and report it, but I couldnt find an option for falsified modification claims"

The pics were taken at a dealership if you look closely.
