So, as things normally go I had no intentions or plans of buying a GTP or another car anytime soon.
But...
I stumbled across something on craigslist I couldn't quite pass up; which would be this:
A 1998 Grand Prix GTP Pace Car; 177,000 miles, 2 owner, never wrecked, and garage kept until early 2015. It wasn't much to look at (door trim missing, dent in drivers door, and various other imperfections) but it did run and drive flawlessly' so I bought it for $1800; still not quite sure if that was a good deal or not. What made me jump on it was it is 1 of 200 pace cars with the factory sunroof, had an SD? hood, and roof rails.
Loaded onto trailer
At home with the other GP
After the first wash its probably had in months
As it sits now
Currently I'm in the process of redoing the cooling system as it was full of stopleak, dexcool sludge, and water. It's already had the intake gaskets redone and seems to have been kept up well enough. It has a 3800 performance PCM, Thrasher Intake, and Thrasher shift kit. Only thing I plan to do is put on a set of SD headers I have laying around and drop to a 3.4. The car will basically just sit in my Garage except for nice weekends and the local car shows.
