• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Temp Climbing

    My GXP typically shows 3/8 on the coolant temp, very consistently. This morning, while idling in Park for maybe 5 minutes, the gauge climbed up to just a tick over 1/2. It dropped down after I started moving again. Outside temp was about 60 so it's not like it's hot out. The ATF temp showed...

    Taillight Shields Missing

    The shields that block water @ the taillights, under the trunk lid, sending it down the channel rather than into the taillight housing, are missing. Just bought the car, but I've never seen this part missing on any car I've owned. I have owned two previous W bodies. I checked with parts at the...

    Question on substitutes

    OK, got the deal for the GXP to take delivery PDQ. I was planning on replacing the worn out stock summer tires with ContiExtremeContact DWS. These are asymmetrical but nondirectional, meaning I can rotate side to side if I contuinue with Pontiac's staggered setup. Stock front size is in...

    New 2007 GP GXP

    I found a new GXP, 2007, no build sheet yet. They say they'll take under 20 grand for it. Good deal? New car, never titled. Purple Haze.

    Thrill Spotting Rare Car

    To those of you in areas better-populated by GXPs, this post is optional. For the others, I spotted dark colored Grand Prix yesterday in a parking lot. Looked like a V8 tag on the lower right side of the trunk lid. Car needed a bath. I approached the driver after we both parked, asking her how...

    17" on GXP

    Even though I haven't purchased a GXP yet, I was checking Tire Rack for snows, out of curiosity. They list a number of 17" tires and they show some wheels. Unfortunately I have chronic web problems at TR with "session timed out" or "your session was terminated for your security" or some...

    New Old Pontiac Enthusiast

    Howdy all. I'm glad to find this site. Other GP sites seem moribund. :th_crossbones1: :th_skull: At one, I can't get access to the "forums" though they claim to have them. I've been a car nut since childhood. I suspect it set in prenatally. My first car was a 1967 Pontiac Catalina 400 two...
