• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • 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.

99GT with 98GTP parts car in Fall Creek WI 54742

Ive owned the car since 2010 with intentions of doing a top swap or turbo. I bought it in Austin TX with a rod knock and hauled it back home so as far as I know the car has never seen snow or salt since I garaged it til a month ago. I picked up a used 08 buick lucern motor from Shipman auto parts in Brainerd MN with maybe 50k on it (Ill see if I can find the paperwork). Around Dec 2010 I put the motor in, painted some parts, got it running, and started hiding some of the wires. I also deleted the AC, Evap, and EGR in the process (needs a tuner to delete the codes). Fast forward to a month ago I finally had time to put it on the road. I pulled the radiator, PS pump, and upper mounts from the GTP and put them on. So far Ive put maybe 20 miles on the car up and down my road and let it idle for awhile to check it over. As far as I can tell the only issues are a small PS leak and it needs a FPR hose. Im not sure if the pump or rack is leaking, or heck it could be residual fluid from the swap. Id like to say its 100% rust free but brand new cars have rust so Ill say 98%. It does have a couple dings in the body that Ill get pics of

So thats the story on my ownership of the GT. As far as the GTP goes Ive owned it since 08ish and it was a good car. It ran and drove before I parked it but the suspension was loose as a goose and the body rotted out thats why its a parts car now.

99GT 2Dr157k mile body, 50k 08 L26 motor, Trans unknown but looked original
AC ,EVAP, and EGR delete
Accel 8.5mm custom fit wires
Other than that its stock

98GTP 4DrOver 200k body, motor was replaced with a used one and the trans was refreshed at the same time around 150k (no proof)
3.4 pulley
ZZP PCM
Speed daddy headers

Parts to go with
Scanmaster gauge
NIB 3.4 pulley
Extra M90
original motor with rod knock (looks like they redid the heads)L26 alum intake, exhaust manifolds, ect
Glow shift gauges (boost, trans temp, and oil pressure)And a few other odds and ends floating around

I basically lost interest in building this car and Id like to see it go to someone who will do something with it. I have two other cars ahead of this one on top of the honey do list. Ive looked around and I feel $3500 for everything listed is where it should be at with a little bit of room to move. If you feel this is out of line either keep it to yourself or make a reasonable offer. I dont need to sell
 


BTW Im not interested in trades or parting anything at this time. If needed I can pull motor, trans, and subframe out of the GTP to put on a trailer instead of taking the whole parts car
