i pay a lot of attention to the gp's i see on the road, parking lots, etc... and when i think about it, i've never seen another one just like mine. it's a green two door gt, grey interior, and the non-polished wheels. from what i've seen, the forest green wasn't all that popular. i've only seen a handful of them. i've seen one with leather seats and one with brown interior, a four door gtp and a four door gt. has anybody else seen one or am i just special?
 


its one of the rare(er) colors, but they are out there. i had one. loved it, but i also had a redone interior since mine came from the factory as cloth and when i bought it they had replaced it with a leather interior.
 
Mine was a one year only color...I see many blue ones...but in Navy Blue Metallic. I have honestly yet to see another blue black metallic. I even thought it was a color it was just re-painted in...and not GM issued. But...it was. I think that is rare enough for me...and I hate rare...because that means more expensive crap lol

Maple Woods eh? You're one of those... lol
IDK if it's a member on here but there's a dark blue (if i remember right) GP at longview with what looks like a typical honda exhaust. Haven't heard it so I can't criticize but the tips are wayyyyy too big
 
Nope...seen it. It is Navy Blue Metallic. I gotcha :p

Trust me...I have yet to see another one...I've been LOOKING lol
 
i absolutely love the green on these cars. and the navy blue metallic looks really good too. i've seen other green ones but not one that's matched up the two door, grey interior, and the wheels. it's hard enough just to find a green one lol.
 
Green has grown on me since i got my gtp at first i wanted to repaint but after a good clay bar and wax it looks a ton better and have grown to love it
 


Not uber rare, but not the most popular color. From what I've seen, the green (Medium Green Metallic according to GM) was more used on the SEs than the upper level cars. My mom's is MGM, and there are two or three at the junk yard in that color, and several around. Most that I have seen are SEs. It seemed to be a popular color with gold cross laces and 3800.

There is one in town here, my favorite GP I have ever seen, and I have only ever seen one of them. It belongs to an older guy, in his late 60s I would say, looks to be all original. It's a black GTP 4dr, with a two good pin stripes just above the body line at the bottom (along the top line of the side skirts) Gold rimmed GTP badges, and gold 5 spoke rims (not the torque stars). They are more gold tinted though, than actual gold. Its got peanut butter leather, and tinted windows. Absolutely beautiful car. I will get pics next time I see it.
 
i have seen a few SEs in the color. and with those wheels, it's such an ugly car. i wasn't a big fan of the black on these cars. it needed to be more metallic, more black if you will lol.
 
Got a Forest Green SE of my own. Been realizing it's not a very popular color lurking around the junkyard for parts haha.

I coulda swore.....ah screw it, it probably was Navy Blue Metallic. In my experience, I have yet to see another GP my color, Topaz Gold Metallic. I see Champagne all the time, but that's my two cents.

And yes, I am a Maple Woods guy....:D

Didn't somebody say somewhere in the forums that this is considered the "Gold Edition" Grand Prixs? I remember because of the pin stripe and gold rims.

Pics are from a guy on the WCGPC forum, really nice and rare from what I hear.
 
I've seen a couple of them around my area, but they are all beat down and not taken care of, like almost every rare Grand Prix I see :(
 
the color is DARK GREEN METALLIC. i have had to find the paint code to match it already more than once.
