Yea but stranger things have happened when i lived in tx I got a 68 camaro for 1000 bucks and 2 weeks labor time So lightning could strike twice

pics or it didnt happen.

wow, i dont know y it says trouble shooting help on the thread, my mistake. ive been thinkin about it but i dont know. i love my gtp. the caddy gets 14 mpg. what u guys think? if the trade dont go thru, hes selling the car for 5500.

lol i figured that was coming it was a barnyard find and needed work but i got a good deal on it
I had to put up a **** load of fencing for the labor part of it took me around 70 hours to do. A fence that would have cst around 3000 grand to build...
I quoted the job and saw the car on there property told them id do it free and and pay what ever for the car so it was really a 4000 dollar car

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

on the trade i wouldnt do it gtps a good DD unless you have another DD and would have the cadi as a toy

 

[a98gtp4u]

true. i finally got the gtp runnin strong and with no probs. i dont even know where 2 start havin 2 work on a caddy. its also like drivin a boat with wheels. this thing is like 4 ft. longer than the gtp.

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

Yea nw working on it would be simple But gas mileage adds up fast and if ur gp is where you want it Id stick with it
that would be like driving my c30 every where

 

[a98gtp4u]

yea, he fills it up with 65 bucks and it only goes 300 miles on the tank. i fill mine up with 40 and go like 360-380 on the tank.

 

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

yea sounds like my dually before i pulled my gtp apart my mpg was bad like 300 to a tank miles wise

3000 grand is a lot of money..

yea but a 68 camaro for a grand and 2 weeks labors a sweet deal

yea but a 68 camaro for a grand and 2 weeks labors a sweet deal

3000 grand = 3 million because one grand = 1000 so 1000 * 3000 = $3 000 000 :th_thumbsup-wink:

I don't get the lightning part... is it toast or still in "fixable" condition?
