Re: The Dented Grand Prix Club. Post Your Dents Here
I wouldn't even consider those dents, just small dings.
I don't own the car anymore, but my Grand Prix got hit by an idiot in an econoline backing out of a parking spot. Saw the whole thing happen. Kinda hard to see, but it went all the way down the drivers door and quarter panel but stopped before the wheel well. Also dented the door above the molding and broke the mirror.
this was after I buffed out most of the scratches by hand. The mirror got fixed, but the giant dent never did.

I dont have a pic of it, but I have a Dent in my roof pillar about the size of a softball... Was there when i bought the car and never really cared about it. Hope the next person who buys it doesnt eithor. Dent's and scratches add character lol

Slight dent on right side. Happened in my driveway in the middle of the night. Hit and run. Thankfully it was insured.

Heres my three W-body Grand Prixs, quite the ugly twins. Left to right, thats my current daily driver, a black 99 GTP coupe. Its got little dings all over, nothing too bad. Haven't really taken any pics of that car but it has minor left door and right fender damage.
Then in the middle is my ex-DD for four years, a black 99 GT coupe. Loaded just like the GTP. It got hit in every month that starts with a J in 2013. First the right side. Then the right fender. Then I put a door on it. Then the left front hit, and lights out for that car at 178K. People drive bad here.
On the right is the 135K minty 40th GTP coupe I rolled over in Nov 13. Never caused a wreck in over thirty years of driving, then one night I screwed up and ended up topsy-turvy in the ditch with nobody around to blame. Based on the evidence, I feel like a tire failure may have been to blame for the sudden total loss of control but the world will never know. That was a fairly discouraging driving experience.
This is my baby. I laid that paint down twelve years ago. Hail has hit it twice, not that it really shows up in pictures but up close its obvious. Both times the house got new shingles but I never insured this car for hail damage. Oh well, it still turns heads plenty for me.
Theres another ... but I don't have a pic uploaded of it wrecked. In 1992, I was five years deep in my first GP, a 75 Model J. I painted it too, had the 400 and TH400 rebuilt, etc. Then a Mercury Zephyr pulled in front of me. It ended up about three feet wide and my right front was shortened a couple feet. Junked it when I had to move, dadgummit.
The one below is just for fun, it belongs to the guy I bought my GTP from. It um- burnt.
