Bob Sellers! I worked right by there! thats where I get all my Dealer parts from (because I know the parts guyz...25% off list :wink: )

 

 

Let me know if you see any Reatta articles

Posted
Cool!

 

Dont think I have ever seen a CD player like that one at the bottom of the page here: http://images5.theimagehosting.com/misc_grandprix2.jpg

 

Doesn't even look like it's in a GP. :?

 

It's not. Those were in the Grand Ams, and Grand Ams only, I believe. The ones in the GPs, and just about every other Pontiac through about '93 looked like this one:

Something kind of interesting... Looks to be an early Z34. And I left the other part about plastic keys for Berettas and Corsicas on there too. From June 88 RT:

remember it WAS back in late 89/early 90 :read:

 

sporty it was :D

Posted

Yeah, that was back in 88 when you were stuck ( I use that lovingly ) with the 2.8, 14 or 15 inch rims, 70 series tires and no ABS. Sounds pretty tame now, though...

Posted

PLEASE excuse my mediocre (at BEST) scanning abilities and the HUGENESS of the pics. :shock: :shock: :bash: :bash:

Posted
If they were huge, that'd be great. I can't read those! :lol:

i about went blind but i read them, people, please dont post articles we cant read! no fun in that

Posted

good article tho, i think if u have a really high rez camera, u take a good pic, and thats how, i had one on the 95 Lumina, Intrepid, Taurus, and Maxima, i lost i think! the Taurus was the slowest, and worst handling, the Lumina pulled off a 16.3 and the Intrepid with its 3.5 Owned them all

Here's a few more; most are from '88:

Check out the Cutlass concept below - not too bad. Both of these would look 100% better if they didn't ride so high!

I didn't realize the Aeroform kit was available back in '88. Again, look how high it sits.

This was kinda interesting. The body kit & wheels look a little familiar don't they? Also notice the bigger, flared wheel openings, relocated license plate, and center exhaust.

Check out the bodywork on these. The green V8 one has real wide rear quarters & wheels and the "Car-Low" is chopped. The latter also has the tops of it's tail lights deleted & molded into the body.

Awesome, thanks!

 

That turbo Cutlass is SWEET... but yeah, it rides high as fuck, even compared to mine. :shock:

 

EDIT: I guess it's NA...but still, I like those wheels and that bodywork a lot.

Posted

 

Those things are amazing... I am absolutely facinated with those (old?) late 80's/early 90's GM concept cars... Such technology at the time was never carried through!

Posted

yuck, not liking that TGP's center caps, they stick out way too much, but that cuttlass looks great! and that Grand Am looks sweet!
