The Obscure Facts About The Grand Prix Thread

[fastbird232]

Actually, there's a pretty good one going on in the "Major 1996 GTP Problem" thread, but I thought since we pretty much hijacked the shit out of that one, we could start putting a few things in here.

 

I would have called this the "Obscure Facts About W-Bodies Thread," but...I don't really care about the rest of them.

 

My obscure fact: you could order an SE with the 3.4.

94-96 GP special editions...some are basically no option 3100 models with gold pinstrippin....not even givin the digity of a 3.4

 

GTP's were loaded more than the special editions.

Saw one of them in a junkyard... It was a 4 door SE with Zero Options... it was ODD

I'm still contesting.

 

You must specify 91-3 and 94-6 cars. Becuase, 91-3 SE's were available with the 3.4 (My car is proof of that) However, i do not beleive 94-6 SE's were available with a 3.4.

[digitaloutsider]

Anyone remember that 94 BYP SE posted here a month or so ago? It had a 3.4..

Back then, couldn't you almost add/delete close-to-individual options?

What else is weird is the 04+s GP GT/GTPs I have yet to see one with HUD, but they do supposidly still have that as an option

[Guest Anonymous]

It was an option, not standard on anything... few have them.

[fastbird232]

Ross, I'm gonna find that damn 3.4 Special Edition and take a picture of it for you. Those suckers do exist!

[Guest Anonymous]

I'll beleive it when i see it, be sure to get the louvres in the photo. (if any)

[fastbird232]

He was a commuter, so it might take a few days. I'll post it ASAP.

we have a Fully loaded GTP Comp G, white, chrome wheels, black leather interior,HUD, tap shift, the works, its NICE, but a 35 thousand dollar price tag, wow! (at our dealer of course) Nice car for sure, some have HUD, but some dont

I saw a base SE GP once.. Like, holy shit base.. Had the DIC, shitty buckets, and a sunrof.. Didn;t even have Shaun's uber cool "LTE front fascia styling"..

 

Anyway..

[White93z34]

lets see...

 

there was the 1992 GP SE sedan shaun and i saw at a georgia wrecking yard that had the 3.4, and that was about it.

 

the fact that theres plenty of n/a 3.1 STEs running around is odd to me.

Like I said in there other thread, there's one of those here too, and it is not a GTP according to the owner(she purchased it brand new, so I would think she knows). I'll get a picture of it next time I see it(usually see it about once a week).

 

EDIT: Shaun, do you remember what section or when that BYP car was in? I remember seeing it posted, but couldn't find it when I searched.

l=there was the 1992 GP SE sedan shaun and i saw at a georgia wrecking yard that had the 3.4, and that was about it.

 

92 is totally different.

[fastbird232]

Yeah, you could get a 3.4 SE through '93. The rare thing is seeing a '94+ SE with one.

91-93 GP GT 2-doors are rare. But there was one in a local yard to me that was fulyl loaded minus leather. Had all the options of a GTP, hud, dic ect. Not sure if it had a 3.1 or a 3.4, the motor was pulled.

Look at the Tach. :oops:

Write down the VIN....... carfax will show the engine for free

[Prospeeder]

or look for an X, that will tell u if its a 3.4 dohc

I think Shawn(GnatGoSplat) posted that he believed all the 91-93 GT's were 3.1 cars. I've seen two of those GT's in person(both had HUD/DIC & gray leather quad buckets) with 3.1's in them.

there were no gp GT 2 doors

[fastbird232]

I'm getting confused here...I thought all GTs were four-door, 3.4L cars.

91-93 GT = 2dr

 

94+ = 4dr

 

 

I can provide proof of the 91-93 cars if needed, but I don't really feel like digging through my old file backups....
