Addicted to eaton Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I used to hate 1st Generation grand prix’s. Then I bought one, then I bought two, then I sold one, now I want another one. I hated the 1988-1993 cars. And before I owned my first 1995 I hated those two. Now being on w-body and seeing these car’s more and more I fucking want one, BAD. Now I have found 2 or 3 Grand prix’s. With the 3.1L motors. One is a 1993 and the other 2 are 91’s. The 1993 for 400 bucks is a 2 door and has no pictures. And the guy makes less since than me. I figure if I called him I might be able to understand what’s wrong with the car. Then there is a 1991 for 500 All it says is “Needs motor work†it also says the body and interior are in good shape. Now how hard is it to find a good 3.1? Any one have a transmission for this car? If so about how much would it cost me? The 2ed one The 91 Is also a 5 speed. The 93 might be the transmission. How much would that cost me. I know someone that can put the transmission in because I don’t mess with the sub-frame. And how hard is it to put the DIC in these cars And HUD. I wired my 95’s in.. And it was easy thanks to Kenny. Any other cool shit to do to these cars that I couldn’t do to my 95. I just want to have 2 cars. The transmission on the 95 will be fixed next week. Quote
Crazy K Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 you make my head hurt!!! You are saying the 91 has a 5 speed transmission??? I'd think that has a 3.4. I'd jump on it dude! Quote
meltboy1 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 wait, lemme get this straight, a 91 GP 5 spd for $500... WHERE?!?! If you don't take it I want it! Quote
Q-Ball Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 DIC and HUD are easy to add on too. Well, the DIC is a lot harder than the HUD. But it can be done. Quote
Addicted to eaton Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 right now im looking at buying this http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/img_popup.jsp?car_id=238479359&photoIndex=1 Because its a 3.4 DOHC 5 speed with only 108,000 for 500 bucks Quote
3.1cutlass Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 What a mess! Being a 3.4 5-speed i would pick it up. Looks like it just needs a good cleaning. Quote
w-bodys_are_the_best Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I think I saw this one the other day on autotrader, didn't it say it was hit in the front? It still wouldn't be bad as long as it's not all twisted up, front clips are pretty easy to come by on those pre-92 cutlass's, at least around here, as long as your not picky on the color I'd rock a blue 3.4 5 speed cutlass with a red/silver/white, or whatever color is around front clip. It's not a hard job either, me and my friend pulled everything between the bumper cover and rad support plus the hood from a white donor 92 and put it on my 94 in abot 5-6 hours one saturday. I'm sure the 91 and earlier are probably easier because you won't have to deal with all the parts for the shitty mini-quads, the older ones have the composites. edit: quote from ad: "DOHC 24 valve 3.4L V-6 with 5 Speed Manual,'91 Cutlass Supreme- been wrecked --needs front clip--rest of body in excellent condition. Power Everything, digital dash & like new blue cloth interior, 16" wheels........." Quote
3.1cutlass Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Except the international clip is different and hard to find. Quote
EviLette Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Except the international clip is different and hard to find. 5-speed makes any 1st gen w an awesome find! Quote
Euro Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Any 5 speed GP is desirable. desirable.....to.....us...lol Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 That car would cost a LOT to repair the front end. The radiator support is bent and cracked under the fender support bar. It's only good for parts but it's still a great deal. Quote
EviLette Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Buy them both. Put the motor/tranny into the one that isn't all wrecked. Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Any 5 speed GP is desirable because its at least 3,400 pounds of pure scrap metal and China needs metal like crazy to build their empire with it. PWNED !!! Quote
