GTP Possibly Totaled

[Z34guy]

The Pontiac Grand Prix my sister bought from KevinGTP (mymonte.com) is possibly totaled as of 5 minutes ago.

 

My sister was on the way back home from Walmart. Not even 100 feet from the house, an animal jumped out, probably a deer. Whatever it was, she hit it. Bumper smashed in, hood curled up, windshield smashed, airbags deployed... It still ran long enough to drive into the driveway. Dad says it can probably be fixed.

 

[jeremy]

ouch.....she alright, I assume?

[Z34guy]

yea she's ok. scared, her neck hurts and she has some seatbelt burn on her neck.

[Andrew]

what year of GTP?

[jake91]

that sucks

[jeremy]

yea she's ok. scared, her neck hurts and she has some seatbelt burn on her neck.

 

glad that she's ok.....So.....do you have any pics? .....scared chics and belt/"burn" marks always seem to get my motor going...

[tdvs]

Good to hear your sister is OK. Musta been something pretty big to do that much damage. Did you check the street to see if anything was there?

ouch, honstly it scares me more having airbags than not having airbags. I have heard some horror stories with airbags. Hope everything goes ok

[Z34guy]

what year of GTP?

 

1998

 

I just got to thinking... IF it is totaled... we have 2 different cars. one with a siezed engine, and one totaled with a good engine... Swap the L67 into a '97 Chrysler Concorde? It would be the same situation as the guy who put the Corvette LS1 into the Honda Civic.

....WTF Jeremy? :lol:

I just dropped off the film at CVS for development. Should have pics up in a few hours. Wwe looked closer at the car in the daylight... It looks inbetween totaled and salvagable... Could go either way. oh and I got the full story from her (had a hard time understanding her last night... she's still a bit jumpy). A deer jumped out. She swerved to miss it and hit a pole. If it is totaled, we'll take the money insurance gives us, take out all the engine bits (engine, wiring harness, PCM, etc...) and probably shove it in her old '97 Chrysler Concorde LX as the motor seized at 168,000 miles.

No offense but you are probably better off parting out the GTP and buying the correct motor for the Concorde then trying to retrofit an L67 into it. Way less work and at least you will have one running car.

Good to hear shes ok, but that sucks about the car.

Hey,

 

Wish I had seen this last night.

 

Still time for it today.

 

There's a lot of exercises that your sis. can do to help her neck if she has whiplash. Search them up on the next, here's just the quick 411:

 

1.) Ask sister if her head feels "too heavy" if yes. Continue.

 

2.) Whiplash happens when you lose the natural curve in your neck. It curves inward and when you have whiplash it's more or less straight and uncompressed which is why your head feels like it weighs a tonne.

 

3.) Take a bathroom towel (shower one) and roll it up. Hold it against the back of the neck (without applying pressure to the neck) while standing. Slowly work on bending your head back over the towel 10 reps and then maybe half an hour later another 10 very slowly. The key is restoring the muscles and curve of your neck, and then you'll feel better.

 

Hope she feels better. Scary stuff.

we used the film cameras because we lost the cables to both of our digital cameras.

OUCH!...i'd guess its prolly totalled...

[Night Fury]

Yikes.... yeah.... doesn't look good....

[5speedz34]

It could be fixed, pretty easily but it would need a ton of parts.

 

Did the roof crumple?

[jake91]

untill i saw the pics under the hood i was thinking thats not that bad, but once i saw those it was a whole differnet story thats bad

[5speedz34]

So long as the damage is only to the front radiator core/frame horns that car is easily fixable. It will probably be totalled though since its a 10 year old domestic car.

[Z34guy]

from the front radiator support forward, everthing needs replacing (besides the strut tower braces, the hood, windshield, front engine mounts and airbags). no the roof didn't crumple. It could be fixed. It looks like it could go either way. If it is totaled, my sister'll take the money insurance gives us, possibly part it out, and look for another '97-'03 GTP

 

 

oddly, it still runs and moves.
