Addicted to eaton Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Well guys, its time for a post that means a lot to me. As most of you know the Grand prix has been in ICU every night for the past 4 nights, receiving a radiator heater, and getting started every 3 hours to keep warm threw the night. With in the last few weeks she suffered a small heart attack (supercharger belt broke and idler) and two days later she ate her serpentine belt. Very confused after the heart attack is what one would assume. Today I bought her a new serpentine belt, and started filling her up with her favorite juice of all time ant-freeze when I noticed her bleeding, At 9:43 She was pronounced dead with the green fluid still under her. Its been a great time with you all. Im just not sure whats going to happen, Its time to let go, with 271k miles on the old girl she has had a very long life. Not sure if she will get cremated (parted out) or tucked in storage for a restoration (doubt it). With in a few months will be looking for a 1998 Daytona pace car. Update: She is not dead, i do not have it in me to let it die Come late January, Early February the tear down begins. I am not going to be in any rush, this can take up to 3 or 4 months! Project list Motor: N/A 3800 bottom end l67 heads xp cam 104 autolite plugs Top swap pacesetter headers Ported blower N* TB Intercooler (maybe) roller rockers 3.4 MPS pulley ported intake (depends on intercooler) shorter dog bones Transmission: I'm going to keep the stock 271k mile transmission in it for now, To see how many miles I can get out of it (id like to hit 300k miles) But have my spare 134k mile transmission rebuilt by a local shop Body: SD hood (but probably a stock replacement) Street scenes grills Daytona spoiler Rocker panels 2 door dings fixed. Paint (maybe a different color but I doubt it) Front bumper Front fender (have New one) Brakes: cross drilled/slotted rotors stainless steel lines new pads and MAYBE dual piston upgrade (doubt it) Suspension/wheels: gmpp Sway bar front an rear RSTB FSTB have my KYB gr2’s cleaned up less then 2k miles on them lol! lowering springs (maybe) Mustang bullit wheels Interior: Full black leather swap: 7 inch touch screen fiber glassed in spare dash piece Laptop computer installed under Driver side seat to run hp tuners, and the touch screen GPS antenna for the laptop and 04 plus seat swap (maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOT2B GM Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 There is 4 days left in the auction. WHY are you driving up the price 4 DAYS before the auction ends. Sit down and think about what the maximum amount of money would be that you want to spend to buy that car. Now go to http://www.auctionsniper.com Sign up, enter the auction number and the maximum bid you want placed. Enter a lead time of around 4 seconds. NOW sit back and relax. Auction sniper (or any bid sniping service you choose) will bid on your behalf, up to the maximum amount you have entered, just 4 seconds before the auction closes. This almost eliminates a person from outbidding you (unless of course they have a proxy bid set up higher than your max) Good luck and happy bidding.

Addicted to eaton Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 well i called the seller, he will think about accepting 8k from me and ending it early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 well i called the seller, he will think about accepting 8k from me and ending it early. he would be foolish to accept $8k for it if it is already at $7k with four days to go, definitely a gamble though...especially with you being the only one that has bid over $5k....that is very rare car being a GTX but damn the decals are hideous...

Venom Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The seller did add a footnote the mileage is different and someone retracted their bid as such. Definately depricates the value immensely. And those decals are horrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
