visitor Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Ok browsing cl and came across this car. its priced at 450.. is that a fair price, or what would YOU give for it (if youd touch it at all). keep in mind its not going to be my daily car, just a project. (would like an 3800 swap or something similar) anyhow thoughts? "This is a sharp looking car and I'd hate to get rid of it BUT it's time for a 4 door AND this car NEEDS MAJOR MECHANICAL WORK. The car has sat since July 4th, 2010 when the idler belt went out. I took it into the shop and upon further investigation found out the idler pulleys where also bad. The top of the engine has already been disassembled. If this sounds like something you want to tackle the car is yours. WARNING: This car is a duel overhead cam and the engine WILL NEED TO BE RE-TIMED as part of the repair! If you don't want it, it's off to the junk yard. Specs Model: 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix 2 door Title: Clear/Rebuilt - bought that way don't know why Engine: 3.4L V6 - Not Running - duel overhead cam Mileage: 142,510 Body: Fair- some rust, leaky trunk and missing passenger side fender flair Tires: Fair Interior: Good - no major rips or tears Battery: Good - left me sit for the first time in four years this last winter, probably about due for a replacement Extras: CD player, power windows/locks, cruise To recap this car is being sold AS IS by owner with no warranty and no implied warranty. This car NEEDS MAJOR MECHANICAL WORK and DOES NOT RUN. It will need to be trailered upon pick up. I will not ship or transport the car to any location. No you can not wire me the money. I will be responding to e-mails only. No scams, no spam. I check e-mails daily. I would be happy to answer any additional questions. This ad is written to the best of my knowledge. This is not a simple fix. Thank you for looking. " pics- Seems to be a fairly low option gtp (no sunroof, cloth interior, it looks like no HUD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Seems like a good project. Worse comes to worse, you could part it for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I see a lot of rust spots rearing their heads, especially just above the rear bumper and on the fender by the front bumper. Might be worth it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTP091 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 The body looks to be in good shape. A couple trips to the JY and you could have yourself a fun toy. To bad you cant do a compression check on it. Not likely much wrong with the bottom end. From the looks of the engine bay the timing looks like it got shredded and the previous owner tried and failed to fix it. I would wave 300 in his face I bet he would take it. I'd pay 450 if it was close by just to put it back together again and resell. Don't let another GTP get crushed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 They debadged it only to add sh*tty decals everywhere. To my knowledge no '94's came from the factory looking like that, 1996's and maybe late 95 - yes. Not a fan. If you really know what you're doing and want to spend lots of time under the hood buy it. If you semi-know what you are doing and really hate yourself - buy it. If you don't know what you're doing congrats you've purchased a brick on wheels.

GOT2B GM Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 looks like it'll run with a timing belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 If you're in the north, I wouldn't get it. The underbody probably looks like hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visitor Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Im in oklahoma city. I already have an ste, this would just be a winter project while the ste interior is in the shop. I was thinking of throwing an l67 in it, pending my buddys report on the underbody condition (hes looking at it saturday) Im thinking of offering 350, I think thats about what its worth to me.. that seem fair?

Dark Ride Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I can Then I think offering 350 would be fair. The car looks to be in decent shape. He said if no one wants it, hes taking it to the junkyard where he'll get $200 max. EDIT: Woot! Post 1,000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visitor Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 As an update- my mechanic looked it over, took some pics of the underbody for me, its decent! offered 300 (not expecting him to take it) and.. well he accepted. going to pick it up in october. pretty stoked! I think its for sure worth 300! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
