Justin Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Well I found my old Grand Prix, slightly worse for wear than the last time I saw it. Here's a pic from a couple years ago. I was actually helping another friend of mine look for a car when I spotted it, without the 3.4 and trans. (the way to buy a 3.4 car if you ask me ) Bought it originally for $650, sold it for $2250. I can buy it right now for $250, I'm probably going to. I have a 2.8/4T60 out of my old blue CS that would look pretty good in there, but there is some body damage now. I'd need to find another gold crosslace rim, get rid of the powermaster III bullshit, drop the 2.8 in there, I'd be set. Or I could just part it out, would a 91 GP HUD work in a 89 CS? Obviously the dash pad parts won't but would the unit connect ok? Well it was good to see the old girl again anyways, thought it was kinda cool.

PJB Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 The white CS in the background in the second pic looks like the way my car is gonna look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runt Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Talk about getting the shit beat out of a car. I feel bad for your old car! Actually my mom had an old GP like that, BEAUTIFUL car when she got rid of it, now it looks like shit and runs even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 how about swap the whole GP interior into the cutlass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay3800 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Man that must be sad. My first car, a very nice Bonneville, was completely crushed by a huge oak tree in a wind storm. I almost cried (or did I). I feel your pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted October 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 how about swap the whole GP interior into the cutlass The Grand Prix interior can't hold a candle to the CS interior, dash-wise anyways. Worthless glovebox, tiny climate control buttons, no digital gauges, dumb spot for wiper controls.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 better than the Lumina, NO cupholders, TINY glove box, a 1 foot reach from full stretch of arms to climate controls and 6" from the radio, boring gauges, and lastly, having no interior lines coming anywhere close to meeting each other.

Ya know, you sell your car expecting the next owner will take care of it.. and just look what happens!! It's like finding your cat/dog a good home.. You expect it to be in the same condition as you left it... ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1kicker Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 for $250 you should definately get it. Someone is always looking for a hud, and b4u, and it's not too far gone either to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob95CS Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 That's a damn shame. I see W-Bodies all the time that are in horrible shape. People need to take care of these vehicles. But I suppose it just goes to show that these cars hold up to some punishment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Looks like an easy fixer. Don't bother fixing the PM III. I'd just yank it out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
