yeah, i almost lost mine to the "fast and furious" syndrome..LOL. dang riceburners :blam: . we were gonna hotrod his but the V-6 in it runs so nice and its so clean under the hood were thinking about turning it into a oldschool lowrider with the 100 spoke gold daytons and all. well see what...

hello. welcome to the forums. for some reason this pontiac forum is dead usually. i just started posting here after picking up a grand prix. prior to that i only posted in the olds forums as i am working on a cutlass and by comparison theres alot more activity in those threads. i am by no...

wow, that thing is clean man. i wonder if the chevy diesel blocks are like the olds diesel blocks. alot of the guys are using the olds diesel blocks to build stroker gas motors i guess. probably not. im hopig we can get the tires ordered for it next month and maybe the windows tinted. then its...

thanks man, i know hes gonna enjoy it. moneys been extremely tight around here for the last month so i havent got it on the road yet but hopefully within the next week he can start driving it. the funny part is my son just moved back from central ohio to florida to live with me and we go car...

yup, 80 cutlass is the same thing. i think all g bodys are the same pretty much. i found all the trim parts i needed off another member on here plus a pair of tail lights for $120 shipped.

just wanted to say my son and i love your car man. i just bought him an 81 grand prix and its all stock with 80,000 original miles, but it kinda still looks like a granny car with the wire wheel hub caps, V6 and brown paint. your car was one of the ones i showed him so he could envision what his...

can any of you guys that are more familiar with the grand prix tell me what ill need to get together to swap a small block chevy into this thing ? its gotta be a quicky swap so i need to get it all together beforehand, the kid aint gonna be happy without wheels very long. im assuming motor...

yeh, the little v6 is pretty peppy, like i said, its only got just over 80,000 miles on it so its still relatively fresh. i told him he could pirate some f my parts for my cutlass im working on like my wheels and the 300hp 350 crate motor i got. but were gonna do wheels and pant first, then...

some interior shots

just picked this up for my son. its an 1981 grand prix with 80,000 original miles on it. looks like the car was garage kept a majority of its life, since it came from ohio and the rust issues are extremely minimal. its got a few small issues but considering the age of the car its in really good...

sorry man, i havent been on for awhile. my 17 yr old decided he wanted to move back down with me to florida from ohio, so i have been dealing with that for the last month. i guess my car is on hold for awhile though ( but ill still take that core if we can get together ) , we have been looking...

figured id UPDATE- just got all my soft top to hard top conversion pieces i needed. bought them off a member here, 81regal. also got some pretty decent taillights i needed from him. got all the window trim and the rear valance panel for a hardtop. thanks man. so anyone dealing with this member...

if you end up checking it out let me know, id be nsterested to see if its as clean as it looks. btw, i will probablyy be able to get up that way in july if we dont hook up by then so i could grab that core support then if its still available.

that thing is really coming along man, i dont think i have commented on your thread yet, but i have been wathing it and your doing a hell of a job. some people would have walked away from that rot around the quarter window. my son is 17 and im hoping to get him a G body project soon. hes moving...
