That's a sharp looking Grand Prix and T-tops to boot. Very rare car. Sooo hard to find a clean G-body anything let alone T-tops. The LS is the way to go, drive it anywhere plus power. Good luck.

Thank you I do feel very fortunate to have found this car. With the LS it is a pleasure to drive, smooth, efficient and enough power to get me in trouble any time I want to.

We can smell our own. 1. Oiled under-carriage (it is a very Canuck thing). 2. The way you write (works in junkyard, has the spelling and grammar of a teacher). Your engine crane looks like a Crappy Tire special (I have the same one) 4. The speedo goes to 140... and that ain't in MPH (this was the dead giveaway).
*puts up hand* Also have this crane.

mine wasnt so un rusty. Be happy its was exon valdezed.

Well now that the summer has officially left us and I have things to do to the Grand Prix I have put it in the shop for the next few months. (I didn't say the "w" word). I have had a lot of fun over the summer as a daily driver and the occasional black line painter. I have created quite a long laundry list of things to do over the next while. I started with stripping out the interior to replace the stained /faded carpet and this is what I found

This was a very good surprise to me even though I knew it was a clean car. This third pic shows where the critters sewer system ended up in their condo complex.

So now for some cleanup and paint to seal it and i think I will put down some butyl sound deadener then the carpet
