Brings back memories!!! Years and years ago, i owned a 1982 GP LJ DIESEL, it was that dark blue like yours, with tan interior, buckets auto floor shift. Looking back I wish i kept it, perfect inside and out other than the notorious GM head gaskets on their wonderful diesel boat anchor 5.7 Olds motor. Would have made a great car to put a gas engine in!
Nice! I always wondered what those diesel gbodies were like

Welcome aboard from Pa. , I too have a 82 Grand Prix. Did you know that only cars bought in Canada had the 305 V-8? The only 8 cylinder available in the U.S. was the Olds 350 diesel.
Yeah I knew that. I wondered what that was all about. I'm glad this one had the V8 cause it's show car quality and I didn't want to pass on it

Nice GP you got there! How can so many G-bodies survive the harsh weather up there in Canada>?? There seems to be a lot of them up there. Good Luck and welcome aboard!

I see a number of Grand Nationals, SS, 442's, ect but generic g-bodies like mine tend to be very uncommon around here. The original owner I bought it from never winter drove it and stored for the season. It had one factory re paint at some point but aside from that the car is clean and original. The undercarriage looks straight!
