A few months back I went to an estate auction out by the Pittsburgh Airport. I guess it was probably a good thing it was raining and the car was parked in grass-no one wanted to crawl underneath and look it. It was 1 of 3 cars, that came from a mechanic/collector that passed away. It is a 1986 Pontiac Grandprix, 66k original miles-another unsure issue, as titles were not available the day of auction. After getting it home and down to inspection station, which it cakewalked through the Pa. state emissions. The car has 4 brand new Michelin(nitrogen filled) tires, new radiator, s.s. exhaust, belts, hoses, plugs, plug wires and all 4 corners-have had all brake related items replaced. I did have to buy a battery though. Anyways was going to try and flip for a few bucks, but have been having more fun drivivg it a the present time. Rims to be changed tomorrow, going with a 235/60F and 255/60 R on a set of ARE rims I have had sittin in the garage, Stock steering wheel removed-kept hitting knees and removed the door dentguard strips.

Wow, she's a beauty. Clean. Nice find. By the way that's a Brougham (exterior "limo" lights, padded power seats, among other goodies). 😉
 
Sweet looking ride....WE would love to know how much you got it for 🙂, anyways...I say keep it..
 
Nice! I would keep it....
 
Auction hammer fell at $650, another $65 for buyers premium, cheapie Wally-World battery, Pa. emission and inspection, transfer, tax and title=Less than 1k cash. Yea, I'm a happy camper. New tires today ran close to $450, but should be good to cruise for at least 2yrs. Deals can still be had. Thanks for the positive responses. Can anyone help me on the color and the code for it, Thanks
 
Damn that's a awesome deal! i paid 500 for a decent roller recently and that's without a title.....which i will end up parting out :| I would definitely keep it and cruise it then.
