1990 Grand Prix LE, 3.1L V6, 136K miles.
Price = $500
It's pretty messed up, but still a good deal for the money. I bought it off my dad (my brothers old car). My younger brother got a 1994 GMC Jimmy, loaded. Pretty nice for a 9 year old SUV.
Rear suspension is shot. Get this, it only has struts in the back, no springs. Those are getting replaced ASAP. It has rust in a number of places, speedo is off because of the bigger tires. If you lock the car, you have to unlock it from the pass. side. The power door lock is busted. FUN FUN! oh well, as long as it keeps the miles off the Grand Am it's all good.
Now for the good car. Today I'm finishing up with painting the interior. I'm doing the fog panel and the gauge cluster. I ordered a Silver with red glow shifter panel and HVAC replacement last night. I was impressed with the silver with red glow fog panel one so I ordered the rest. I'm also ordering a Autometer Ultra lite Volt and Oil Pres. gauge later on today. So I'll finally have the gauge pod in after its' been sitting here for months.
I'll have pictures of everything in about two weeks I would guess. Since I bought this beater car, I won't be able to buy lowering springs for a while:( Cars are nothing but huge money pits:rolleyes: :D
