If it's in Ohio it's almost close enough for me to consider buying. If you sell it that is. I wouldn't mind replacing my Lumina with something like this.

I'm certainly not opposed to selling it if it's going to a good home. I feel like I "saved" it from being someone's CL beater car, so I definitely wouldn't try to sell it there, lol.

I planned on taking it home to Ohio next week, as I find myself driving my C10 most of the time I'm not in the work truck. The car doesn't need most of the stuff my buddy bought for it (I bought him out of the deal BTW) so I guess I have more spare parts for my Celebrities. It does need a few things to make it reliable that I planned on doing while I'm home for a little bit. It needs a balancer, inner tie rod, trans dipstick tube seal, blower motor and two front tires. After that I'd drive it anywhere.

And it cranks excessively on a cold start and I don't care for that. It primes once when you turn the key, but I'm not sure if the pump runs when cranking. Like it has to build oil pressure first and give the pump 12v that way. But I think the gauge I bought down here is garbage. According to the crazy ass readings it gives me, the car shouldn't even run :shrug:

I love the car. Reminds me of my Beretta. I raced my dads Cavalier Z24 in my Beretta GTZ. They are really peppy cars for what they are, with that 3.1L V6. At one point in time I wanted to swap in the 3.1 turbo from what was it a grand am or something. Would've been sweet lol.

1989-90 Grand Prix got the 3.1 turbo, the Grand Am got the 2.0 OHC turbo. :)
