I don't know how much actual "building" I'll do to this thing but who knows. It's definitely a neat car with good bones so you never know what could happen.

So a few months back I was involved in an accident which totaled out my Saturn. Ever since then I've kinda been lost with what to do about a DD. On a temp basis I tootled around in a Corolla and I found out quick that I hated that thing and it had virtually no redeeming qualities. Wasn't even all that great on gas mileage so I sent it on down the road. Well, I stumbled across this GTP. It does have about 200k miles on the clock which is about 10k miles a year since new but it has been nicely maintained during that time. Overall, it's in very nice, clean shape and all the seals are super dry. The only thing that needs attention is the front hubs and after winter I might handled some rust on the rockers that is currently being hidden by the ground effects but other than that it's just a solid, stock GTP that does what it's supposed to do and everything works like it should.

On to the pics....

I agree. I think who ever owned this before me probably babied it like I do my wife's burb. My 07 burb has 220k on it and the interior is just a clean as this GP with regard to how the leather and carpets are. The dash is dusty and the windows need attention but it's been sitting for a couple of months so I think that is why. :)

My father in law had a '93 Bonneville SSE for a company car back in the day. Surprising how fast a supercharged V6 was back then.

I drove a 2 door version of that car a few time.
Definitely faster than I thought it would be.

I would go ahead and change valve cover gaskets, fuel injector o-rings and change SC fluid and coupler (this job STINKS...Literally). If you have questions, www.w-body.com. There's a few other GMSB members over there.

X2.

I also recommend making sure that the air filter box is clear of debris.

Well, I tried signed up for w-body.com but I didn't pass some security check when I answer their question of what is 2+2. Apparently it did not want '4' so I guess that site isn't for me or i'm just a bumbling idiot (possibly both are true LOL) :)
