    2002 First week production of the last model year. Ordered in Aug. 2001 as soon as production started for the 2002 run.

    All options except traction control and 3:23 performance rear end. Instead it was offered with a 3:42 posi. Later reinforced the 10 bolt rear end with a girdle cover during a service.
    It wears Bright Red Paint (code 81) with Camel interior. Other options include 12 disc CD changer, Hurst shifter & linkage. For the final year GM took out all the stops and threw everything else in with the Trans AM.

    At times I do kick myself for not ordering the convertible. Red & Camel was the most rare of the orders, with 14 or 15 Red & Camel convertibles.. My original intention was to use it as a daily driver, but never did. Instead I chose to keep driving the old Chevy and park this in the garage and preserve it. It still has only 17k on the clock and still wearing the original rubber.

    Thanks for the welcome folks.

    I did some searching about here and found some good stuff! I had been told about a cabin air filter on the GP, well I found it. Along with about 3lbs of dirt
    Cleaned the filter with some compressed air and made a huge difference. Next trip to the auto parts store I'll pick up a new one.

    Also thinking about improving the air flow from behind the driver headlight into the air box. The type of mods I like are the ones never seen and keep a certain stealth look. I'm not looking to make major changes to the car, just simple ones.



    The only changes to date are tinted windows and K&N filter. It's the base model GP with the drivers package option. Power driver seat and the upgraded wheels. The rest is all the usual stuff.

    A few years ago I started running Lucas treatment in there. And noticed a change in engine characteristics, while sitting at a traffic light (foot on brake and in drive) now the engine has no noise inside the cabin or any vibration. Also I noticed a difference in milage. From 20 city / 27 highway to 22 city / 30 highway. The original objective was to keep the cylinders clean and carbon free, and prolong the life of parts with injectors and fuel pump by adding this lubricant.

    Lucas Fuel Treatment : Lucas Oil= - Lucas Fuel Treatment

    Note: The engine oil during this test had remained the same 10w/30 Mobil 1. Tire pressures also remained the same.

    Here in the southwest our fuel is crap, they add 10% alcohol to help keep our air clean. But also in doing this it shortens the life of fuel pumps. I'm sure the newer pumps are designed for this, but I had changed several on my old Chevy. I figure why risk it. The alcohol also absorbs moisture and I believe this is a problem with some drivability issues. I like to avoid the pitfalls of issues and prolems.

    I had thought about that. But my last car was a red Chevy and figured the GP would sit outside much of the time. Keeping up with paint with color in the desert takes a bit more time that what I have. Wax here does not last long especially the natural waxes. Synthetics last a bit longer but still still never long enough.
    I did have thoughts about black, but it's far too hot in this climate and the car would always looks dirty. Park a car for 1/2 hour and it's already covered with dust. Silver hides the dust and dirt factor.

    Thanks, that is something I built. I did not buy it that way. I got lucky and found the car here in Tucson (after a 2 year search), parked in someones garage for 13 years. It was all original and matching numbers. PHS documents showed it was built in the first week of production of the 1st model year. I was happy to find a car with all the parts there, and it had not been abused. The original V8 (326ci produced from 1964-1967) still had manifolds and a single exhaust. After 20 months and 2200 hours of scraping, cleaning, painting, refurbishing, wiring and heaps of mechanical work it was finally complete. It was a 2nd full time job for a while. And a very dirty job at that too!
