Back in spring early summer picked up 192k 04 Grand Prix GT2, typical trade in car, engine noise, maybe rod knock. Decent enough tires, dead battery, NEW Carquest cv axle in trunk and NEW fel pro oil pan gasket in trunk.
So just went over to get battery, was gonna take it to work, charge and test and possibly replace it. SCORE 3 yr free replacement Neverstart MAXX thats, get this ,2 yrs old.
So: 2004 Grand Prix GT2 $300

Actual cost of car $$$$$60.00
and after installing new battery so buddy can deliver it I was playing with different things, all windows work, even sun roof. and while messing with radio found AC/DC Dirty Deeds CD in player!
So UNLESS car is rotted beyond belief underneath, which from what I could see it wasnt I think I got a great deal so far, or lots of good parts for another body I find.
Now I have already bought a $73 GenV blower and one of the conversion intake manifolds so I can bolt to N/A engine without swapping in blower heads and got fuel rails with it for $100 plus some shipping.
Now if friend would get off his duff he has both power bond under drive pulleys and SFI std diameter all in same box. But he is dealing with flooded homes in certain states, Waiting for insurance then he was gonna let local FD have them for fire and rescue practice as they are all crap. He moved back farther north!
Now all I need are the idler pulley/stand and upper mount/coil bracket/tensioner to fit my 04 WITH a supercharger and some intake gaskets and I am ready to install different engine in my car.
