rockauto price $60 plus shipping. where do you buy it for $35? as i said i like the GTP but im not willing to spend very much money on something i drive in the salt. the passenger side took a deer hit a while ago. i never bothered to fix it neither will i. for $35 i could justify that but i dont want to spend sub $100. the car is also going to need tires at some point, and i will probably put 1 more set on this car before im through with it.

so how does a regal GS compare to a GTP? i really do like the bulletproof L67 what an engine. my two favorite engines, a 3800 or a small block chevy.

A Regal is the same, engine wise and everything, just has better interior and better features. Except they don't have HUD's .

well i know that the regal GS is the same mechanically which is why i like the idea of buying on. DO they rust less? no body cladding, isnt that was causes the grand prix's to be so much of a rot box, that plastic stuff holds all of the salt and grime against the metal. the tires im probably going to buy the same tires i bought for my camaro they a falken and i paid $95 per tire local price. they ride nice and hold the road well.

i fixed the exhuast im thinking it will last longer then its been lasting. i was using the exhaust repairs kits from the auto parts store, it was almost as thin as tin and the exhuast gases would burn through it. i replace it with some 24 gauge sheet metal that i had. its heavier gauge then that auto parts store kit crap. im thinking it will last a while. it sure isnt loud anymore and i already had the metal and clamps so i spend $0 on it. if it lasts it was a good cheap repair, if it doesnt then im not out any money. i really dont want to spend a whole lot of time underneath a car that is dripping crap on me and on the floor. i have a wood stove so i have heat but then all of that stuff starts to melt

i like 3800 powered cars for daily drivers and small block V8's for seasonal cars. we have a 99 bonneville SSE and a 2000 GTP. when i do buy something else its gonna be another 3800 car. my wife's bonneville is a north carolina car, very clean. it going to get krown treated every year, they claim in doing so it will never rust..... well i hope they are right but i dont know. it will slow it down no question. i would hope to buy a clean regal GS from down south, then i would have another car loaded with good drive-train parts.
