It is a real Daytona as it came from the factory in a limited edition of 2000. They made, i believe it was 5 real ones for the race itself and whether the general public ended up with those 5 or not i'm not really sure.Quote:

I'm am talikng with this lady in Coon Rapids about a 98 White 4 door GTP with 130k miles on it. She said the tranny blew two weeks ago and right now its in the shop getting a brand new transmission(with warranty) . So after the tranny is fixed she is going to give me call so I can come and look at it. It sound like a great car with every option for the year and only thing she said was wrong was the front bumper had a small crack and one blown speaker on the drivers side door. She wants only around 3400 for it and if the test drive checks out and I really like it, I will offer her like 3000 cash. :th_thumbsup-wink:

yea the chances of getting a daytona that actually saw a nascar track is slim to none... theyre pretty much all replicas.. whats ur point?Quote:

There was one for sale locally around me.. That's the first and only I've ever seen. Light bar, graphics, and all.Quote:

You van get the speaker out of a salvage yard somewhere close by. do check under the rockers for rust though and the passenger side floorboard for water....Quote:

The speakers and bumper dont really matter to me at all and she said there is no rust. So I hope it is out of the shop by mid week so I can go look and hopefully buy it.
Make sure to report back if you buy it. I've been looking to buy a 2000 or 98 GTP daytona car. It's been less than fruitful so far. It seems the ones i find have been butchered by some hacks who don't know what theyre doing.....Quote:

It will be a great car for me because I will be going to tech school for auto in the fall and then will have all the tools I need to fix and mod this car.

People de-badge these and do other horrendous things to them...
Oops. no need to copy and paste..
Heh heh, is there such a thing as a black Daytona 500 GTP? No. Yes, you can buy the decals through the Dealership or GMPartsDirect. They are Very, very expensive, & have 4 parts numbers. The parts numbers can be found by asking me, as GM dealers will not give out parts numbers anymore, & clubgp does not have these posted.:th_thumbsup-wink:Quote:

I ended up buying a sweet unmolested 98 Daytona GP from NJ. it should be here next week. The link is in this post at the very end. Thank's for your sage advice...Quote:

Why don't they just buy a silver GTP in the first place and we would have a lot more intact Daytona's. It just ruins the value of them. Also, as i mentioned in this post to another member i did buy an intact 98 Daytona....Quote:

Good info. I didn't know about the delete option on the stickers. Is galaxy silver exclusive to the 2000 Daytona? The blue color on the 98 is more of a guy color too. The 2000 Daytona has a slightly feminine look to it but i'd still buy one nonetheless...Quote:

I hope to buy one later this week. I have two people interested in my want ad on craigslist. That white car I told you about and this guy just emailed me one that has only 121k on it and was from az. If I get one we should maybe meet up and look at each other new purchases.Quote:
