    I realize this only accounts for 93 377 vehicles of the 142,346 you claimed were produced.

    But thats 93 377 more than you were able to account for.

    Based on this, the GTP is far from uncommon.

    However I still stand by the statement that in my area, they are uncommon.
    I guess you missed were I posted the info was from Don Keefe who wrote the book "Grand Prix
    Pontiacs Luxury Performance Car."

    The website you posted also says my car is a 1 of 1.

    I'm not saying the website is terrible or wrong just that I find it funny to hear a Grand Prix be a 1 of 1.

    Writing a book = you can't be wrong?

    Grand Prixs Of North America • View topic - ****Official Comp G package info page****By Bluejacket

    If this information from the thread is true...

    For 2004, there were 131,551 GP sold:

    GT1: 27%
    GT2: 52%
    GTP: 7%
    Comp G: 14%

    For 2005, there were 122,398 GP sold - numbers are probably similar.
    ...then ~1 out of every 5 Grand Prix's were supercharged. I would presume the supercharged option to be less common or rather uncommon at that point. But that's 2004.

    So a white 1997 4 door GT GTP option with ugly tan leather interior and a sunroof is a 1 of 1? That's almost hard to believe. Too bad it doesn't increase the value.

    Where did I post that? All I said is that I pulled the numbers from his book. Don keefe is a noted automotive writer and Pontiac guru. Could he be wrong when he did his research with the Pontiac history society-Possibly. Does it really matter-No. These cars will NEVER be "worth" anything.
