Thread: New 98 GTP owner

Hey guys. Just purchased a 98 GTP today. Love it. Came from a 87 Trans Am GTA so loving the cool features this car has to offer. I am the second owner. On the higher side for miles at 170k but doesn't look or run like it. Whoever had it really kept up with it, it seems. Only paid $1700 for it. There are a few things not working like the HUD isn't coming on, the AC blows from the defrost only. Can't wait to learn everything about the car and get acquainted with this forum. Here's some pics of my car.

Much appreciated. Any direction I should head as far as the heads up display? Is there a on-ff switch for it?

This is how my switch looks. I put the dim dial all the way up and still nothing.

Forgot to update but I fixed the HUD! I followed I link that someone posted on here about fixing the eye on the board. Apparently resoldering it does the trick and it did for me. Works great now.
