    Hey im new to the grand prix cars, and just picked up a 97 GTP.

    Its got alot of miles on it but i got a good deal and these motors last forever so no complaints yet.

    It was wrecked before but title stayed clean and the prev owner fixed the body damage and painted it so Iv got a fresh coat of paint on.

    I had to replace the front hub, ball joint and tie rod and sway bar end links. The car has been around a dirt road for the past 8 months or how ever long he said he had it so it was pretty worn. But after new tires and the above it drives pretty damn good.

    The cars got some rarity it was 1 of the 287 first production models (WD0) with a birth day of 1996-05-21

    And it came with the FE3 Suspension

    Along with my repairs i put in a custom 4' CAI and I ported the blower when I replaced the LIM gaskets.

    Before this i owned a 2 4th gen camaros, and now am building up my LT1 trans am thats almost done.

    picz of the car.
