    This was my day yesterday.


    Found a 2000 Daytona 500 Grand Prix GTP coupe, with 1 registered owner, and just UNDER 54,000 KM.


    It was a 1000+ km round trip, including a blown tire on the trailer...On the bright side, I got a tick over 16mpg with the 6.0 with the CC set on 118 KPH. Trailer and car weight was right around 6000 lbs per the scale we drove over on the way home from Edmonton to Lethbridge.












    Not really planning on modding it. Likely just springs, AGX dampers, headers and CAI and maybe a pulley. I'm planning on keeping this one as my summer DD for a good long time.

    Sweet! I'm in Coaldale.

    As for price, I paid $7k. Probably a bit high, but the car is absolutely cherry, and I wanted it!

    Welcome to GPF!

    Nice car, I would say 7k is a fair price.

    Not likely, it's sitting in my driveway. I don't have plates/insurance on it yet. It was in High River last night on the way home from Edmonton though. At about midnight, on a trailer behind my Silvy with the hammer down
