Hey Everyone, I came across this site in a google seach and I Decided to Register because theres alot of good info on this site and I like how the 88-86 Grand Prix is mentioned and info is available on here unlike a few other Forums Ive checked out.. Anyways I have a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix Se That I bought From MY Friends Father last year in Jan 2011, Ive had It a year now and Im just starting to do some stuff to it just to have fun with the car u know? lol.. Im gonan put some pics up later on
A little story about My Grand Prix and How I got it...
My friends dad is the Original Owner of the 95' Grand Prix. He bought it in Sept 1995 as a year end Clearence. The car was Made In January of 1995, so it truly was a year end Clearence lol.. The Car has been babied its entire life. Has Never seen a Accident, has never seen vandalism and has absolutly no rot or rust on the body and everything is Original to it except for the Transmission..The Trans Died in 2002 with 52,000 miles.
I Met my Friend When we went to middle school And since then Ive always wanted that car. I always liked how the Headlights were Recessed into the bumper and just the way the car and tail lights looked. Finally I got My license and I wanted that car sooo bad...He wouldnt sell it to me So I found another one In Queens that My mom Bought me for my high school graduation Present. It was a 1994 Grand Prix GTP with the 3.4L DOHC engine..Fully Loaded with everythingg, Sunroof, leather, Hud, Ext temp and fuel eco Gauge and the bluish teal color with 75k... I had it 6 months and the trans went, then a list of probs. so I bought another car and moved on...
Last year I was Walking in the Neighborhood with my mom and we would always pass My Friends house. And the 95' Grand prix I wanted soo bad since middle school was always sitting in the Driveway.. After many passes and seeing it sit, I asked my friend what his Dad was doing with it, and he asked his dad.. After a few weeks go by I run into him as me and mom are passing by and I ask him if he wants to sell it, he said " Me and my wife were thinking of Donating it, and if I dont do something with it soon shes just gonna call a tow truck to come get it.. I dont want to see the car go down like that" ... We talked a bit, I asked him how much, and we settled for $1,000.00 ... I payed him and took the car home..
The Exterior Color is like a hunter green pontiac calls " Dark Teal Metallic" , The Interior is Tan and it has the Gold Cross Lace Rims and the " aero Pkg" lol ... I bought it with only 80,700 miles in jan 2011 and a year later I think it only has 86,000 miles.. I try to keep the miles down and I Only Drive it every now and again...Its Crazy, the car I always wanted as a young stupid teen I Finally got, years later..
I started making alot of Youtube Videos of the car.. Alot of " how to" videos and videos of me Gutting the Interior cleaning it and putting it back in and various other things like installing a Factory HUD and Temp/trip computer.. I guess I see why it was a left over, it really didnt have many options, But Now it does lol.......Recently Ive taken a Big Interest In making the car more appealing and fun to drive, I stumbled across this site cause Im looking to get rid of its engine for a 3800 Supercharged V6, Lowering the Front end a inch or two, put some nice rims on it and get the Lambo doors for it...Im in debate with my friend about the engine because he tells me to Turbo a 3800 and dont go supercharger.. But, that will soon be a topic on here once I get settled in lol..
So anyways, thats my story about My GP and what I want to do with it. If anyone has any info on the engine swap or any Ideas please let me know. cause Im really interested in makin this car cooler then it already is..
