Thread: Hi just bought a 99 grand prix gtp 2door

Hi
I was looking for something to buy in order to save miles on my old f 250 power stroke and a little smaller for everyday running.
I was at an auction last night and saw this car for a descent price and bought it.
It is a black 2dr loaded with pretty much every thing and it all seems to work good with 120,000 miles
The outside is really nice the interior is a little beat.
I use to have a 95 Riviera so I am familiar with the 3.8 sc engines.
I really liked the last one hope this one is as good.
Looks like this site is the site for these cars.
Thanks
Dave

Welcome to the forums!

I just joined as well, but quickly found there is a lot of knowledge here and many people willing to help out

also, got any pics of the car and how much did you give at the auction?

Depending on where the car is from, I would suggest checking for any rust issues, seal up the wheel wells, and rocker panels.

Those are the issues I have, and I've seen. =)

Oh, and find out what LIM gaskets you're rocking. Along with the coolant elbows. Switch to aluminum if need be.

Thanks for all the welcomes.
Intake gaskets have already been done.
I did that on my Riviera I know what that's all about.
It is an Arkansas car I cant find any rust at all.
That is nice to see. I just moved back here after 22 years of living in Minnesota.
