Thread: New 97 & 2000 GTP owner to site in Massachusetts!

Hello everyone!
Pumped to find the forum site! Im a proud owner of two GTP's
First one i got was a cheap find when i needed a car. so to my surprise I bought a cheap ($550) cheap 2000 GTP coupe,black, but had crazy high miles (297k) and rust just about everywhere under the car but hey, it runs like i dream... so i thought. After loving my GTP for about a year. Doing the basic tune up and re-place many rusted part... hubs.brakes,rotors,plugs,air intake, changed the charger oil. The car does have oil issues still and many other little thing. i know for fact i have ground wire somewhere because the inside lights only work sometimes and other things...But I will be doing research on this site to help with that stuff.




So my girlfriend car died. Leads me to GTP number two! and the one that Im already in love with more than the first. (didn't know was possible)
98 GTP.130k Coupe,dark green, ram air, cool air intake box,leather, was told many zzp upgrades. Not a bit of rust either!! all hubs, rotors,brakes and some other part where fixed. So gave my Black GTP to the girlfriend and now plan on trying to make this 98 my baby. Cant wait to see where this car goes and will really need the help from the Forum community!!





Will be posting new pics soon as i clean the cars up and wax them nice nice!

Yeah i was just looking for a cheap car. so miles werent something i had to worry about at that time. but im sure glad i found the GTP. i really found a new hobbie the day i picked up the 2000 GTP.

Welcome..I'm in West Springfield/Enfield. Can you get better pics of the hood, I'm thinking I've likely seen the car before. And if a white Regal ever tries to race you... don't do it. It's me and my car is slower than most. She puts on a good show while egging people on though.

I'm really liking that 98 GTP. Looks very clean, what did you pay for it?

Thank you man, I got it for a even 2K. I think i got a deal. still some little issues im working on but after that iv got a keeper i think.
Luv the White GT. Besides the black, I think white Grand Prix look smooth and clean. Did you tint your tail lights?

You got a deal for that price. Haha and yes I did, do they still look kinda red?

PS, there's a red intrigue in Chicopee (he's also slow but acts tough like me.) and he has a G8 as well. The G8, well..it's a G8 no more needs to be said. Then there's a light blue nearly slate colored 06 GTP from Holyoke, another good guy. Basically..there's plenty of guys around to hang out with.

No they look good. The ones i have on the 2000 are leaking/filling with water bad. i need to take the time to clean them out and seal them up. but after that i was going to try to tint them up like yours.

G8 are nasty. If i win any money that's at the top of my list, ago with the GTO, both 67-70 and the 06
Im in chicopee falls, right at end of memorial drive. Thats where you'll most likely find me. I will keep my eye out for trouble. I wish i had this car when memorial drive use to be real busy at night. But i look forward to meet up this summer. are there any meets in the area or anything fun going to get the car together?

I haven't had my taillights do that, but my corner lights on my headlights have condensation in them and it makes me so mad. I need to seal them too. And I ended up using three coats of spray tint on them, and you can still see the lights during the day and of course at night. Just don't over tint them.

there's often something happening...

Before I sell my house in Enfield, there'll be a motor swap or two happening.

starting friday morning

Wife isn't working this coming weekend....so keep that in mind.

That sounds like fun good times!! I took the pin strip off and waxed the green GTP and added the window rain guards. Also took pics underhood but only one would upload for some reason. so here is that. Im trying to get some new pics now that it looks nice. but with this rain im not sure when ill be able too.
So your really going to do a swap this weekend??

My woman asked for my time Saturday to prep with us hosting Easter. Erich.. why don't we do it next weekend. I'll work on whitey/help you out?

Hey Bill! Any motor/tans swaps going down this spring/summer? Love to tag along! Keep me posted please

I might car swap.. lol. If I do a motor swap.. I'll likely be learning a new platform on that swap. I believe all the swaps on 3800's are all done in this area. Although.... might be a trans swap happening soon on MeSoHorny's car
