    Alriigt, im new here thought id post up some pics quick and see what you guys think so far. this is my 01 gtp special edition. the hood scoops are factory! they came in white but black is so much nicer on a white car. you can see the chrome rims were factory special edition, the tires were brand new, so i kept them, the second set of rims i got winter tires on. i havent done much to it...yet! lol i want to do a cold air intake, u-bend delete, and a few other things. it just broke 77k miles. and thats about it.
    let me know what you think!
    (i hope the pics show up larger than they look....if not...sorry)
    (and btw its the 75th anniversary eddition)

    "A few facts about the 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix Special Edition:

    There were 4,607 Special Editions produced (both GT and GTP trim levels, but no way to determine how many of each) for 2001. The process includes taking an incomplete Grand Prix, sending it to an outfitter, and then completing it back at the plant. No real SET and EVEN number was used because what they do is set a range for production (say 4,500 to 4,600 Special Editions), and they'll get somewhere in between depending upon availablity of materials among other variables. Of course, demand for the Special Edition can cause others to be made as a special order, which might explain the 7 extra. At the time I received this information (Larry Pry, Pontiac) there were still 65 BRAND NEW Special Edition cars on dealer lots (03/01/2002).

    There is no method to determine what "number" you have. The VIN can tell you the date your car was made and what number your car is out of the total number of Grand Prixs built, but no way to determine what number Special Edition you have."

    Dealers usually did to add a little to the price. The GA was the only car with them from the factory

    The Grand Am GT was indeed the only car to receive the 75th Anniversary badges at the factory. However, dealers were purposely given the badges to stick on to any and all cars that met the "criteria". Basically, to celebrate the milestone, Pontiac offered a "75th Anniversary Package" in 2001 for their entire line up, though I believe only the Grand Am, Firebird and Sunfire had this actually listed as an optional package on the build options, and was designated by an actual RPO code (1SX). Doesn't really matter, because in essence, all this "special options package" was comprised of for any car was the grouping of popular options at a "special" price break....for a month. There was nothing mechanically, cosmetically or optionally different to set them apart from non-75th anny cars outside of the badges that were stuck on at the dealers discretion (except the factory installed GAGT badges). I'm sure a lot of those badges found their way on to random cars on the lots that were equipped with no such options package, too. In other words, it was just a weak gimmick for an anniversary "sale".

    So despite the occasional claims I've seen from people that don't know jack about cars who are trying to sell their Pontiacs with these badges, the "75th Anniversary" cars never were, nor will they ever be collectibles/worth more than non-75th cars.
    PREVIOUS: '89 Pontiac 6000 STE AWD (2/1376), '90 Pontiac GP SE McLaren Turbo (1/2749)
    '90 Pontiac Grand Prix STE McLaren Turbo (1/1000), '01 Pontiac GP GTP Special Edition (1/1341)
    CURRENT: '00 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (ugh...boring regular one)
