    Here is the add though it sounded a little to good to be true but figured well **** il give him the benefit of the doubt.
    1997 Grand Prix GTP Partout/Sale

    So I offered to trade him my 87 Z28 he sounded like he knew what he was talking about over txt message assuring me the only thing the car needs is the harness hooked up that's it. so we decide to go ahead with the trade but night after night he was working. He is in midland the car was in fenton about a hour and a half away from midland. So I finally get frustrated waiting so I tell him it now or never and he says ok il have my girlfriends dad rent a tailor and go to fenton pick up the car and bring it to you. I was Like sweet sound great lol.
    So I wait all day finally a truck and trailer pull up I got out side and here sit a grand prix completely tore to pieces motor was not even siting under the hood right everything was ripped out motor tranny were covered in old leafs and oil lol. The exhaust is sitting in the back of the truck the dash and interior all jammed in the trunk. This car was a mess with no apparent sign of have ever being built. I laught and say to the guy have you ever read the add he posted the guys like no, so I pull it up on my phone and was like take a look, The guy reads it and just got PISSED was like you dont want it do you. I said nope sorry and off he went.

    I really just don't understand why someone would waist the time and money to try and get over on something that obvious. Haha I wounder how much girlfriends daddy likes him now or maybe he was in on it to dunno.

    Also, no one trades a turd gen for a W body.

    Ever.

    So... You passed up trading a Turd Gen for a 97 Grand Prix because it was a POS

    Did you miss the part where it said it was a 97 GRAND PRIX?
