I hate to see these cars go to scheit, this one might never come back to life :(

It must be real bad since the guy selling it wont even describe it. Yo just tow it away. AS IS.

In some ways it looks better than mine. I'm just getting to it now. Now if it would only start. it will take its place in the barn for some engine work and tunning..

that's sad, I wonder why the stock intake and the drivers side dogbone are removed..looks like part of the intake hose sitting there in the bay...I'm willing to bet the front-end looks horrible = no frontal pictures...can't really tell if the valence is there on the front or not, I doubt it given by the way it looks...I couldn't get a engine that dirty if I tried, it amazes me at how some peoples engine bays look :oops:

Actually..mine was in MUCH worse condition when I found it. And I had to drive it 3 hours to get it home! :shock: It probably wouldn't take much to get this car looking halfway decent again. If I didn't have another TGP closer to me that I was looking at, I would consider this one. Hopefully someone gives it a good home....it needs one. :oops:

You can buy my TGP. It's in much better condition with mods! ;)

Hmmmmm..........not too far from me at all. Maybe 30 min. A dealership was selling a 3.4 4-door Lumina from Wheeling a few days ago. Never met reserve. A friend was interested, so we asked for the exact address so we could check it out in person. And while we're there........... :P

Couldn't hurt to have a 4 door AND a 2 door TGP. I'll decide what it's worth to me after I see it in person. If it doesn't look salvagable and the price stays low, I'll scrap the car for parts and keep the motor again.

I want that hood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

95GTP · October 07, 2003, 11:54:33 AM

Pics can be deceiving. Since I have started to get into mine I'm noticing alot more fcked up stuff, like the dead mouse (whats left of it) cooked on the lower intake, missing battery tray (rusted gone), torn to schiet wheels, under carrage rust from sitting.

that ones body dont look half bad either compared to all the MINOR dents covering mine.

OMG!!! Have you seen the feedback on the guys selling this car??? I asked him for an exact address to go see it in person and no response yet. Something tells me I won't ever be getting one, either. It looks like these guys are slime. They've sold cars with no titles, liens, stolen, etc. and kind of forgot to mention that in the descriptions. Hell, at least those other cars had descriptions! I'm not paying more than $500 for that thing and I'm not buying it at all if they tell me that I have to get the registration, title/doc fees, etc. through them. I have a feeling that car won't be worth much for anything but parts.

mfewtrail · October 09, 2003, 03:25:31 PM

I would give them about $300 for the car at most...I wouldn't even bid on ebay, they obviously run one of those shitty car lots on the outskirts of town type deals :oops: :wink:

90tgpblk · October 09, 2003, 03:31:25 PM

6000 I emailed a couple days ago for a address to go look and I have yet to here from them. If its in Wheeling its only a couple mins down the road from me. We shall see.

If somebody ends up getting this thing for parts, please let me know if you'd sell the wheels fairly cheap. I'm wanting to put a set of the 8 inchers on my SSEi, with a set of 245/55/16's to keep the stock tire height for speedo purposes. If I had the money, I'd buy the car, part the whole thing out and keep the wheels, but things are on the tight side right now. Anyway, let me know if this works for whomever .....

Thanks !!!!

Well, if I get it, I'm going to try as much as possible to keep from parting it out. I would love to have a 2 door TGP as well. But I'll have to see. It looks like it's in pretty bad shape. I'll keep all the motor and related parts if I get it and decide to part it out, the rest will be up for grabs. But I'd much rather see the car in person, first. 90tgp- let me know if they contact you. I'm not counting on it. :roll:

RareGMFan · October 13, 2003, 12:29:04 PM

Well, I'll get to find out first hand just how bad this car was raped....cuz I won the auction on it :D Now lets see how much trouble it's going to be to get it from these bastards. I gave up on receiving a reply from them, so I plugged their user name, which I figured was the business name, into superpages.com. Sure enough, I got an exact address and a phone number. When I called, they said it had a clear title and keys, but did not run (no, duh! Little hard for a car to run with pieces missing in the engine compartment!) and the only addition to the total is a $40 doc. fee. They are a towing company, so if it's cheap eough, I'll have them ship it to me. It's only 36 miles away. Otherwise, I'm not quite sure yet how I'm going to get it back. To be continued.....

No. I've got bigger plans. Can you say sleeper?
