Turbo Grand Prix's Lost To Cash For Clunkers Program

[RollingRock213]

I'm not sure if any of you saw the numbers on how many TGPs and TSTEs were traded in for the "Cash for Clunkers" program, but the numbers according to http://www.cars.gov/files/official-informa...in-vehicles.pdf are as follows:

1989 Grand Prix Turbo - 1
1990 Grand Prix Turbo - 3
1990 Grand Prix STE Turbo - 5

In my opinion these numbers are pretty high, especially for the STE turbo.  I was surprised to see our cars on the list.  Hopefully these cars were rusted out and were in no way of repairing.  Just thought I would post this somewhat interesting information for everyone.

There was also a Buick GNX and an 89 Turbo Trans Am as well on the list. IDIOTS!

Some people have no concept of collectability.

TSTEs didn't have HUDs stock.

TSTEs didn't have HUDs stock.

I thought the TSTE's just didn't have huds as standard equipment(?).

On the plus side, these cares are more rare.
