Hello everyone,
It's been some time since I've visited this forum, even longer since I went to w-body. Things have changed a bit since I've been gone, I see. Some of you may remember me.
How has the community been? Has the TGP following increased at all in recent years?
I still have my original 89, it's been sitting since 2004 I think, I did pull it out of the garage last summer to move it to a new storage location. I still have a lot of parts and things strewn about, I just moved my stock wheels in the garage today, and my brand new never installed front valence panel I've been storing, so I thought I would drop by the forum. I sometimes think about that low mileage TGP I bought and sold to a kid here in town, I remember seeing it traded in at a dealer in Massachusetts, I think I recall he traded it for a trailblazer or something... :icon_cry: Anyone know where that car is these days? I think I sold it with 42k miles or something ridiculous like that.
I have given some thought to unloading my original car, but it's a difficult decision, as it was the first car I bought with my own hard earned money. I would like to get it up and running again sometime, but the transmission is bad and I don't have time to complete the 5speed swap on it. Priorities change, other cars and trucks and bikes take up my disposable income these days. I now have Saab 9-3 2.0T, the interior reminded me of my TGP actually. I also have a 94 Toyota 4Runner that received a swapped 96 3.4 L 5VZ-FE motor, and slapped a supercharger on top of that.
I find it funny that I can still google search "1989 Turbo Grand Prix" and see a picture of my car somewhere in the mix. Brings me back a ways, and I'm not even that old yet. I see some familiar names on here, along with some new ones. Glad to see the community still lives and that you guys are still keeping the TGP alive and well.
Take care
Where in MA was it?
I seem to remember a 42k car popping up for sale recently. I can't recall where.
Yup I remember that one. Ken bought it from you and shortly traded it in on a trailblazer. I have not seen that one reemerge as of yet. Glad to see your still around and a TGP owner! :icon_biggrin:
ken took some nice pics of that car ... thing was clean as heck
