My TGP finally got away from my ability to maintain it with the funds and time I have availible for it. Im getting a 94 GTP to replace it and hoping to sell the TGP to someone who will appreciate it and be able to bring it back to some of its former glory.

Details:
1990 ASC/Mclaren Turbo Grand Prix
red, repainted by previous owner. Tan leather interior.
139,000 miles
Jeff M TG160 performance chip
Ractive conical air intake on the turbocharger
mufflers removed and replaced with straight pipe
160 deg T-stat
newer PMIII
Recently rebuilt tranny (6 months left on warrenty)


What it needs:
front valence and left headlight assembly
hood needs some work
brakes pads on rear(front are done recently)
some paint on valence and front left fender
some paint on the rear bumper
strut


The car spun on me on the highway when I hit an oil-spill and sand combination from cleaning up an accident on a blind turn while going thru hartford CT. I spun several times and came to a rest by hitting the front left of the car while moving backwards, then bouncing off and kissing the rear bumper. The front took only cosmetic damage from what I can tell and I have been driving it since then. The radiator had a small leak from the impact due to the aftermarket fan I have on the car and its mounting hitting the cooling tubes. I fixed this by using Barr's stop leak, which i know is a hack job, but I had to get moving again without paying the $3k for a replacement unit from pontiac. It has been holding fine since. The car also has a problem with the steering column tilt in which it doesnt tilt and just flops up and down. I have rigged this quickly with a simple bolt in the mechanism holding it solid. The brake pedal also sticks and does not return all the way up and you have to kick it up whenever the brake is depressed. This is an easy fix involving a new brake switch, but I really dont want to put the effort being on my back and under the dash to fiddle with it. I also bent one of the rims in a storm last semester so I am using the stock wheels in the back and have lumina Z34 wheels and tires up front. I have the broken rim and it can be repaired for about $100 because only the lip is bent and not the rim. The tires are recent 245/50/16s from cooper and are H rated. I am using the other unbent front wheel as a spare right now in my trunk. The driver side seat has some wear and the left side-bolster is a joke but other than that the interior is pretty damn nice. THere is a small electrical problem in the car involving starting it. I believe it has to do with some of the underhood wires as they have become very brittle leading to the starter. I replaced the starter but still the car will not start when it is hot out and the car is hot about 50% of the time unless I unplug the front fan by reaching under the car and unplugging and then it starts. about 10% of the time I just have to wait it out until the car decides to start. Probably a simple solution but Im a graduating college student and dont have the time to deal with learning GM electrical theory right now. THe driver side door handle snapped but that is an easy fix that I am going to remedy with some "liquid iron" or just replace with a junkyard part. Other than that the car hauls ass still and sounds better than any other car on the road. I can smell fuel when I drive hard which I believe is something to do with the fuel evap system purging under the hood and into the TB.


I bought the car three years ago in maine off this board. It will make a nice project car or a pretty complete parts car for someone. I am not yet parting anything out as the car drives fine and I want someone to drive it off my property. Maybe if someone fixes it up nicely Ill buy it back in a few years after I get my MBA for a nice price

NEW PRICE


$1200

$1000 if you can get it off my lawn by this saturday night.



hurry!  Part it out if yout want after you buy it.

turbo has no endplay and boosts great.
IC is mint still and so is the plumbing
the PMIII was brand new on the car when I bought it three years ago and has not given me any problems ever, only had to replace pads and rotors.


I dont want to send this car to the junkyard.

Last chance.


first $1000 takes it.  no time to haggle on price.  $1000 gets you a running TGP with a fresh tranny rebuild and a strong motor, newish PMIII, and alot of potential.

if its not sold by wed night, its going on a flatbed at 7am thrus morning and going to the yard.

Come on, someone save this car!  If I wasn't in California I'd rescue it myself.

The front end damage isnt that bad at all.  Just some emphasis.  I was moving BACKWARDS when the front of the car impaceted.  Hard to fathom but i was spinning and then started sliding with the rear of my car facing the direction of motion.  The front of the car impacted the wall first and then bounced off PULLING on the bumper more or less and then hit the rear bumper but there isnt any damage there.  The impact bar is good, the impact absorbers under it are good but loose, but def not broken.  I got REALLY lucky here.  The hood is bent a little bit in the corner, but other than that is fine.

anyways, im sending the pics i got out to a few of you. Ill take more tomarrow in detail of the interior and stuff.
