That Grand Prix seems like a dealer made a mistake when ordering it.
Who buys a stripped down personal luxury car?

Good point. Plus, if you're only going to add six options, why would Cordova top be one of them?

80 Turbo Trans AM pace car at $2500 BIN in Florida. Has new floor pans, so someone put some work into it. Ad says the engine is "almost" running... not sure what that means. These cars all came with power steering, power windows, power locks, cruise control, AM/FM Delco radio with cassette, tachometer, gauges, WS6 suspension and four-wheel disc power brakes. That's a lot of options for $2500. The ad says the car only has 53K miles on it.

A word to the wise
Ive always said that northern cars rot from the bottom up
and Florida cars rot from the top down.
That hood is a good example of what happens when you cover with a tarp
when average humidity is 90%.....Swiss cheese

Must be a story here. Body and panel alignment look great. Original interior seems unexpected and unusual to see. It's a striking car.

Please explain the mess at the rear bumper if you say panel alignment is great.

[Shiny]

I agree with you. Rear bumper is clearly a mess, and lots of other weird things. That's part of the story that doesn't make sense. By panel alignment, I'm looking at gaps... hood to nose, nose to fenders, doors, valances, even the trunk gaps look great. Rockers and trim are straight. No bulges or rounding near the back of the front fenders/doors where rust repairs often go south. To me looks like a very straight and well-aligned body with a lot of unexpected defects in, out, and under the hood. I could never afford that car in any shape but $99K does seem like a lot to ask, let alone expect. I do like the color though!

Well thats a new one on that 70 Judge

Beyond the Ford Blue paint, and the glass fuel filter, take a look at the second alternator bracket. Here I thought they mounted to the thermostat housing bolt.

It is beyond me how many goons paint their engine the wrong color. Not a day goes by I spot one with an incorrect color. Truly unbelieveable. Such a fail.

goons-LOL

Door to front fender gaps look a little big to me.

As mentioned previously, nice car with what appears to be good bones, but when see the obvious poor workmanship, it makes you wonder about the stuff you don't see.

No way would I buy a car by pics only. I've made that mistake before. Pics just don't show all the bad stuff.

I've bought three cars sight unseen off eBay, but these were project cars and all turned out great. Some of my friends that bought cars online had a lot of hidden stuff in them and got screwed. I guess keep the bar low and you can only be so disappointed.

87 Fiero Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster Kit car with a 350 SBC. I used to dream about these cars when I was 14, only the one I would make would surely be better than the lesser skilled... never happened. I would love to own this car. $40K in NJ. I like how they didn't put Lamborghini logos all over the interior... that always looks like shat. I'll bet this this is fast as hell.
