You read that right. it's been debated for years whether these were real (I say no) or just dealer option packages for the stupid.

As far as the 'myth busted', TGPs vins read as SEs and 96 GTPs read as SEs as well.

Not that it matters, it has a fucking 3100 :lol:

What myth? It only has the 6th Generation SS badges on it, and the Z34 front end.

It's not a Z34 front end. it's an LS front end with a Z34 front bowtie and body color trim. Z34 has a more pronounced lower front dam. And there's been a debate for a long while on the legitimacy of 1995-1999 "SS" models, having met 6 separate people who claim to have 5th gen SS models, despite the fact none ever officially existed. There's been a debate about it for years, despite the fact all of them so far have come up as LS models modified by dealers and sold to stupid people who prefer a badge over actual performance.

I didn't notice the lack of front air dam.

I love the 3-piece spoiler missing the 2 side pieces... classy :lol:

I did have a friend Ryan who's Dad had one of those "SS" models. It honestly looked nice. It was a real Z34 though with a body kit, fogs, and some SS vinyl. Pretty sure he got rid of it last year though. So they aren't all just LS models.

There are some that exist, but just as mentioned: dealer add-on sticker packages. But let's get back to the matter at hand: that car is a piece of shit. Not only is the paint crap and the car overall dirty, did anyone notice that random teal/ turquoise hood and spoiler? What? The back bumper looks like it's painted flat. The front bumper looks like someone backed into it with a hitch. What a beater. The Pontiac radio is a nice hasty touch to slap the car back together.

Edit. Whoops, the paint is just that bad that it looks like it's changing colors. Either that, or my eyes are bad or monitor is off. Tell me it doesn't look a little greenish?

the hood looks the wrong colour at the very least

question. I've never seen those rims before. Anyone know what those rims are from?

I'm pretty sure the hood and the "spoiler" are the same green and from a different car.

Look kind of like Olds Intrigue or Aurora wheels

But both the Aurora and Intrigue rims were 6 spokes. Those are clearly 5 spokes.

Must have fooled the dealer, or this thing would have been wholesale

They probably wanted it to look more like the new lip spoilers.

loved the blury ses light they try to hide. and buffed the hell out of the car and take pics in poor lighting and low so you cant see the green hood well.

The Olds 88 had a 5 spoke version of the Aurora wheels. Maybe they're those, The listing is gone so I didn't see them.
