    Good Bye Grand Prix, Hello...

    First Gen... My 19th vehicle is awaiting to be titled as I type... I took a 700 mile roadtrip this weekend to deliver the GTP to its new owner and pick up a present to myself... Fehls 95 Grand Prix SE... used 71 gallons of gas, averaged 10 MPGs... Thank you John (GP1138) for helping load the GTP up on the trailer... With it being lowered, we sure had a hell of a time



    Its rained and snowed from Dayton to Pittsburgh





    Ramp setup


    Mikes new car



    Hanging out at Nunzis place, picked up some woodchuck and admired his rockauto magnet collection



    The owner of Nunzis Lodge and Suites also soldered my tow mode wires as they keep breaking in the column... Thanks again dude!! The other pics are just getting ready to hit the road and how dirty the truck got on the trip







    Then I admired this beautiful Euro thats for sale



    Roadtrip home pictures... I was able to go 65 on the way home which means I could tow in 4th instead of third for better MPGs, the other truck/trailer combo you see is a Ram SRT10, looked beautiful







    This is my housing complex as seen from I80... The second picture is the Regal as seen from the hwy



    And here is how all 3 sit... The GP is getting titled and driven for a couple days, then I am making arrangements to keep it in a garage to fix it up the way I want it

    What are your plans for the GP? Just fixing the rust so it's all good to go, or any modifications?

    Im just fixing small cosmetics for now on the GP... The Regal is going to be going under the knife and wanted something that runs and drives as I lost all interest in the GTP while it was tucked away in a barn... Mike gave me plenty of spare parts to keep me busy for a while on it... I wont touch the rust

    Z34guy, I have owned a 1.5 gen


    Two more issues came up today... The drivers door wont unlock with the switch or keyless entry but unlocks manually just fine... And the security light stays on... Maybe because I have been using the remote start quite a bit?

    The drivers door lock has done that as long as I've owned it. It annoyed me and i tried fixing it a couple times. I gave up. It actually WILL work sometimes, usually in very cold weather. I don't usually lock my cars unless I'm in a shady area or something valuable is in the car, so it never bothered me too much.

    The security light comes and goes as it pleases. It just started doing that in the fall.


    Which key are you using more? The original GM one or the Ilco copy?
