Twenty Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 There is one very nicely kept '94-'96 coupe in my neighborhood and I keep trying to bump into the owner but never do. I've seen her driving it though, smoking in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbird232 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 There are a lot of closet w-body freaks around here, which is cool. When I worked at a quick lube during my forum sabbatical, I briefly worked with a kid who was completely apeshit about 9C1 Impalas. Had an encyclopedic knowledge that would make any of us ashamed. Another guy said he knew of a mint '93 GTP five-speed in a nearby town, and had been trying for years to get the guy to sell, because he had such a hard on for the LQ1. Lotta guys like us out there. It's just the cars that aren't holding up too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted2bass Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Best-kept Ws I see around here are invariably '94-'96 Grand Prix SE coupes. I believe I own the only GP sedan with a fully-lit light bar. Same here. My girlfriend sent me a pic the other day of a 95 GTP she parked next to. looked to be in real nice shape besides the thick covering of road salt:(. I cant remember the last time i saw a 88-93 GP coupe in nice shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Nightmare Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Mine is a 94 and I will tell you the aesthetic imperfections of it - the front bumper has some damage on the right side. The driver seat cover is torn. The carpet, while not perfect, is in good shape considering. Front and back bumper are not perfect cause I had to repaint them with spray. Other than that, you may find a few very minor things if you really look for them but I am quite proud of how mine looks. When I got it, I had to do some serious detailing, I just stuck it in the garage for a few days while I got to cleaning and fixing. It does have some problems like the AC was damaged at some point by previous owner or whoever. Notice on the one side the damage to the bumper. I fixed best I could but when I got the car that part of the bumper was just hanging. My friend has this 09 that is not in as good a shape and no he doesn't take care of things well. I will let these photos speak for the GP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow96SE Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I love the 94-96 Coupes, we currently own 2 in this household, however they're not really "nice". They look decent, but do have major flaws. Mine was in great shape until I started driving it for work, and it saddens me how bad I have let it get. But being my daily work driver, I don't have much choice. 1 thing I have noticed though, it is extremely difficult to find parts to fix it up, especially in my area. Most of the junkyards within a mile really don't have anything worth salvaging off of, especially interior parts. I have seen some really clean ones on craigslist/autotrader, but for the prices they ask, I can't really justify it over buying a newer vehicle. However, later on in life I would have no problem shelling out a good bit to have a fine specimen reside in my garage for the rest of it's life. I search craigslist nationally every now and then and find some nice ones still out there, so here's hoping there still will be in about 5-10 years. This is a fine example out of Florida: http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/ctd/2146174222.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMan Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'd be proud to be seen in that GP that's in Miami. Sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
