    I used to gave a 1986 Grand Prix LE that I adored and held onto for years.

    There is no such model as a Grand Prix LE Brougham: LE and Brougham were two different trim levels, Brougham being higher.

    Also, seller is nuts thinking this GP with serious front end damage will bring anything close to $10k. :coco:

    The door gaps look pretty good though so there is that. I haven't seen sweet chrome wiper blades like that in 30 years. I do appreciate how he is just being honest and not trying to sugar coat anything so you can really see what a complete pile this thing is.

    Smokin', sniffin', huffin', lickin', eatin', drinkin', injectin', stickin' up his bum, etc. :90:

    "...it's a project...car needs a front bumper and grille, bumper holder bar on each side, and both front fenders need some straightening...The transmission line may need to be replaced, as it does leak transmission fluid. Vinyl Top starting to show signs of wear...Asking $10,000 or best offer...I'd recommend you have car towed. Salvage title in hand."

    He didn't mention the hood needing to be straightened (obviously)...or how there are rust spots starting to poke through the paint on the trunk edge and rear passenger side quarter...or the dented and detached stainless trim behind the passenger side rear wheel...let alone what rust could be lurking underneath the stainless rocker trim...or most importantly: how this thing more than likely has frame damage. I mean, look at how the doors are fully closed at the top, yet there is a huge, overlapped gap between the door edge and the rear quarter...on both sides. :90:

    $10,000 for a self-proclaimed salvage title-worthy project car with multiple, serious, bank account-robbing issues? Woohoo! Let the good times roll, baby! :bananaman: A $10,000 Buy It Now price for this heap is utter insanity. It's a shame that happened to it, but yikes.

    Maybe if he removes those butt ugly wheels he'll drop the Buy It Now price down to $9,500! There's hope yet! :bananaman:
