jyones12 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hello are you still in contact with your friend who owns this Grand Prix? I am trying to track this down. My father was the original owner of it and sold it in 2004. I am trying to track it down and find out who owns it now. I tried to personal message you on here but I just created my account so it would not allow me to. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will attach some photos of it in a little bit if that helps you remember. the individual who bought it from my dad in 2004 was from Connecticut. About a year or two after he sold it to him that buyer sold it to someone else who I assume was your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Pics would certainly help. Back in that time we did work on many cars for a collector car dealer. Quick in and out stuff. Neither I nor my Son remember the car. I will ask the dealer if he has any memory or record of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may need to have the VIN ran and see who it comes back to now and where it’s at. Hoping it doesn’t come back as “Junked” but I know that may be a good possibility. As you can see it was showroom condition. So hoping it stayed that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Actually the help in finding it is that it is not showroom condition at all, but significantly modified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modifications are like a unique fingerprint. It will stand out over an unmodified version of the same car which might help in tracing its location.
