1988 Pontiac Grand Prix review from North America
"This car is Totally kick @$$ Radical!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All that has gone wrong is I bought the car from a junk yard. It needed a motor because someone didn't know that they were supposed to put oil in the car. I replaced it myself in my garage. Quick, easy engine change. Costed no money.
Then I replaced the head gaskets because I forgot to purge the cooling system. My fault.
After this it was ready to drive in about a week after I got it.
General comments?
The car has been great so far. It's got 173000 and it's still running strong. It doesn't smoke and it will still roast the tires.
Don't crush 'em restore 'em.
