Some Bonneville's and Grand Prix's

Post by olblueeyesbonne »

I think I may have posted one or two of these before but here's a couple others -obviously I'm copying from a post on another forum. ;)


I have a few pics here, in order that I took them over the past couple weeks.

Special Edition GTP coupe with my 40th GTP coupe:
Image

My 02 SSEi, 1 of my 2 identical 99 SSEi's, and the 40th again:
Image

SD lip and F1 hood installed -oh, and those Blazertech 3200's burnt out in less than 2 weeks from NEW, and less than a week later had holes in the lenses (all highway, not gravel roads):
Image

GXP wheels and brakes installed (Bilsteins have been in since last July)
Image

Everyone sing along.... "Red Solo Cup... I fill you up..."
Image

GXP pedals, don't ask why I haven't gotten a more fitting set of floor mats yet....:
Image

Tint and debadged:
Image

White/carbon fiber gauges, carbon fiber/leather steering wheel, blue LED backlighting on DIC display/steering wheel controls/HUD/headlight switch/pw/pl/pm switches/fog light switch:

Image

Dad & Mom's toys: 1953 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe Newport in driveway (and rain :eek2: ) and 1956 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday 4-dr hardtop in the garage.
Image

Better shot of the 56 Olds -still needs the new carpet, door panels and rear seat (all in dad & mom's basement) installed:

Your collection is astounding. I'm really loving that GTP with the GP GXP wheels. It looks amazing.

An impressive fleet!

I love your parent's classics too. The Oldsmobile is especially stunning to my eyes.

Nice collection!

That GXP steering wheel really needs to stay in a bonneville though :) J/K Looks great in there!

Thanks for the comps everyone!

Only one of my 7 cars that looks the same after last night is the GTP Special Edition -the rest were pretty well obliterated with golf ball size hail. I had insurance on my 99 & 02 SSEi's until last week when I decided since I haven't really driven them lately I'd drop coverage vs pay $50/mo on each for full coverage.
So my only car with insurance was my GTP Special Edition and it was 40 miles from any hail.
Two weeks ago I had the lr brake hose on the GTP SE was rubbing on the rims and blow out. I replaced and made sure it was routed so it wouldn't rub again. I checked the rest and made sure they were fine.
The RR brake hose had a good 3" clearance from rubbing......... until today....

Fortunately I heard it rubbing when I pulled in my driveway -40 miles from my shop/tools, but at least I have the ZZP braided lines here

Oh man, sorry to hear that! Hope you can get them resolved and back to their original condition. Luckily I have never had to deal with a hail storm, best of luck with it all!
