GXP is gone.

Post by repinS »

One pic, at the new owners' place.

It's been good, GXP. 2.5 years and 60,000km of trouble-free motoring, contrary to popular belief. May you serve your new owner well! I'll miss you.

^^^ I'm the same way. The reason why I have a G8, a Bonneville, and still a LeSabre - even though it doesn't run right now, just can't let it go.

Sad to see it go, Jerry, but hopefully it's new owners will be good to it. Just kind of wish I would have had to the chance to take a ride in it back at the Michigan Meet in 2011. But I did still get to see it in person! Still looks amazing!

You know, the funny thing is, I like EVERY other color the GXP came in more than black (which is what I had). :) So yours looked great.

It was a local buyer, but he's actually a member! His 2001 SSEi died - my hunch is long term damage due to a past failed LIM. Not sure on his username, he hasn't been active for a few years. I did leave the club stickers on the car and pointed him to resources we've got here.

PS: that headlight restoration trick is fantastic!

These was my spare set of headlights before, just horribly nasty. After is in the pic above. That stain didn't wash off at all, but sanded right off:
