ya that’s a ford color imo… gt350 etc very close to Wimbledon white

For reals - at least one dealer likely took a bath on this one. I'm sure if it got down to mid 100s someone will give it a go but most likely it'll continue to pass from one dealer to another.

Magnum (357) sat for sale in Massachusetts in 2019-2020 for over a year and a half @ 157K with no takers. Not sure if there would be any in this market at that price. I guess it just takes the right buyer.

1 of 1 that just perpetually looks like aged PPF . . .

The only way I'd take that cream colored car is if it had high contrast everywhere else, even the windows would need to be tinted and I'm not a fan of tinted windows on GT cars. Dark wheels, paint the calipers black, and get rid of any thing else that's silver, which I don't think there's any of that color on them to begin with.

Doesn’t need tint. Wheels, uprights, and blades in black would go a long way.

There is some history of this car on the forums already it seems.

My tired eyes can't tell but did they put the pccbs back on? It had steelies at one point. I dunno -- at that price i think it might actually go fairly quick...history be damned. It seems like it has come back somewhat cosmetically at least from the shape it was in on the Pcarmarket offering some time ago.

Apparently the deck lid and frunk are not OEM parts? ... someone that knows what they are doing just needs to lay eyes on it and drive it. If Grand Prix were smart they would disclose everything they fixed and has been fixed in the "right" way and that thing would move... it's the "mystery" of it all that scares people. I think someone should go in there and offer $185 and call it a day.

I think you're spot on. If a dealer shows full transparency and presents the car in a "before and after" way, highlighting the makeover, I think that will broaden the prospective buyer pool. Outside of the engine/ tranny (condition which is unknown) the cosmetic things seem to have been addressed or can be addressed properly with not much effort. Obviously a hassle but if the price is right, it'll be worth it for somebody.

Problem is that the work was done 5+ dealers ago so the history is gone at this point.

The other issue with this car is that it was claimed to be nearly a full cup car conversion at one point. Not quite sure what that means, but it was definitely extensive and when put back to stock originally they did a half a$$ job. This makes me question what kind of maintenance program it was on during that stint. Would be really interested to see a full PPI, over rev report, etc. To feel really comfortable I would also want the cylinders scoped to check for scoring since there might have been such heavy use.

At $199K the question is whether it is worth it to catch a falling knife in the current economic climate. It is not out of the question that clean cars could hit mid to low 200's in the next year or so. JMO
