GRAB THAT CAR!!!
IS it the ASC version!!!
Restore that ride, and MAYBE try the turbo on your ride.
That car'll be worth some $$ soon!
Is it Red?

NO it will not. You will have to custom fab everything and switch computers. If you want the whole scoop on how the computer works in a Turbo email me and I will enlighten you.
Can you make it work, yes, but you would be better served by swapping ina 3.8 Turbo out of a GN or TTA

ASC (American Sunroof Corporation) was the subcontractor for building these cars. I think McCleaern (sp?) was the performance subcontractor. They did the engine work, other guy did the trim, etc!

Go to a newstand and find an issue of Hemmings. Look under Pontiac.
YOU MAY find an answer that way. MAY.
Not HP & such, but years made, price.

Well I saw one once that was a 5 speed. They dont hold a lot of value for some reason. Basically they are a GTP. They were not all that fast and were not that much differnt from a regular Grand Prix.
Another thin to consider is that it is a Grand Prix and not a Firebird or Camaro. his means it will not hold Value that well. It doesn't hold a Grand Name in the scheme of things. If you want to invest in a car like this, invest in a Grand National.
Though They are sweet cars and would be a lot of fun. A good conversation piece.
