Supercharged 3.8L, sedan.

This car was in fine shape and was the wife's daily driver until it lost all compression on #1 cylinder (this is a transaxle car and the cylinder in question is on the front side). There is no compression at all, but it does suck air in - I have not pulled the head but my best guess would be that it lost a valve. Given it's mechanical issue, it will not currently pass smog if you're in CA - it had passed smog about 2 months prior to failing however.

The body, transmission, and leather interior are all in very good shape - it's a desert car with ZERO rust. It has the HUD option. It has BFGoodrich tires with about 5,000 miles on them. Everything besides the engine works fine :rolleyes: and has been well maintained. The car has not been abused and I was stupefied by this failure.

Edit: The odometer is also broken. I've had the car since 18k, it stopped turning at about 95k - don't know why. The car has approximately 140k on it.

I've got 99 projects but this ain't one. We've got a baby on the way and we were thinking about a different type of vehicle for her anyway.

I found a few pics from within the last year on my hard drive. If you want more of a specific area let me know and I'll snap them in the daylight.

As you can see, the car has been debadged - this includes the "Grand Prix" on the trunk lid.
