I grew up with these cars all around me used to detail a lot of cars back in the nineties and I've never seen a grand prix with a 4-cylinder that's the Quad 4 they have about 150 horsepower. There was an even slower version it was called the the quad o h c it was a single overhead cam version with a two valve/cyl cylinder head and had about 120 horsepower. I've been reading online and it says that the double overhead cam version has 180 horsepower well that's true but that's only in the high output version that was put into the Beretta GTZ and certain Cutlass calais. The regular Quad 4 the dohc version ranged from 150 to 210 depending on what chassis was put into. For 1990 that's impressive power for a 4 cylinder. There are really harsh really loud they pulled pretty good they're decent power not the Pinnacle by any means.

They were officially marketed there by GM Europe, with Euro-spec sealed beam headlights and standard rear fog lights. This one does not seem to be a Euro spec one, with the aero headlights and fog-less rear bumper. So probably an ex-military owned car.

Very cool to see it start up nearly right away after sitting twenty years in a small pond! Just needed a tap on the injectors, wow The poor auto transmission didn't want to shift up from first though and didn't want to reverse, poor thing is probably full of rust inside after sitting so long with no transmission fluid
Good job showing the water line on the wheels and the pattern of vegetation around the parking spot to put away any doubt the car was indeed there for long time.

I grew up with these cars all around me used to detail a lot of cars back in the nineties and I've never seen a grand prix with a 4-cylinder that's the Quad 4 they have about 150 horsepower. There was an even slower version it was called the the quad o h c it was a single overhead cam version with a two valve/cyl cylinder head and had about 120 horsepower. I've been reading online and it says that the double overhead cam version has 180 horsepower well that's true but that's only in the high output version that was put into the Beretta GTZ and certain Cutlass calais. The regular Quad 4 the dohc version ranged from 150 to 210 depending on what chassis was put into. For 1990 that's impressive power for a 4 cylinder. There are really harsh really loud they pulled pretty good they're decent power not the Pinnacle by any means.
