1991 Pontiac Grand Prix Richard Petty Edition "Very Rare" 1 of 43 made Here is your opportunity to purchase one hard to find automobile. I purchased this rare car back in January of 2006 with the intention of holding onto it for the increased value potential, and Richard Petty was always my favorite Nascar driver. The story I received is this car was personally handed to the original owner by the King himself. That lucky guy won it at a Biscuitville restaurant in Virginia. As that story goes, there were only 43 of these cars designed at Petty Enterprises in respect of the King's Nascar number 43. You could only win them at one of these restaurant locations throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Every winner was personally delivered their winning car by Richard. I have pictures of the King giving the keys to the original owner of this car. He in turn gave it to his daughter at that time, and she drove it until I made the purchase back in 2006. But, I just got off the phone with a wonderful gentleman that had some further insight on the history of these cars. Apparently there may only be 22 of these cars in existence. His wife had won one through a Pepsi promotion where she found the word CAR under the bottle cap. Her lucky find was the day before the promotion expired, and her car was told to be only the 22nd car produced. She was invited along with all the other winners to a race at Darlington where all the cars where able to drive some laps together around the track with Richard Petty and Dale Ernhardt present. The future will only tell how valuable this car will become. I'm not asking an exorbitant amount of money for this special car, so take advantage of this prime opportunity. I can't tell much about the way this car runs and drives, because the only time I drove it was the day I picked it up from Virginia and made the trip home to Wisconsin. Although it handled the mountains with ease, and handled the road nicely. The only thing I've done to it was put a new battery in it yesterday. I would say that all the fluids should probably be changed as it has been sitting for the 6 years of my ownership. I had always intended on going through the entire car, so it would maintain its collector value. At 20 years old this car receives collector car status in the state of Wisconsin, but I know some other states make a car wait until it is 25 years old. These promotional cars, whether being 22 made or 43 cars made were all done alike according to what I've been told. Petty Enterprise high performance modifications, include the suspension, and the Richard Petty edition striping kit on the awesome ground effects. I could not see any sign of any rust issues since it was a southern car. This is really a solid piece of muscle car history. This car is very close to all original as far as I can tell. What you see in the pictures is what you get. The owner told me that nothing was tampered with over the years, so that makes this car that much more valuable. It wouldn't take all that much to make this car pristine again. It has all country highway miles, and the woman I purchased it from took very good care of it. She only sold it to buy another horse. It has a 3.1 Multi Port V6 with fuel injection. God forbid anything would ever happen to the King, but if something did I would tend to believe that the value of this car would increase ten fold. I possess the original title from when this car was first registered, but the previous owner put my name on it. In Wisconsin I can get a title issued the same day in my name, or I can release this original title, as shown in the pictures, with a form that states that I never took possession. That would allow the next owner to either keep the original title or place it in their name at their convenience. I will leave that decision up to the winning bidder, and if need be have a Wisconsin title sent directly to them in my name, but the original title would be gone for good. This car has incredible investment potential. I will answer any questions you might have in explicit detail. I pride myself in answering every question with the utmost honesty. Please only bid what you are willing to spend. This extremely rare car will be selling at no reserve. Long live the King! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
