I still like just looking at it when I go to my parent's house. My dad has fixed a few of the issues I never got to (cracked wood trim inside, one of the window rubbers replaced) and added Girodisc 2-piece rotors to drop some weight and an upgraded intercooler. He's wants to mod it a bit; LSD, upper pulley, tune, headers. Nothing crazy. I see VRP sells a Whipple-kit for the car which looks pretty nice but may be beyond what we want to do.

It's a great German muscle car. Rides super smooth, handles decent enough, and even stock just has the smooth low end torque shove. Picture from the day pops bought it from me.

Sigh, miss my G55. Engine sounded so good.

Wow! Why would you sell that? I’d be buried in it lol. Love the G55 and this pic is my favorite

Underside was rust free but hidden up in the cowl and window frame was a crap ton of rust because of the sunroof.

Very common issue.

Whole dash and electronics would need to be pulled to fix it. Traded it for a Scat pack.
