If you mean the blue 4 speed, I'll let you have it if you ship it from the middle of my yard. The frame is turning into
Iowa dirt. Has good title and 2 good valve stem caps. :rofl:

How much? Wanna trade for a Cadillac? :lol:

I wish I had some disposable cash right now. I haven't owned a GA yet.

Yeah, How much? I do know that this 1980 has burgandy cloth interior, power windows, and virtually zero rust.
I used to own one "exactly" like it.

Randy, I'll throw in the tires, but I'm not quite done with them yet.

Just read an interview with Jim Wangers at Pontiac Online.com. Mr. Wangers said a 1978 white Lemans was provided to Motortown to convert into a Can Am (shaker, spoiler, & graphics). When the Can Am program was cancelled in 1977, the 1978 program ended as well.
In 1978, several magazines came out with an article about a pontiac prototype named Grand Am CA. Was that the prototype 1978 Can Am (posed question to Mr. Wangers)?
Mr. Wangers replied that the Motortown car was a Lemans with the Lemans front grills.

The whole interview by Pontiac Online.com was a very interesting read (Mr. Wangers IS Mr. Pontiac, IMO)!

I agree with" adam6640" that there was a 1978 Can Am prototype and (AFAIK) know one can say for sure what the CA stood for.

Randy, I've owned both of these exact cars. Same VIN and all on your black 80 and this white 80 :mrgreen:

I wouln't mind haveing the white one back. It is loaded with the exception of p/l and moon roof. Washington state car and is very clean inside and out.

I can tell you Kens blue 78 is very nice too. It was extremly nice years ago before he did the restoration and mods.
