Have you ever seen a 78, 79 or 80 Grand Am? :shock:
If so, how long ago.
Pictures don't count. :wink:

Hey grandamman!

I've seen a few, a guy I knew in high school had one. I've seen a couple in yards here and there too, along w/ the occasional one still driving around.

My 4-speed came out of a '79 GA

Check out the photo gallery section, I've got some dealer lit from '79 and '81 w/ grand am pics and stats (yeah I know, pics don't count!) :wink:

Nice ride GP403. 4 speed too!!!
If you see any 78-80 G/A specific parts in a yard...please let me know!
Front end pieces like, turn lenses, grills, head light buckets etc.....whole cars....

I believe that your friend in high school did have one, but most people that say that also say "what the heck kind of car is that"? when I show them what a 78-80 G/A looks like..

We had one back in 78 that I drove, and I've only seen 2 others on the road, a four door and a two door that was always parked at the owners work site. :shock:

The interiors are similare as your 81...

How exactly did you paint your door panels???

Yeah they are kind of few and far between, thats for sure.... As for the door panels:

Very nice site, I didnt realize it was your creation.

'78-80 Grand Am's

Grandamman;
A new friend of mine has one for sale, a '78. It's all there with a touch of rust at the driver rear quarter. Someone installed cutlass door panels and seats. It still has the 301, although it needs some re-assembly. He's asking $1000.00, obo. White with the silver band. It's also missing the drivers side headlight bezel. The replacement floor and bucket seat mounts in my wagon, came out of a '79 that was in a local yard.

You've got PM. :shock:
I know of a few for sale, but none that are white/silver........
My luck, either Canada or the Left coast.......

Thanks for the post, ligoatpar
