I've got a 1980 El Camino (this post concerns 5th Gen El Camino's as a whole), and when I ask "handling/suspension" questions , I get g-body generic answers. The "slight differences" of the El Camino are never addressed in talks (slightly longer wheelbase, slightly heavier front to rear weight...

My wife just finished drawing up this years Christmas cards (this is the fourth year she has done this with a different picture each year). So, here's a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years card for all my friends here at GBF! Doug

Would this be a blast to drive or what??! Doug

The spring rates, shocks, sway bars, and tires of the day (the musclecar/classic cars era) left alot to be desired but at least they're easy to change. I've never heard a good reason why Detroit and Dearborn designed much of the geometry the way they did---they certainly knew better. But if you...

Finally started the build/rebuild of my '80 trucklet. My Grand Am ST (Sport Truck). After alot of years here in Michigan, and being parked outside for most of those years, I wanted to see how bad the floors were. I started by taking out the bench seat (the seat mounting nuts were rusted, with...

Grandamman has the article on his site! I found the article (Popular Hot Rodding, Aug.1978, pg.66) and thought it was cool! 1978 Grand Am CA ("California" maybe, because Pontiac liked naming its car after places in California) 3785 lbs. Silver Mist with gold striping Special: springs, shocks...
