Hi All, I am new to this forum and sorry I won't be contributing more but I am only here to see if anyone from the group is interested in the car. Long story short, I have sort of inherited the responsibility for finding a good home to my grandmother's car. It was purchased new in 1978 and apart from a couple of road trips when new, mostly it sat in the garage only to be taken out for inspection every year. Fast forward to now, it was inherited by my father who while he loves it, does not drive it and has asked me to find it a good home. I would take it in but have enough projects of my own and no space. Ok, enough history here are the details.

1978 Grand Prix LJ, Automatic, garage kept ~11k miles, original everything (including tires), two color Black top Grey sides, no Landau, red velour interior, bench front. It isn't perfect, but it is in great condition.

The bad: it hasn't been started in ~3 years, The rear plastic molding around bumper is cracked and falling apart.

I've been thinking about getting it started, fixing the bumper filler and doing Bring a Trailer (or taking it to an auction/consignment shop) but if a good home of an enthusiast wants to take it off my hands I would happily forego all the effort. This car is not local to me but I can coordinate a visit/inspection if there is a serious buyer. As a caveat, know that the less effort it takes from me, the cheaper I will be willing to let it go.

Let me know if there is any interest, Thanks -R

Mmmmm. Tasty. I would love to have it, however, with my current full garage status, I don't think I'd be able to bring it home. Ultra tempting though, depending on the price.

Hi thanks 69hurstolds, she is a beaut. Let me know if you make room, she really needs a garage spot though. If you want to message me your 'tempting price' feel free. I won't be offended and am open to offers. I think I know about how much I can expect with her cleaned up, but am willing to make a deal to skip the work.

79 GP 4 Speed, Sorry I don't have more pics right now. Next time I visit I can get more. If you are interested I can do a video chat to show you whatever you are looking for. Anything specific you'd like to see?
