I think someone will scoop that car up for that money. If someone on the forum buys it please tell us. ;)

I don't partake in Fakebook. Can someone ask what kind of cam it has and when the suspension/steering was done?

I wonder why it has an aftermarket tach in the 1st place? Factory one seems off a little compared to it, maybe it was a v6 car?

Nice car, A/C is an easy fix. I like the red interior, how hard are the lower doorl panels to find. I would go beefed up 2004R, otherwise perfect.

On the Pontiac dash you can adjust the tach setting from behind to a V-8. But if the tach is broke it is a pretty hard item to locate being a '78 year only item.

Yup. '78 only. GP's and LeMans both had them. Most were clock,speedo, idiot lights. The full gauge package w/tach is super rare. I scored a set on here from a Ford guy. The oil gauge lost it's dampening fluid and bounced like crazy. It was an expensive gauge to find but I got an NOS one on Fleabay. The silver dash is rare too '79-'80.

And finding a silver face with tach is that much harder.

Also looks like this Grand Am has the aluminum core support, I don't see the tab for the hood cable that the steel ones have.

Also, why would you paint the inner wheel wells as nice as the fenders, then plop a fugly-*ss engine in there?
