Anybody with 78'/79' Pontiac Grand Prix's with factory 4-sp.

[GMP440]

Anybody on the board own or have pics of 78' or 79' Pontiac Grand Prix's
with factory 4-speed? I know these are ultra rare but it was an option with the 301 4 barrel motor.

There was an article in one of the Pontiac magazines (I think it was High Performance Pontiac), from about a year or so ago, about a Lemans or Grand Am that had the 301/4 speed combo, and I think it was a one owner car. Sorry I can't be of more help than that.

Try searching posts. There are a few on here. Also check the performanceyears forum for G's. The pics just show a shifter coming out of the hump. When they come up for sale they're usually like 5K and not what I call pristine, so they don't sell.

There's a couple of 'em floating around here. The 4-spd was '79 only in Pontiacs, and could be had behind the 301 or a 3-spd behind the buick v6.

79 4 speed cars 2 of 232 in hand

I have one here, another at my brother in-laws. Both are 301 4 bbl, blue interior buckets and cloth interior, the one here is two tone blue hard top, the other was a two tone blue (now one) with the landau roof. Some Ahole put a crappy sunroof in mine, has to come out and the car is rusty. I traded a chev 350 and th350 for it a couple years ago. The other one I got in exchange for four Korn tickets about 7 years ago. (good concert btw)

My brother in law took the 4 speed stuff out and put it into a 79 auto car from Phoenix due to condition, it is running but now has a 301 auto in it. As the body is in far better shape than mine, and he rebuilt the motor/brakes etc. I am getting it back from him and plan to put the trans and related items from my car back into his so I have a driver while I take the next 10? years and rebuild mine, in the meantime keeping my 1980 400/400/3.42 car up and about and looking for a 68-70 GTO. :shock:

I've got a 79 4 speed I purchased about 2 years ago. It was a base model with a split bench seat. I found a 79 SJ with a great interior and buckets, but it had a really beat up body. I have since replaced the entire interior of the 4 speed car with that of the SJ. Just need to sort out a few more things and then I'll get her painted

I used to have a '78 with a 231 Buick & a 3 speed. I yanked the V6 & put a SBC in it with a T5 & then a T56 6speed. Car was a blast to drive.

In this pic, it has IROC wheels, but they were swapped out later for 1990 16" Formula wheels. They looked much better.

Re: goat

That is a '64 GTO. It is my father's car. It looks like this now...My parent's house was struck by lightning on Aug 9, 2007. The GTO was in the garage
There was also a 1934 Packard & a 1964 Tempest that were destroyed, also.
