I have that copy of Motor trend from 1979. After the road test the article recommended the purchase of the Grand Prix in auto transmission.I had a 79 Grand Am 301 4spd about 10 years ago. High Performance Pontiac did an article on a one-owner 79 GA 301 4spd in Oct. 2007, I also have a Motor Trend magazine from Jan. 1979 with a test of a two-tone Carmine Red 4spd GP with the factory wire wheels.
