Grand Am Scorpion - Information?

[CrammerGram69]

Hello, all! I may have asked about this awhile ago. (or forgot?) Maybe it was a member's car. I am looking for info on this car / dealer-installed package.
All i know it was an Arizona package. Does anyone know about it or have More pictures to share?

I am compiling the very few RARE Dealer-installed Pkg Options on my Facebook owner's group.
Link > 1978-81 Pontiac LeMans & Grand Am Owners Group

Any other cool pkgs out there? Feel free to PM me. I won't disclose the location of any survivors. But I would like permission to use Survivor photos to show that it existed.
Thank you for reading this and for any help you can offer.

I remember the name Mecham. But to me, it was a Pontiac dealership. And it was the Macho T/A, which was a Pontiac Trans-Am that had been ...

The other was Valley Pontiac they did some promotional stuff too.

No idea if either still exist.

Quebedeaux was the Pontiac dealer in Tucson, pretty sure they are still in business selling Buicks. Might see if there are any old timers still working there.

Pontiac sputters into history

After spending much of his life around Tucson's Pontiac dealership, Thomas Quebedeaux heard about the famous marque's demise just like most of us.

Here is the only information I received back in 2008.
I think this was from the seller at the time.

Thank you for the reply. It is red over silver with yellow and orange 1/4 inch striping from front of R front fender to behind side glass over the top and up to the front of L front fender.
The scorpion is about 4 inch long and located between the pinstripe and the side glass.
I found a picture in an advertisement but it was an add for coming next year 1978 grand am. No reference to the snow flake rims or scorpion (in picture) the car was gotten from original owner's wife (he had passed away) she said he was a salesman for the Pontiac dealer in Redding CA. the car spent it's life in one county. she said he special ordered the rarest one for his retirement. I can find nothing except one picture if you hear of anyway to get more info let me know
I again thank you for your reply
