Something of interest from the Silver Grand Am that is showing under post #63. I have read the article on this car from the magazine Road & Track. This car ( not the same as the black car) had a 4-speed Borg Warner and..............get this..............8.5 Positraction with a 3.23 rear. What's interesting is the 8.5 was not available under the A/G bodies until 1984. And did I mention the 301-4V had 190 bhp?

The turbo 301 was a total WASTE.

I disagree, from today's point of view you may find it was useless but i think you have to look at when it was first introduced.

There is 1980 Grand Am still showing up for sale in Ontario region under Kijiji. And...…….this past summer...……..a chap in Nova Scotia was selling a 10th Anniversary Grand LeMans……….red and white. I'm not sure if it sold after...………...I think I still have his number.

BTW........I found another picture of my Grand Am before the accident.

Wanna guess? 😆

I was no fan of winter....didn't go far enough south though.
Also the poor economy of the time. Seems things have improved since.
