GM had a number of names for that color. It was Springmist Green on my ‘68 Firebird, in ‘72 on the Grand Prix it was Revere Silver. Chevy called it Seafoam Green. I’ve seen other brands and late model foreign cars like Volvo with a similar color but personally I think Pontiac got the blend of green and silver just right. I wish it had been offered in ‘80.

Love the ‘72. Like that green a lot! That looks like my dads ‘67 Pontiac Tempest linden green color.
Just noticed your ‘78

Just noticed you are 78 GP 400, did you change the transmission too or have any problems connecting the shift lockout mechanism?

Nice GP's! Had an 84 almost 20 years ago, wish I'd kept it... Never see those anymore especially as clean as yours...

Hey there, glad to have found this forum, have some extra parts, need some too.
Right now I just need a backup light lens for my ‘80 GP. Any leads would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi guys, still looking for tail light lens for my 80 GP, has anyone had experience with 3D printing these?

Great car! Hopefully someone can help you out with one of the last true Pontiac V8 powered Grand Prix's. Good luck.
