I remember Going to the Dealership In 1980 with My step dad to buy his Olds Cutlass Supreme.
It looked just like the 2 tone Gray on in you picture.
I was like 8 or 9 and I remember there was a Black one with leather and a T-Top I wanted him to buy.
Instead he bought the silver one because he was afraid the top would leak, I was bummed. lol
I remember seeing the New 1980 Grand Prix too and I didn't like them compared to the Olds Cutlass.
Fast forward 35 years and guess what I got a 1980 Grand prix.

This piucture is probably around 1988. I trimed a tree for my older sister and she gave me the car in payment, it had a dead hole due to a burnt valve. I rebuilt the top end in the 229 V6 and rebuilt the front end and added the tires and wheels. Drove that thing all over till we traded it for the dreaded mini van in the mid 90's when the kids were little...Wish I still had the arrow dtraight Malibu...

That car looks good in yellow! Can't beat a free car either...nice to see that it you kept the V6 too.

Dad's old 1981 Grand Prix. Bought it for 1474$ in 1994, got the wheels for 50$ and am amplifier (Yes, I'm serious. One of the first runs of Centerline Scorpions when they came out, had to use wheel spacers on back due to only one offset available). Was a diesel car, swapped to a '76 olds 350 out of a vista cruiser with a trashed, and thrashed 200metric and either a very poopy LSD rear, or an open diff. I have the Q-jet on my SBB 350 now, and dad still has the engine at his fathers. Picture circa summer 1994. Sorry for rambling, I just want the history of this car out there. It being on of the reasons as to why I'm so into G Bodies and cars in general; having an 85 regal myself I picked up for 1400$.
