Pontiac : Grand Am GRAND AM

IF YOU'VE STOPPED TO READ THIS. IT'S ALREADY A GIVEN THAT YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO THE UNUSUAL.   AND BELIEVE ME. THIS IS UNUSUAL.   YOU JUST DON'T SEE THESE ON THE ROAD ANYMORE.   I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU THE LAST TIME I SAW ONE ON THE ROAD. CAN YOU ???

PONTIAC SAVED ONE OF IT'S BEST MUSCLE CARS FOR LAST.   THE FIRST GENERATION GRAND AM STARTED OUT TO BE THE GTO FOR THE 1973 YEAR RUN.   PONTIAC WANTED SOMETHING UPSCALE. SIMILAR TO WHAT PLYMOUTH HAD DONE. ROAD RUNNER WAS THE MUSCLE. AND THE GTX WAS THE SAME MUSCLE. BUT WITH ALL THE LUXURY AS WELL.   THUS WAS BORN THE GRAND AM.   PONTIAC TOOK THEIR PLANS WITH THE GTO AND DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE INTERIOR WITH A LUXURY GRAND PRIX INTERIOR.   THE RESULT WAS STUNNING.   AN AIRPLANE COCKPIT STYLE DASH WITH SEPERATE GAUGES EVERYWHERE. FOR EVERYTHING.   ALL THE POWER . ELECTRIC. AND LUXURY ITEMS AVAILABLE WERE ALL CRAMMED IN THIS MUSCLE CAR.   THIS CALIFORNIA CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH PONTIACS GREAT 400 CID MOTOR AND FLOOR SHIFTED AUTO TRANS.   A/C. POWER SEATS. CENTER CONSOLE. GAUGES UP THE WAZOO. DUAL MIRRORS. GRAND PRIX DELUXE STEERING WHEEL. TILT WHEEL AND A BUNCH OF OTHER CRAP.   THIS CAR WAS EQUIPPED FROM NEW WITH PONTIAC'S RALLYE WHEELS. AND SUSPENSION HANDLING PACKAGE (SWAY BARS ETC).   THIS CAR WAS OWNED BY A LADY UP IN FRISCO.   SHE USED IT SPARINGLY FOR YEARS. MOVED OUT TO THE CALIFORNIA HIGH DESERT WHERE THE CAR EVEN GOT LESS USE.   SHE DROVE THE CAR HOME ONE DAY. AND LEFT IT SITTING UNTIL SHE PASSED.   THE CAR WAS IN STORAGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 13 YEARS.   I'M TOLD SHE WAS THE SECOND OWNER.   I RESCUED THE CAR. CLEANED OUT THE FUEL SYSTEM. PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT. AND STARTED HER RIGHT UP. AS IF SHE WAS USED LAST WEEK.   THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE THE 54K MILE CAR SHE IS.   NO SQUEAKS OR RATTLES. AND SMOOTH.   THE CAR IS AN EZ COSMETIC RESTORATION.  

you may take a look at a short video i took of the car on youtube. so you know exactly what you're getting:

THE CAR STILL WEARS ITS ORIGINAL BURGENDY INTERIOR. UPOLSTERY. HEADLINER. EVERYTHING.   THE INTERIOR CAN BE USED EXACTLY AS IT IS. BUT TIME HAS DONE IT'S DUTY. SO IF YOU WANT HER PERFECT. THE DRIVER'S SEAT BOTTOM WOULD NEED TO BE SEWN (MATERIAL STILL SUPPLE ENOUGH TO REUSE AND RE-STICH). DRIVERS SEAT BACK BEADING SHOWS WEAR.   CARPET IS DIRTY. PACKAGE TRAY NEEDS REPLACING. AND THE DASH HAS SOME MINOR CRACKS FROM HEAT.   THREE INTERIOR PLASTIC MOULDINGS HAVE PERISHED.   MECHANICALLY. I WOULD REBUILD THE CARB TO HAVE IT IDLE BETTER (MAY JUST BE AND ADJUSTMENT OR SOME DIRT). MAYBE PLUG WIRES. AND NORMAL SERVICE YOU WOULD DO WITH ANY USED CAR.   TIRES ARE OLD. HAVE TREAD. BUT YOU'D WANT THE PEACE OF MIND.   THE FLOORS AND TRUNK IS SOLID. AS YOU'D EXPECT FROM A CALIFORNIA CAR.   THERE IS SOME RUST ON SOME OF THE EXTERNAL PANELS.   NONE STRUCTURAL. AND NONE SEVERE. NO NEED TO REPLACE ANY RUSTED PANELS.   THERE HAS BEEN BODY WORK PERFORMED ON THE CAR PREVIOUSLY. AND IT HASN'T BEEN THE BEST JOB. SO FIGURE ON SPENDING SOME TIME ON BODY AND PAINT IF YOU WANT TO GET TAKE THE CAR TO SHOWS.   AS WITH ALL THESE CARS THE "ENDURA" FRONT BUMPER DISINTIGRATED.   I HAVE LEADS ON THE FACIA. GRILLES. HEADLIGHT DOORS AT A REASONABLE PRICE IF INTERESTED.   CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SILVER/BURGENDY  AND WILL BE A STUNNING COMBINATION WHEN COMPLETE.   PLEASE FEEL TO COME BY AND TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE CAR. AND ASK AS MANY QUESIONS AS YOU LIKE WHILE THE EBAY AD IS ACTIVE.   I DO NOT SHOW THE CAR AFTER THE SALE. UNTIL FUNDS ARE IN MY HAND.   A TRUE BARN FIND FROM THE END OF THE MUSCLE CAR ERA.   AND STILL A STUNNING. DISTINCT SHAPE TODAY.   THIS CAR STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA BLUE LICENSE PLATES.

  PLEASE NOTE:  DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE.   YOU ARE WELCOME TO INSPECT THE CAR PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF AUCTION.   AFTER THE AUCTION FULL PAYMENT WILL NEED TO BE RECEIVED AND PROCESSED BEFORE THE CAR WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF STORAGE FOR FINAL DELIVERY.   NO NEGOCIATIONS TAKE PLACE AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTIONS (SORRY I HAVE TO MENTION THIS. BUT AN OCCASIONAL . RARE EBAY BUYER. LACKS THE PROPER ETHICS).
