1979 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe 455/4 bbl

You're looking at a very rare Pontiac Grand Am Coupe only 4021 of these were made in 1979. And what's rarest of all is it has a 455 in the engine bay! If the factory would have built a car like this. this would be it. This is a true fast. sleeper.

This car is ready to rock and roll for cruise nights this summer or the drag strip. A true Muscle Rod that looks great and gets loads of attention. You can get in it and drive it now! This car is a real cool sleeper… At last year's dream cruise this car got rave reviews from the audience as it cruised down Woodward Avenue.

It has a 455 V8. . 030 over. which makes it a 462 Cu in. ³ torque monster (replacing the factory 301). It was professionally rebuilt (I have some of the receipts. I did not do the rebuild). The Pontiac engine code is confirmed to be a YY with the big value 6X heads. All true Muscle Rod go-fast parts. The engine is matched to a turbo 350 transmission with a shift kit. You lay rubber in second gear. as you nail it. Driving the power to the ground is the heavy-duty GM 12 bolt posi- rear end. It is fueled through an Edelbrock 1604 carb sitting atop an Edelbrock aluminum high-rise manifold. It has a brand-new professionally installed dual exhaust system. What a great rumble from this new 2. 5” exhaust system. with large diameter full length headers from MAD DOG Headers.  

The front tires are new and the rears have good tread life. and are BFG 245x15's. The car handles very well. nice and tight. The radiator is upgraded to a heavy duty aluminum radiator. The battery has just been replaced. The big sway bar holds the car in the corners. This Pontiac is very dependable and the car runs and drives is you would expect from a great cruiser or drag/street racer. Take on the Power Tour this year and be one of the very rare people with the Pontiac version of the Malibu. Everything works on this car as it should. including the AC. There is some surface rust underneath the trim around the rear quarter windows and. but there is no rust through anywhere! There is some bubbling on the passenger side rear quarter about the size of a quarter. Nothing major. I believe the rust proofing job preserved this car. The undercarriage of this car is extremely clean.

The interior was redone last summer (2013) with new painted trim ( Carmine Red). new headliner and carpet. Everything works on this car. just like from the factory! The interior is all factory original except for an aftermarket period radio. The seats look great ( driver seat needs minor stitching) and the dash is perfect. no cracks rips or tears. The car comes with some original service manuals and some paperwork. and service records. which date back to the mid-1990s.

This is an awesome Muscle Rod YOU must see to appreciate. I highly recommend you come and take a look at this car and you will fall in love with it. You will not be disappointed. This car is ready for cruising or the drag strip. or both… A whole lot of fun in store for the purchaser of this rare Pontiac… GRRRRRRRRRR. it just needs a tiger tail.
