It's been eight days since anyone posted here and in the interest of keeping this area active I thought I would make a generic post.
Seems like most of the posts here are from a few guys. If you lurk here this is your chance. Share your forgotten, overlooked '73-'77 A body here. This is the '73 Grand Am I picked up a couple of years ago. Low milage, nice interior, and perfect rear quarters, drives like new. Other than putting on the InDesign nose I haven't done anything to it. Somehow the '69 Lemans convertble has taken priority. I hope to get some paint on it this year. Jeremy

Hi, always nice to speak to a fellow grand am person. Nice GA. I am on my seventh grand am, six were '73s and one was a '75. My current project is a valencia gold w/white vinyl top 2 door '73. (If anyone has any of the three upper nose sections I'm looking, I can't afford In Design right now). It is solid for wisconsin and is a fun driver, I'm hoping to do the paint and body this winter... We'll see.

Keep the thread going.
If anyone has any of the fittings for the factory air shocks, I need some for my '74. Found NOS shocks, but some of the fittings were missing. Also scored a '74 shop manual for $5.50 plus $3 shipping off of ebay. http://fiedlerh.home.att.net/

Nice GA Jeremy! Looks like a nice straight car. I've always liked the 73-75 GA's, but haven't had any until recently. Bought one and decided it was too far gone for the money I had to invest in it. So, I sold it and bought another one, but much nicer to begin with. I have a few pics of it in the link in my sig. I have a NACA duct hood at the body shop now getting all spiffed up and painted to match. Also have a new valve train and heads ready to bolt on. These cars are starting to get some attention.

I had a '73 Grand Am from 1978 to 1984. I had to sell her to pay off college. I'll post pics when I get to a scanner. It was a beautiful car. I had it painted in '82. I did all the body work in my parent's driveway and had a friend of my dad's paint it. Despite the drive-in parties, road trips, and particularly nasty winter of '78-79, it still looked great when I sold it. I thought I would keep it forever. Oh well, I've been looking at 70's T/As and the occasional Can Am (dream car of my youth). If I could only win the lottery . . .

for factory fittings, try to find 1971 and 1972 elcaminos, they all had factory air shocks. usually the tubing is still there, just different shocks have been installed.
