Roman Red Grand Am
This nice example came up on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=005 Anyone know if it is the same one that was in Knoxville, TN two years ago? That one (also) had a black interior, which is unusual for a roman red GA. Most had matching red seats. The former one also had the very rare digital clock, which, I guess came with the factory tachometer in '78. This one seems in better shape than the other one, but it says it has recent paint. |

The dig clock was an option on all Pontiac Gs, as was the tach. If you ordered the dig clock and not order the tach you got a plain panel the same as the cars that had no regular clock.I would deduct $ for the spoiler. I'm pegging high bid at 2800.

I've never seen this car before. The one listed 2 years ago had buckets and a bad head gasket or cracked head. High bid was $1005 and it did not sell. Bad paint too.
It was in Knoxville though. I had a 78 Roman Red and Platinum back in 78 and the only 78-80 I've ever seen while driving was in Knoxville this past March. I'll go dig up some pictures, it may be this one.........with new paint. The one I saw had buckets too.... Last edited by iowapub; 08-24-2008 at 10:27 PM. Reason: add picture |

No Reserve & one day left
I don't know what happened with that red one, but,,,
Here is a black '79 Grand Am on eBay which is going with NO RESERVE. It's only got one day left but I just found it. Looks to be in decent shape, especially if the mileage is correct. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...67#description From the description, I don't think the seller knows a whole lot about these cars. Says it's got a 4.6 Litre engine??? I would guess that's supposed to be 4.9, but someone asked him about that, and he repeated himself. Maybe he doesn't know squat about cars in general. That being the case, a car guy could really take advantage of this deal. Not sure why someone would open up with a $2500 bid on a no reserve auction though. Could be a shill bidder, unless somebody close by has a Grand Am jones. |

Seller seems a little put out about questions being asked.

Uncanny coincidence
Quote:
It would have been iffy with no personal inspection, but then again, maybe someone got a good deal on a low mileage, one of 4022 Grand Am. I mapquested Dingmans Ferry, PA last night, AFTER I had posted this link. I discovered that I had just drove right past that town on State Road 209, Sunday afternoon, on my way from New Hampshire to Indiana. Had I discovered that listing just a few days earlier, while visiting my brother (and yeah, I was on the internet alot), I could have (and would have, if the seller cooperated) done a thorough inspection. That being for the benefit of anyone on this board. Next time I take a road trip, I'll check the listings in advance. Last edited by Tin Injun Tom; 10-01-2008 at 09:48 PM. |
