If its a bucket seat car {cant open up your pictures} the interior is worth saving. Especialy if its leather

I am sure I am late like always, but these are the parts worth saving on those cars if you come across them again
- check for aluminum core support, aluminum hood, aluminum deck lid, aluminum bumper reinforcements and brackets
- 301 motor mounts (block side)
- 301 complete a/c bracket set up and all pullies do not separate sell as a whole kit
- dash face/gauge surround (wood panel plastic piece)
- factory tach because they are next to impossible to find
- if it is a non a/c car the whole heater core box under hood
- lower door panels if they are decent
- bumper filler panels if they are crack free
- grille if it is crack free
- basically anything you would look for when you look for GTO or firebird parts. The G-bodies are getting harder and harder to find with good parts. Most of them are either beat to death or are dirt track cars. This board hasn't really embraced the G-body but there are a ton of other forums out there that you would be able to sell those parts and make a pretty good return.......hell I need most of that stuff for my 80 Grand Prix I have

Non A/C heater box, controls, vent and glove box specific for the non A/C.
Aluminum rad support if it has one.
Everything else looks so rusted, I wouldn't mess with it..

Looks like Chesterfield Brown to me. Maybe it's just my laptop.

Neat to see a non A/C Grand Prix from that era. Does it have a gauge cluster?
How about a trip meter odometer? Those without a broken reset stem are really hard to find.

No one has mentioned the sport mirrors. Those are worth saving for spares as parts cars are becoming extinct. They don't take up too much storage space.
I personally like those finned wheel covers. I liken their styling to a 'poor man's Rally II'.
