1980 Grand Am on the block: Katy, Texas
Since this forum has been so dead in the last six months, I thought I'd post it here instead of the LOBBY.
This is not my car. Nice resto-mod on what appears to be a very clean Texas car. Wish I could have found one this clean 15 years ago. Except it is my least favorite '80 GA color: Baniff Blue. http://classicvehicleslist.com/ponti...s-96-more.html There is another one the same color, also in Texas, that has typical faded paint and more original on the 2040-cars.com website. |

I think it is ~$6,000
Here's another one. I know a little about it. At least the previous owner in upstate NY bought an 80 parts car from me.. Only thing I would do to this one is install the correct 80 tail lights....which are "almost" impossible to find. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pontiac-Gran...m=162224185179 |

That could very well be a one of one, they way it's optioned. I don't think I've ever seen a column shift in an '80 before. In addition, that is only the second one I can remember with the factory moonroof. The first '80 GA I ever looked at in person had the moonroof. That may have had a bench seat also but I don't remember. That was back in 1986 and it was a platinum silver example. Did Randy's GA have the column shift? I remember it didn't have a tilt wheel. As for those tail lights; A couple hours with painter's tape and a good quality gloss black aerosol will convert base '80 Lemans tail lamps into Grand Am units. |

It's uncanny how many of these are coming out of the woodwork just now.
Here's another well preserved black one in Washington. http://www.2040-cars.com/Pontiac/Gra...-made--584400/ I forgot to mention that if I had my druthers, I'd want one without the moonroof. I really like the looks of the Landau roof on these. If I could go back and order one new, I'd try to get a black Landau on an Agate red Grand Am. I wonder if there were any made with that combo. This is the first Baniff blue GA w/Landau I've ever seen: |

How about a landau top with the moon roof?
The black 80 was painted ~3 years ago. It came from Washington state, to upstate NY, to Schenectady and now in New Jersey. If this car wasn't black, I'd find a way to buy it. Randys 80 (my old 80) had the bucket seats and console. Honestly, I think the 2040 site collects adds and posts them. Some of the adds are extremely old. No prices and no contact information. Lightfoot, I sold an Agate Red 80 to a guy in Canada. He is currently doing a frame off restoration. No Landau or astro roof, but otherwise totally loaded. After enlarging the Ebay add photos, the black 80 does have the correct tail lights.... |
