Default Unmolested '78 Grand Am on CL

Posting this here for brevity.
White with blue interior.
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d...364507128.html

This is one of the cleanest survivors (2nd Gen) I've seen for sale in quite a long while. Listed in Houston but one of the photos shows a Washington state registration. I'm guessing that's why the interior is so nice.

Quite a few options but it doesn't have the right-hand remote mirror that my GA had.

Yep, last craigslist ad I placed in Albuquerque, got that same response - "Ill send a six digit number to make sure you are real". WTF is that?!? Assuming beginning of some phishing scheme. Chewed the guy out, but didn't use any four letter words!

That is a highly optioned Grand Am, especially for a 78. That powder blue interior plastic is the worst for chalking and flaking. This interior is pretty fadded, but the plastic actually looks pretty good.
Teaser on the engine bay shot, I just can't tell if it has an aluminum radiator support or not. I've noticed the 78 Grand Am seemed to have them more than others.

Must be fast? Judging by the driver's seat...

Not to brag but I have a 78 GA with 43000 original miles. It's red and silver. Lived it's life in the garage. Took 20 years of knowing before I was able to buy it. It had set over 20 years. It is extremely clean and solid. Not sure how to post pics yet. Anyone else have any 78-80 Grand Am?
