71 GP 400 4spd
Hi all,
Just purchased a 1971 Grand Prix 400 4 spd car from a friend in CA. Car is on a truck right now heading East. Will be dropped in Indiana soon and I'll drive there to bring it back to Virginia. Don't really need another car project ....but...it's on it way. I had the console shifter plate removed and shipped to me prior to the long drive across the country. Those are impossible to replace and I didn't want it to disappear before I got the car. I'll post pictures later ...car is oddly optioned and is one of the 52 manual trans cars made that year before they dropped the option and made automatics standard equipment. 2nd Picture is a rare sight ...2 4 spd shifter plates side by side. :-) Cheers, Bruce

Original dealer was in Alturas, up in the northeast part of California, where Nevada, Oregon and California meet. Small ranching town of a few thousand people. With all the options on that car some wealthy rancher must have bought that one. And it gets hot up there during the summer but most cars from the area didn't have A/C.
My dad was a highway engineer and spent a good part of his career working from there.

Nice GP! It must have been a Big Jackalope to take out the entire lower grill!

If that 72 lower grill is good, it's saleable, not easy to come by.

Cool, didn't realize they stuffed the door panel with them.
