Looks like my automatic version. An in design nose and that old girl would be pretty presentable.

Looks like it's got the Rally Gauge package too.:)

It's got a tach, Rally gauges came std with a clock . Tach and Economy guage were optional!

I'd drive the hell outta this one. these are a great riding handling machine when they're right.

I would love to have a Grand Am. I have owned a couple of the second gen Grand Am's and I liked them. That car looks like a great project / driver.

There was one manual car locally about 6 months ago. Wanted $17k for it.

I noticed that!

Ours came w a combo Cup & Tissue holder that hangs in the same location & a CB Whip Antenna magnetic base outline on the trunk lid. :D

Yeah, now THAT was at the tail-end of the real car era. They were still all over the place, but CB ushered/whipped them out somehow. Scarce 10 years later. Big out here in the country where people still did not have phones!

I dig it...our household views the "end" @ 1978 / 79 - if you catch my drift. :D

So that's a 4-speed console?

Console's the same, the insert for the shifter is different.
