Post your 73-77 pics
 

I know they're not as popular as the 69-72s, but I also know there is a dedicated base of 73-77 enthusiasts. Myself, I have owned 2 73s, 3 74s, at least 5 76s, and another 6+ 77s. I just bought an Admiralty Blue with a White top and interior GP from the original owner. I am in Indiana, and it is Wisconsin and I am hoping to get it picked up within the next 2 weeks.

I'll start this thread with a few of mine . . . . the first 3 are the "new" 74, the last is the one is the one I owned in 1984. I will post more of my cars here and there.

Thanks, Dave

OK, here's mine

Well, I was hoping to see some replies by now so I guess I'll have to post a couple more of mine.

The White/Maroon 76 was the nicest Grand Prix I've ever owned. I bought it in 2005 from the son of the original owner. I flew to Atlanta, GA and drove it back, although not uneventfully, (I rear-ended a Camry, totaling it, but that's a story for another time, LoL). It had 57K miles and was just about mint. Unfortunately, I sold it in 2007 to pay for my Daughter's wedding.

The Brentwood Brown 77 was a decent car, I bought it because it had a power sunroof. When I got it, it had been raised up at least 6 inches to put 24" rims on it. I had new front and rear spring put on and returned it back to normal. I actually sold it to buy the 76 LJ.

Heres my junk

1973 Grand Prix SJ
 

Hi Daver...

It's lonely being a fan of the '73 GP, '71-'76 "B", and '77-'80 base & Esprit Firebirds!
Here's my 1973 SJ. It's worn but mostly original.

The triple black color combination doesn't thrill me but oddly enough this one originally had red carpeting (per the partial build sheet). Evidently the original owner had it swapped out for the black stuff when it was fairly new. I'd order new carpet for it but am not sure if anything produced is close to the right color.

The '73 has always been my favorite Grand Prix. It's nice to see at least two other fans of these fine machines.

1973 SJ
 

It's aging like its owner but lives inside and is only driven when its warm and dry outside.

Power Beam
 

For some reason, I just like this shot. The funky tag was purchased & installed by the original owner so I let it be.

Daver, that '74 is a peach! The color combo is perfect -- white interior has always been my favorite and it looks so good against the blues & greens of 1973-1974.

Is it an SJ minus emblems? I've never seen a "J" equipped with the rare tach option before. I want to add a tach to my '73 but it was only offered on the Grand Am that year and my factory clock is still working anyway.

Nice GP, thanks for posting. Funny, your first post wasn't there till this morning, the first 2 posts in the thread were mine.

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

Dave

Hey Joel,

Thanks for your posts. Your GP is cool, love the Red carpet option! It breaks the monotone of a black interior. I like all the years, but 73, 74, and 76 are my favorite (I go back and forth).

Dave

Joel,

Thanks! I can't wait to get my hands on it, hopefully we will get it picked up within the week or so. On the plus side, it is a 1 owner (I have the original 1974 title), unmolested GP, with some nice options. On the other side, it has been stored inside and not driven in 20 years, so there will be a lot of work to get it up and running. He has the window sticker . . . . .somewhere, LoL. I am fairly sure the tach and gauge cluster was available on the Model J (or base model) and the tach upgrade was available on the SJ. I had a 1 owner Triple Black 77 that had the tach and gauges but not the relocated clock (that car was cool, it had the towing package and included a 3.23 rear gear).

Dave

Hi All,

First time poster, here's my 76 LJ, only 7071 miles on it!:)

Here's the 74' I want:

Sweet! Nice to see a collection of the much maligned disco cars. That blue/white landau is identical to my 2nd Grand Prix that I had years ago. My first was a white 73 with a sunroof and I have owned several back into the early 80's. I found this one 3 years ago and have been enjoying the smooth and easy drive it offers though I am punching up the motor a bit as we speak with a bit more cam and a set of heads prepped by Pdude.

Nice Grand Prix!! Can't quite see the front or back ends, to be sure of the year. but it looks like Firethorn Red I/O so I'm guessing a 77. Don't see many without a Landau top, I love how clean it looks. I noticed it has Grand Am Radial GT tires, the same company also used to make Grand Prix Radial GTs. Love to see any other pics you'd care to post,

Dave
