That ‘78 GP was a 301/4bbl with two tone red exterior over red cloth interior.
It’a a shame that my friends cousin bought it a couple years later, and essentially wrecked it.
It’s a good thing I don’t have a larger property with more garage space, because I would for sure be on the look out for one.

Mine came from OK, so it had zero rust on it. It was 2 tone metallic red with a padded landau roof. I sold it to a guy I used to work with at the local chevy dealer. He bought it for his step son that had just turned 16.
A few weeks later they called me and said the transmission was out of it, hey, you bought it as is, I'm not putting a tranny in it, that's your problem. Those metric 200 transmissions were so weak they broke just in normal driving. Within a month he wrecked it so badly that the frame rail broke the exhaust manifold off of the engine. Total junk within a month.
The car also had 14 inch snowflake alloy wheels on it, haven't seen those on G bodies from the factory. I have no idea who ordered the car, but they must have checked almost every box on the order form to double the price of the car.........LOL
