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

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.

Lovely GA!

Back in the day, one of my high school English teachers called me up to her desk -- she handed me some money and the keys to her car and asked if I would drive it over to the car wash that was about 2 miles away and get it cleaned up for her. The car was a white 73 GA just like yours. Had red interior, an auto trans and a 455. Super cool lady and an awesome car. I've never forgotten my little run to and from the car wash in that car.

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

A friend of mine had a green 73 Grand Am back in the early 80s... with a 4 speed. Sadly it was totaled by someone he lent it to. That's the only I'd ever seen until the photos of this white one.

Forgot to had it also had the hood scoops.
