Default Wanted 1982 Grand Prix Jack

Looking for an Original Jack for a 1982 Pontiac Grand Prix. Unlike previous years "Bumper Jacks," the jack in 1982 laid flat on the ground and was used on the side of the car instead of at the front or rear bumpers. Jack must be in good working condition. Rust and dirt okay as long as it works well.

I received a private message from an alleged member (maturezzmichelle) who told me that his/her "Old Man" had the Jack I was looking for. I was provided an email address and contacted the alleged seller.
He told me he would sell the Jack for $50.00. I agreed and sent him the money via PayPal. Same day, he returned the money and wanted me to send it to a different PayPal address and send it through he "Family & Friends" payment option.
PayPal security algorithms snagged the second address and blocked the payment. After two days of trying find out why and trying to buy the Jack, I came to the conclusion that there never was a Jack for sale. The seller refused to send a picture of the Jack.
Today when I tried to send a private message to maturezzmichelle, the account was blocked and I was unable to send him/her a private message.

Just a warning to beware of fake friends on the Boards.

I have two, if these are what you are talking about.

Not sure if the 12-20-79 is the manufacturing date, since they both have the same date. They both also have the same part number.

The jack does not have to be from an '82, I am sure they used the same jack for multiple model years and on multiple Pontiac and GM models as well. As long as it is in good working condition. Thank you.
