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.

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!
