The 2nd generation Pontiac Grand Am was a G-body GM offering that frankly most people have forgotten or would prefer to forget. Its wasn't just that 1978 was the depths of low compression engines and poor engineering solutions to emissions problems (huge smog/air pumps, electronic carbs...etc), but the Grand Am was just so forgettable compared to the Buick Regal. However, an actual factory concept car for less than 10 grand makes the old ears perk up...even if it is a Grand Am. Find this

Tip from Paul M.
This next car comes from tipper Watch Carefully who writes: Today I discovered this: It's a bit of a resto-mod, but true to the original 454 model with NACA ducts, etc. My dad had the 4-door from 1973, bought new when I was a kid, and I always thought it was among the best looking muscle cars of the 1970s. sadly they ruined the rear end design with the revision for 1974, so this is a 1-year-only, improved version of the original Grand Am (don't get me started on what they became in the final iterations). GM saw it as competition for sports sedans from BMW & Mercedes (...that's a good one). Nonetheless, it is what it is...very cool and decidedly uncommon. Had I the money, garage space, and brownie points with the wife, I would probably bid on this (and swap it for a manual). Hopefully, someone in DTland is into it.
