Description : With its slick maroon paint job, the 1973 pontiac grand am looks really cool! The notorious big beak on the front bumper with the finned grill on the sides really makes the car stand out with uniqueness. The side louvers behind the doors show that the car means business as well. The badge on the trunk shows "6.5 litre", but the owner states it is a 455 engine in the car now. The grand am back in the day was considered rare, especially with a 4 speed manual like this one has. This car has chrome valve covers, an aftermarket aluminum radiator, a holley carburetor, working air conditioning and heat, power steering, and power brakes, and a chrome dual exhaust exiting the rear of the car. The red interior appears to be in great shape with comfortable bucket seats, a functioning clock, and an AM/FM radio. There is also an aftermarket water temperature gauge below the steering wheel. The tires are BF Goodrich radial T/A's and the size is P235/70/R15, wrapped around period correct chrome and black wheels. If you are in the market for an old grand am with a big 455 mated to a fun 4 speed transmission, do not look any further!
