PRO TOURING low mileage 1979 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe Pontiac 455 w/.0.30 over This tastefully done 1979 Pontiac Grand Am is a unique version of the GM G-Body in Pro-touring rim! Only 4021 of the Pontiac Grand Am Coupes were made. However, with one noticeable difference this is a Pontiac engine --- a 455. From the factory, it was a 301. Why be average and buy a Chevy Malibu when you can have something unique. That is if you’re going Pro Touring! In Pro-Touring trim this Pontiac has: • 1979 Pontiac Grand Am 2 Door sedan – Pro Touring A/C, PS & PB Engine/driveline • 455 CI Pontiac V8 – 74 YY block 6X heads .030 over rebuild • Edelbrock Performer Intake and Carb • Mild cam – don’t know specs • New distributor w/65K coil, cap, rotor, wires, and Denso plugs • Original fuel pump • New u-joints • 12 bolt Posi rear w/3.31 gears - New pinion bearing & seal, outer bearing & seals, C clip axle retainers • Mad Dog custom made coated headers cross over pipe, over the rear axle exit • Turbo 350 trans • Aluminum radiator • New battery Chassis • Four-wheel power disc brakes – front 12″ Wilwood rotors w/ red six-piston calipers – • rear 11″ drilled and slotted w/ built-in E-brake • Spohn Performance front upper & lower control arms • Eibach 1″ drop springs • Bilstein shocks • 1.25″ front anti-roll bar • New ball joints, tie rod ends, HD tie rod adjusters, center link, idler arm • UMI upper & lower rear control arms • Spohn Performance 1 3/8″ rear drag sway bar kit • New S/S brake & fuel lines • Comes with two sets of tire/wheel combos • set 1 – reproduction Z06 wheels – 18×8 frt w/245/40R18, 18×10.5 rear w/275/40R18 • set 2 – Pontiac 15×7 Rallye II’s – 195/60R15 front, 235/60R15 rear M&T drag radials Interior • Trim parts replaced and painted original Carmine Red, New carpet with sound deadener. New Headliner and visors Miscellaneous • A box full of paperwork including original bill of sale going back to mid-1970s • All instrument lights replaced with LED’s This Pontiac is very dependable, and the car runs and drives as you would expect from a great cruiser or drag/street racer. Take on the Power Tour this year and be one of the scarce people with the Pontiac version of the Malibu. Everything works on this car as it should, including the AC. There is some surface rust underneath the trim around the rear quarter windows and, but there is no rust through anywhere! There is some bubbling on the passenger side rear quarter about the size of a quarter. Nothing major. I believe the rustproofing job preserved this car. The interior was redone (2013) with newly painted trim (Carmine Red), new headliner and carpet. Everything works on this car, just like from the factory! The interior is all factory original except for an aftermarket period radio. The seats look great (driver seat bottom needs minor stitching or repair), and the dash is perfect, no cracks rips or tears. If you are looking for a unique Pro Tour car, I highly recommend you come and look at this car! You will find it fascinating and fall in love with it. You will not be disappointed. A rare and unusual car! |
