I recently bought this car to restore. Recent changes have made that not possible. The reason I purchased this particular car was because of the lack of rust. I looked at quite a few 75 Grand Am vehicles and none came close to this on as far as the condition of the body is concerned. The inside of the doors & door seams look close to new as does the inside of the rear quarters, front fenders & hood. The quarters and front fenders look very good from the outside also. Very minimal surface rust on right rear quarter behind the wheel well. The trunk floor is rock solid with very little surface rust inside. The front and back bumpers are very solid with minimal surface rust. The trunk lid had some rust at the rear but I had a body shop fix it correctly. The floor is solid except for two small areas of rust from the inside of the front drivers and passengers pans. The underneath of the pans look good except for those two small spots. This car was rust-proofed when new. The rest of the inside of the car is virtually rust free. The seats have been re-upholstered but it looks like they were dome very inexpensively. Included are two other 1975 Grand am front seats in black.(drivers is power) They will need to be re-upholstered. The door panels are nice. Power windows. The headliner is good except in the front where it came off the taping that holds it in place. I think it can be re-taped. Both power windows work. The carpet is like new. As far as I can tell all electrical works fine. I know very little about the engine and driveline. The previous owner claimed 44k was original. I confirmed that it is matching # engine 400 2BBL. It did start right up cold at 10 degrees when I took it off the trailer. I drove it a couple times and it ran and shifted well. I only went a couple blocks as I do not have it licensed. Both Exhaust manifolds have leaks. The previous owner decided he wanted headers on the car and attempted to take off the passenger side manifold without using heat. He busted three of the bolts before giving up. I can feel the bolt ends so they should come off with heat when the manifold is taken off. The air conditioning compressor is gone. Other than that it all looks stock. The nose piece is fiberglass (not the original Rubber) and needs a small amount of fiberglass repair but good other than that. The front grills & headlight bezels are included but not on the car. The Wheels are original and look good. The trim rings are nice and the tires are new. The spare is original and the jack is included. That is about all I can tell you as I have not had a chance to drive this car much. To address the exhaust manifold leaks, you will probably need to pull the intake and heads. I think this car could go to paint with very little body work needed. The interior, engine compartment and trunk areas would be very easy to make nice too. $500.00 non refundable deposit to be paid via Paypal within 48 Hours of end of auction.
