1975 Pontiac Grand Am Base Coupe 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars

I recently bought this car to restore. Recent changes in finances has taken this dream away. The reason I purchased this was because of the lack of rust. I looked at quite a few 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 like new as does the inside of the rear quarters and front fenders. The quarters and front fenders look very good from the outside also. Very minimal surface rust on right rear quarter. The trunk floor is rock solid with very little surface rust inside. The hood and front fenders are near perfect. The front and back bumpers are very solid with minimal surface rust. The only disappointment is the rear lip area of the trunk. I am not sure why it rusted there but as you can see from the pics, it will need some work. The inside of the trunk lid is solid. The floor is solid except for rust from the inside on front drivers and passengers pans. The underside of the pans are great. They are somewhat solid but should be replaced.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. I think they just sewed new material onto the existing front. They should be re-done correctly. The door panels are not correct, They are tan and have been dyed. Not a good job at all but can be re-done correctly. The lower portion of the door panels are not correct. Thus car has power windows and the panels are for manual windows. The lower panels are pretty easy to find. 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 drivers window is loose in the track but does function. The carpet is like new. As far as I can tell all electrical works fine

I know very little about the engine and driveline. 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 1 block to my garage and have not started it again. It does have an exhaust leak on the passenger side manifold. The previous owner decided he wanted headers on the car and attempted to take off the 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. I changed the oil and antifreeze and will drain the old gas next and add new non corn gas before starting it up again. there is some surface rust in the engine compartment but not too bad. It is where the original rustproofing on the fender wells let go.The air conditioning compressor is gone. Other than that it all looks stock. The nose piece is fiberglass (not the original Rubber) and needs some fiberglass repair. The front grills are missing and the hood cable is broken. The Wheels are original and look good. Two of the center caps are missing, 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 and living in  ice cold WI says I probably will not any time soon. I think this car could go to paint without hardly any body work needed. The interior, engine compartment and trunk areas would be very easy to make nice too.
