1997 Grand Am #43

Post by Basement Paul »

So I sold the F-250 and within a week or so I found this sweetheart.

This was the real deal, old lady's car. It was a one owner and had a handicapped sticker hanging from the mirror. It didn't look near this nice when I bought it, but after a good detailing inside and out, it turned out to be real nice. It had only 82k on it. It's a quad-4 with an automatic and really doesn't need much. I already did a custom fix on the crushed driver's seat and it turned out great. I've done an oil change, a tune up, and modified the air box with a k&n (yeah k&n) drop in air filter. The tires are in great shape, and everything seems to work well. It runs strong with the 150hp dohc motor, and it got 33mpg on my first tank.

It should be getting it's 2.25" exhaust (stock one is 1.75") maybe this weekend and the only other plans would be a set of updated stock aluminum wheels.

It's not a looker, but just a nice clean car. I paid $2000 for it.

It sure cleaned up nice. Amazing what a little elbow grease can do. :)
