    My first car. Ascot Silver with a Burgundy interior. Mine had the 400 cu. in. with a 4 bbl. Rochester Quadrajet carb, with dual exhaust. Of all the cars and trucks I have owned, I liked this car the best. Wish I still had it.

    What has been forgotten about these cars is that not only was it the first year for GM factory fitted radial tires - but that it was designed to take advantage of the radial tire design. Lots of reviews at the time gave the car kudos for its handling.

    I had a 1974 Grand Am with the exact same red interior and 8-track player, same 400 v8 with 2-barrel carb. I lived in my hometown in northern Wisconsin when I had it as a teenager and it never failed to start in the harsh, cold winters. I had to park it outside and it always started. My eyes get a little watery when I see one like yours and think what could have been...Thanks for a peek at at your beautiful Grand Am.

    I recall when a friend in 8th grade, from the "wealthier side of the tracks", his mom purchased one just like this 73 BRAND NEW, but add a maroon 1/3 or full? vinyl top. Wow. Knock my socks off. It was first year of a flexible plastic nose to avoid dents when parking it, etc. You could push a "dent" in the plastic and it popped right back out and the paint was built in the plastic, would not crack or anything negative. Pretty cool car, buckets with console, great gauges, only 2 doors, to an 8th grader used to 9 year old family sedan Ford Galaxie with only a 352 V8 and automatic for options. Fast forward to now and that 73 Grand Am styling very easily passes the "test of time". Looks great!! And not a huge full sized boat either, as was the most common cars cruising around then. Seems like the only small cars then were the occasional air cooled VW bugs whistling strangely along. Air cooled, VERY poor heat and defrost in winter, figured those Germans must be tough. Some smaller sized Plymouth Valiants and Ford Fairlanes, Chevelles or Chevy II’s. OPEC oil embargo hit October 73, gas lines, prices soared. I wonder if like 35 cents/gallon pre-embargo, then jumped to 80 cents/90 cents?? I recall 1981 and college student, $1.40/gallon was another jolt higher and I was in a guzzling 69 Plymouth 383 four barrel needing more expensive premium fuel at 10 mpg’s if a light foot. I retarded the timing to not ping on modern unleaded and regular octane gas. The older gas pumps did not have price digits to allow more than $9.99 max, if you can believe that. But if 33 cents/gal, $10 bucks would be 30 gallons. (Dad’s entire CARTON of cigarettes was $10 back then, and he should’ve quit, it got his lungs in the end, COPD. WW II and the cig co’s handed cigarettes out free to soldiers and college students. They knew they were locking in future sales profits long term). That winter President Jimmy Carter kept entire nation on Daylight Savings Time all winter to save energy. Not sure how that related to auto gas. But it felt weird riding school bus out on country roads in pitch dark at 8 a.m. Then when I got my regular driver’s license in late winter, I had a short window of about 2 WEEKS to legally drive any 2 lane highway at 70 mph. Then the entire nation severely clamped down, they meant business!!, at 55 mph INCLUDING all interstates, and lasted for years. When used to 70 mph, 55 felt like crawling. I yearned for just 60. Dad always called that "a mile a minute" as it is. 60 still seems a very good 2 lane speed. 55 still seems slow. But it is true, slow down to 50 and the mileage would be phenomenal if not road rage killed. It’s all about wind resistance. 73 Grand Am, still a work of art. Even has sexy rear side window slits, angled taillights, not plain boring vertical. A car that many young fella’s dreams were made of.

    I'd forgotten the 440 2bbl was available. Feels like most were the 4bbl - which makes sense since it cost a whopping $46 extra and gave you 30 more hp than a 400-2 with duals, and 60hp more than standard. My book says the 400 2bbl dual option (unlike the 400 4bbl dual) was only available with the 4 speed, though you can retrofit of course.

      Actually the 73 Grand Am wasn't a rare car when new. It sold pretty well being a brand new model for Pontiac in 73. They made about 43,000 of them, with 35,000 being 2 door sport coupes like this one. The rest were 4 doors. Not many left now of course, but still plenty of them to see on the internet. I happen to have a 73 GA myself :-) . Production took a dive in 74 with only about 17,000 made, and even worse in 75 with about 10,600 built.

    Designed by Jack Humbert for John DeLorean. DeLorean refused to leave Pontiac when the GM execs transferred him to Chevrolet in 1971 to work with Pete Estes on the Chevy Vega compact economy car. DeLorean kept his office at PMD until he quit GM in April 1973.
