About

This car was purchase in Jan of '01, with a (high) 89,234 miles. It NOW only has only 112,000 orig miles on it.
The first owner (I'm the 2nd) maintained and BABIED this car so much and then "I" bought it ! Which meant MOBIL one every 3k...washed weekly, kept IMMACULATE, tons of NEW 'GM' parts installed. I
This red GT coupe def had an AIR BAG SUSPENSION in its future, but we wanted to create a 'one of a kind' while keeping it relatively stock looking.
The '96 Grand Am was my "daily driver" for the first year & half or so. Since the end of '02 this car has barely even seen rain. It's been kept in pristine condition.
I gotta give it up though now, as I no longer have the TIME to keep this car immaculate like I did. (TOO many other cars now - tttsh) haha

The INSIDE of this car is like BRAND NEW. SERIOUSLY a GORGEOUS car, and soooooo fun, unfortunately for ME... I have too many cars to keep this one now and maintain and show it like I used to. So, it will soon be in the hands of a close friend. Maybe it will still be at some good car shows in Pittsburgh though. Ya never know... ; )
