Hello everyone, glad to be here. I just picked up a clean 1976 Malibu Classic this past weekend. Had been looking for one for awhile now was happy to find a really nice low mileage one close to home. My parents but a '76 in 1978 and we grew up with that as our daily driver. Myself, my brother and my sister all used it at one point or anther as our primary driver as well as we all reached that driving age. Sadly it got very neglected and the body just went away on it (one winter in Ohio! we live in Kansas). We still have it and I would LOVE to restore it still someday but I'm glad to have found another one to replace it for now.

Welcome! There are many members here that are replacing their first car. What part of Kansas are you from?

Welcome aboard sir. I've had mine now for 4 years and I found it in a barn. Still a work in progress. But aren't they all?

Hi all. I’m Jim from southern Maryland. My ride of choice is a 1974 Grand Am with a 455. Starlight black with Oxblood interior.

When I was in high school, 1980ish, I had a 74 Grand Am then as well. I always regretted selling it and swore someday I would have another. That day came last fall when I found one in Albany New York. Drove up there over a long weekend In October and brought her home.

Welcome to the site! Have always loved the looks of the Grand Am. Just don't see many of them, unfortunately. Bucket seats? Console? Factory trumpet horns?

by Homer J on Tue Jun 23, 2020 10:45 am

Yes to all three. I was quite surprised it still had the trumpet horns. The one I had in high school had them too. Funny story about those horns. I grew up in a resort town that had various amusement areas. One place had a water slide and bumper boats. The bumper boat place had a horn that they blew when your time was up, and it sounded exactly like my Grand Am horns. I liked to drive past and blow my horn just to watch everyone think they were getting cheated on their time in the boats.

by Mcarlo77 on Tue Jun 23, 2020 3:25 pm

Ha...great story! The sound is so unique. I pulled a pair of working horns off a '74 Grand Am sitting in a JY in my area and plan to mount them on my '75 Laguna.
