1978 Pontiac Grand Am LeMans review from North America
"A gas guzzler but well worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter keeps going out. And it's really hard to find emission parts for this car.
General comments?
It a very comfortable. The previous owner, my mother, didn't care for it very much. She did routine oil changes and tune-ups on the car but that pretty was much it. Now I'm trying to restore it because I love the way it rides.
