Good lord, I didn't know those were still around.

Here is inspiration to what it was and what it could be...

Haha, the New "Ford Cruising Van". Would that have non-PC connotations nowadays?

Also, I think the bumper sticker on the wagon at top says "easy does it". That would have to stay .

That would almost be a fun project, if for no other reason than to remind yourself just how bad cars were in 1978.

And I still want one.

Welcome aboard Dwayne.

Woody,my RX-7 is from 1978,and it is a great car. What are you talking about?

Okay, most cars from '78...

I'd love to own a '79 RX7 like yours.

I think I've been on this board too long 'cause I think that car is awesome. I'll take mine with a boosted 2.3 please. Anyone know where I can find the matching van?

Gee, I've got a 3.8 Supercharged V6.

OMG, good thing I am broke. I want!

Brian

I'm seeing a dark to light blue paint transition with air brushed planets, stars and a half naked girl in there somewhere. El Cheapo Wal-Mart chrome slotted wheels would be period correct also.

There's actually a matching van somewhere in my area. When I stumble upon it again, I'll pass on the info.

There is a sweet Sunrise Red one on eBay now in VA. It is automatic,but that can be fixed in a weekend real easy. It is even cleaner looking than mine,and a bit earlier as well.

Dan,

Do you have any idea the awesomeness you could accomplish in life if you'd stop cruising junk car pron?

Besides, you're enabling me.

I want that van.

My awsomeness peaked a long time ago .....

There's a guy one town over who drives an all brown version of that pinto, year round.

I've seen one of those in Can-Am trim a former race car in a junk yard with all sorts of cool old racers in VT.

I just learned of a 1974 pontiac Can Am hiding in a garage, hasn't been on the street in 20 years. What's the deal on these? Looks like a luxo-barge racer wannabe so we can sell it yuppies car to me.

Dan

Are you sure it's not a '74 Grand Am?

Rebadged Laguna. It predates yuppies. Preppies, even.

No, Can-Am.

Very rare, high performance personal luxury. Shaker hood, wing, the whole bit.

The Grand-Am above isn't a rebadged Laguna, it's simply another A-body GM product. The Grand-Am came with Pontiac power, not Chevy bits.

The Grand-Am is basicly what's left of the GTO family after the GTO name was stuffed on a mid-size platform.

My buddy has a '74 Grand Am 400 and it handles and drives very nicely.

Shawn

Yep, Can Am. I didn't nnotice the wing, but I caught the Shaker hood.

My bad.
