Too late...... 
It’s a 78’ Pontiac Grand Prix LJ, the last new car the owner ever bought. Driven for a while, then put it into storage around 1993. Stayed in storage until about a year or so ago when she brought it out and was in the process of having it made road ready again (new tires, new brake lines, a few other misc things that went bad while it sat) but sadly, she passed away before it was finished.
A family friend arranged to sell it for them, and that’s who I picked it up from, mostly because he said he kinda wanted to see it go to a good home, someone who’d fix it up/care for it as opposed to chop it up for a lowrider or put it in a demo derby.
This is a VERY nice car as you can see, and it’s loaded (Keep in mind, most of this stuff wasn’t standard for a car in 1978)
-Power Seats
-Power Windows
-Power Locks
-Bucket seats
-Rear Defroster
-3 Speed automatic transmission
-301 Pontiac V8 w/ optional 4BB carb
The only thing wrong body-wise is the rear filler panels between the body and bumper have fallen out, a casualty of UV light exposure, makes the plastic brittle, but if I replace that, the car would be show-ready.
Mechanically, it needs a new radiator (old one rusted in storage, replacement was in back seat) and electrically, the oil gauge doesn’t work, and the turn signals work on the outside ,but the interior indicator does not. Easy fixes.
Man, I love this thing already.

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
