Why Do I Want This? 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix
A late 80s Pontiac Gran Prix is a demonstrably terrible car to drive every day. It won’t be very reliable, or cheap to maintain or self parking or make you a cappuccino or any of the things we’ve become accustomed to with modern economy cars. But that shouldn’t stop you from owning one as a classic, particularly a 5-speed manual gearbox version with a combination lock for the glove box. TAKE THAT GLOVE BOX BANDITS, TRY AND GUESS THIS COMBO. YOU CAN TAKE MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER BUT YOU CAN’T HAVE MY INSURANCE INFORMATION OR MY GLOVES. Find this 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix offered for $7000 in Fremont, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Very, Very Rare 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix with a factory original 5-speed Manual transmission! Very nice condition! 1989 Pontiac Grand Prix. This is a very nice car and fun to drive. It is all original and in very good condition with good tires. I have the original window sticker and most all paperwork for services done on this vehicle. Has new power antenna, and a new headliner. This car has had regular oil changes since it was new! This car has always been garaged when not being driven!
You will look long and hard to find another in this good of condition!
I am asking $7000, but will entertain reasonable offers.

I never knew about the glove box combo on these cars. I used to carry a leather briefcase back in the day that had similar locks.
Did you see the interior of this one? It takes a special person to want to drive this one and I am not talking about the manual shift transmission!
I know that 25 Muppets died to cover those seats, but I like it. Does that make me special? I sure hope so!
think this needs to be in the lips of new owner. “I just picked this ride up for a song. Always name my cars. Care to go for a ride in Bordello?”
I just dont know what to say.
Somewhere there is a retired Pontiac designer who is *still* pissed that they sourced some of the dash buttons and miscellaneous plastic bits from a subcontractor who wasn’t willing to make a run of red plastic bits without charging 3.5 cents extra.
