    I think this is only the 2nd 75-77 Grand Prix I have ever seen without A/C, a very base model car 350 2bbl V8, bench seat, no Landau Top, Manual windows & Locks. It looks to be very low miles in very nice condition. But I don't know if a low option 73-77 GP will bring the over $13,000 asking price. Location will not help either.

    Frankly, having a nicely=equipped car is far more important to me than one with super-low mileage. I wouldn't want this - at ANY price.

    The only options I see are sport mirrors and AM/ FM and the wires (if it left the factory with them, which I would doubt).

    Agreed - I would not want it either.

    I actually think the Sport Mirrors were standard in 76/77. I also believe the Bumper rub strips are standard those years also, I only see the AM/FM Radio ( I don't think it is a Stereo unit either) & I don't see a rear speaker grill in the package tray, but there is not a good picture of that area. Heck it does not even have a Tilt Column in it.

    The dealer invoice says it is a AM/FM Stereo 8-Track

    I went to the dealer's site, here are some a odd ball part pictures. Passenger side A/C vent block off plate.

    Looks Like it had the Base Full Wheel covers judging by the one on the spare tire. But they are Pontiac 15" wire wheel covers.

    Under Hood Pictures, it does look like a low mile odd ball car.

    Took awhile to find, but here is a 1976 GP without sport mirrors. Driver's mirror is not even remote control.

    I don't claim to be any great shakes as a photographer but even I know you need a contrasting background to have a subject "pop". Believe that car is better than as presented.

    That's become a common photo "technique" as of late.

    An utterly sterile setting.

    A sterile setting and a bland photograph. One leads to the other, but I would think a dealer would be more interested in commerce than art. If this keeps up we could have companies more interested in political correctness and virtue signaling than in commerce. Nah, that would never happen.

    I stand corrected, I could not find any listing of 76 GP Standard Features on line, and it is one of the few years between 66-81 that I do not have a dealer binder to reference.

    The dealer was doomed to have taken on a grey on grey car (who wouldn't have ordered a red interior?). I would have chosen a more vibrant background
