It's too bad so many of them were scrapped early in their life. The MoPars of the day, didn't have much of a demand on the used car market. Poor fit and finish, as well as an early rusting problem, sealed their demise.

I hear a lot of guys mention how they made great demo-derby cars... that or the Hemis were pulled out by the hot rodders.

This car came from the California central valley... only rust problem is a spot about an inch round on the rear passenger side rocker. It was garage kept and still has the original vinyl padded dash and door panels.

I loved my grand am that i transplanted a w41 ho quad four into.
Drove it for over 20 years put over 450,000 miles on it
Very fast and cheap to own
I did all of the repairs and maintenance my self.
No prelude ever out ran me

My w41 was extrude honed had hollow aftermarket cams - - etc
Lots of modifications
It had about 230+ hp and it was reliable

I drove it very hard all the time like a idiot.
