Wow. I have never ever seen an SD Grand Am for sale. I wonder how many they made? I would thing they would be huge money cars.

None - that's the answer. Only available in the Trans Am and Formula Firebirds. There is a pale yellow one that someone created as a WHAT IF car.

IF . . . Pontiac made one for themselves - so what? Ever see the photo of Zora driving a 1969 LS7 454 Corvette? Manufacturers make mules and experimental cars all the time. I have posted many of them.

You could get an SD455 4spd in a Grand Am?
I was thinking of this car - which also never made it to production:
