Without a doubt Pontiac has had much to contribute to the automotive industry, to be specific to the North American automotive scene. Founded in 1926 as a division of General Motors, Pontiac went on to produce some of the most recognizable and endearing vehicles until its demise in 2010, almost 100 years after its establishment. A well-known Pontiac is the Grand Prix, which was produced from 1962 to 2008., under eight generations. The fifth generation produced from 1977 to 1987 is considered a great classical muscle car. Up for grabs is a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ with just 98,000 miles on the clock and reportedly owned by the same owner for the past 41 years.
This 2-door 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ comes bedecked in a no-nonsense black and with a fit of flair thanks to the gold pinstriping around the vehicle. The front features quad rectangular headlights with an elaborate chrome crosshatch grille and front bumper. Revised rear taillight lenses in a chrome bezel add character to it. Reportedly a set of OEM Pontiac branded wheels painted in chrome and black surrounded by white-walled tires grace the Grand Prix. The LJ is the luxury trim of the Grand Prix, and as such, it is appointed with a velour cloth interior in Camel Tan and extended to the carpets, door trim, and dash. The bucket seats feature rudimentary power functions. Chrome trimming is very much evident in the interior amalgamated with the velour cloth trim. The instrument panel is embedded in the faux wood trim. The seller reports that the interior is all original apart from the aftermarket Sony CD/radio player connected to a custom sound system comprising three amplifiers, one subwoofer, five front speakers, and two rear speakers. The air conditioning has been upgraded to 13-A specification for better cooling. The original radio is included with the sale as well.
Beneath the luxury and grand looks, this 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ comes equipped with a snarling 301cu (4.9L) Pontiac V8 engine with a two-barrel carburetor coupled to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission spewing out 135hp of power. It is reported that the engine is original. The car comes with dual exhausts and dual catalytic converters. Stopping power is enhanced by the front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
There is no doubt that Pontiac's 1960s-era cars would not have been as exciting as they were without the vision, insights, and pure determination that GM's automobile engineer and executive John DeLorean had. He and his creative team of automotive designers and engineers transformed ordinary cars into intriguing vehicles. The 1969-1970 Pontiac Grand Prix was a great example of this. The Grand Prix was first offered for the 1962 model year. Pontiac created this sporty personal luxury two-door car to compete with Ford's Thunderbird. The Grand Prix from 1969 to 1970 was available in two models, Model J being the base model. What we have here is a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J with 38,500 original miles on its clock. It has all servicing up to date and you get three keys and the original owner's manual with the sale of this car.
The Pontiac Grand Prix is a series of cars produced for over eight generations, spanning 40 years from 1962 through 2008. Until 1987 and up to the end of its fifth generation, the Grand Prix was strictly a 2-door full-size rear-wheel-drive coupe (except for the 1967-only convertible model). However, in its last three generations, the Grand Prix was offered as a front-wheel-drive car in both coupe and sedan body styles. This 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe we have here belongs to the maiden model year of the Grand Prix nameplate. The first-gen Grand Prix was marketed only for three model years until 1964. Hence, this classic machine is a rare collectible in its stock form. This particular car, however, is even more special. It has been modified into a Super Duty version, which was a more powerful special edition of the Grand Prix. To put it simply, this 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Super Duty Tribute has several upgraded components, including a new Super-Duty-spec 421ci engine with less than 1,000 reported miles on it. The car is in exceptional condition, and the current owner reports a new set of tires and a recent oil change.
The Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe, manufactured by the Pontiac Division of General Motors, first emerged as a performance-oriented grand tourer. Introduced in 1962 and produced until 2002, this iconic creation demonstrates the marketing brilliance of Bunkie Knudsen, who ordered the addition of the Grand Prix to the Pontiac model lineup. Moreover, this model was given to him as a parting gift after six impactful years as division general manager of GM. Today, it is a desirable classic with an appeal that reaches beyond the mechanical. We are delighted to offer you the opportunity to become the proud owner of this exquisite 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe. Bearing only 56,800 original miles on its odometer, it currently remains in New York awaiting its next buyer.
One of the most influential cars of the '60s, the GTO was a slap in the face of corporate America. When General Motors banned their auto divisions from going racing, savvy people like Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean found a way round it. They realized that they could just offer race-ready street-legal machines to customers, who could then, ahem, do as they pleased with them. Enter the GTO, its name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO no less. What better way to enjoy the fruits of their labor than with this first-generation, fully restored 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that we’ve got for sale right here? Step right up folks, here’s your chance to own an American icon.
In 2002, after a glorious run across four generations, the Pontiac Firebird was due to be put to pasture. Pontiac’s iconic pony car was saying goodbye to the world, although its Camaro sister car would continue for over two more decades. It was a sad year for enthusiasts, given that the Firebird had become quite cult hero. The second generation starred as Jim Rockford’s car in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation became Knight Rider’s KITT, one of the most-loved cars of the silver screen. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automotive nameplate with a similar level of recognition by the public due to its Hollywood appearances. So, if you want to own a Firebird from the last year of production, and one with some serious power under the hood, check out this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. This 116,000-mile car packs quite a wallop and has undergone handling and braking upgrades too.
The Pontiac GTO was born out of sheer grit, a bit of cheekiness, and a desire to circumvent official company rules that seemed ridiculous. By the early 1960s, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from participating in auto racing. This meant that divisions could no longer field machines that could duke it out across America, and fight for who made the fastest car. Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t sell potent, street-legal cars for customers to use to race. This was what John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins came up with. The result was the GTO, with the name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO. The GTO ran for five generations before throwing in the towel by 2006. That makes first and second generation GTOs excellent classic cars that can still burn rubber in anger when desired. This 1968 Pontiac GTO is one such car. This 38,000-mile, numbers-matching machine has been restored, with many mechanical parts replaced as well.
