Check out this"G" code Poncho. I went and looked at it today. It's in pretty good shape and a real super duty 421 single four mill. Not sure of the engine year? Original knee knocker tach too. http://oregoncoast.craigslist.org/cto/3663915434.html
Agreed, too bad it's so far away. Those tilt light,and big rear taillight Grand Prix's were a super looking car.
Unkledave - I've someone VERY interested - could you verify options? Looks like P/S, P/B, P/W, A/C, buckets, console from what I could see - any others noticed??
I had a '67 GP convertible, first and last year made, bought it for 125 bucks and it ran like a bear, I loved that car. They look like the TV Batmobile from the front, mine was "The Bat". That isn't a factory installed tach, that would have a hood tach like the GTO if you ordered the option. They only came with the 400 and the optional 428 so that 421 has to be out of something else. It would still be a real nice engine to have. If the code on the engine under the serial number is a 28G or 25G it would be a '63 High Output engine with an automatic , no other years had the G designation. A guy needing an engine for a '63 HO car resto would pay real good bucks for that thing. The '63 Super Duty engines are a whole different animal and the car would be gone and the steal of the century if it was one, but you never know? The HO is the tamed down junior street version, the early Super Duty engines were wild beasts. I'd be on that thing like a bum on a McDouble.
Why don't you or the interested person just call the seller and ask him?? Why play forum tag?? I'll call and ask him for a slight prepaid fee, I take Paypal. It may have the Deluxe steering wheel from what you can see. You can see it doesn't have cruise control, bucket seat headrests or an 8 track. Power vent windows weren't available on the hardtop GP so it can't have those, my convertible did.
Brookings cars = rust. The shady side will start growing stuff in a couple days. Interior mold can be a bear.
For $1,500, that would make a terrific parts car if you had a '67 wagon. There's a guy in Phoenix, AZ with a bright blue one - put a GP front end on it. In Canada, you could get a 'Grandville Safari (I think that's what it was called), comparable to US's Bonneville, and it came with the GP front end already.
The Grandvilles had the hide away headlamps but not the front turn signals from the Grand Prix. The GP was an expensive car here because they were American built, so subject to a great deal of duty when they were brought across the border. My Great Uncle Norm had one, pale yellow with the black interior and top. I still remember the day he showed up with that car. I still remember the first time I saw what he replaced it with, too; a Firethorn Red 77 Grand LeMans 2 door with the white interior, buckets and console, and 350 under the hood. No idea what happened to the GP, but always did want that one! Always did love the Grandville models too. They were really lovely, and trimmed very like a nice Buick. Unfortunately, they were priced like a nice Buick, too, so you really had to want a Pontiac to justify the price.
Seems like a deal even if it was just for parts. But I'd hope that someone does more than that with it. And it's not a tach in the picture, it's a vac gauge.
that's all of it. The 421 is questionable but who cares? Cool car. Some rust but nothing that can't be fixed. Dave
the body was in decent shape, it would be a waste just to use it as an organ donor, except if you were going to swap parts and keep the Station wagon as your hotrod and convert the classic into a humdrum I can't imagine a full-sized car not having PS. It might only look that way, because they mounted the pump so low This is what the tacho should have looked like:
