classic vintage chrome 400 v8 th400 transmission grand prix black

When Pontiac first introduced the Grand Prix to replace one of its existing models, they likely had no idea that it would so quickly go on to become one of America's most coveted muscle cars, attracting legions of admirers with its performance-centric appearance, which included a broad, roomy engine compartment easily capable of housing a sizable V8. This 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix very effectively captures the model as its first generation was nearing a close and appropriately features a strong... running big block under its hood to go along with the magnetic color draped over its exterior. The Root Beer Brown Metallic shade this Gran Prix wears is distinctive enough to stand out in any crowd and adds a tasteful element of customization. While there's already plenty of curb appeal on display here as it is, a trip to the paint booth for a freshening up would make a substantial difference. The pair of added amber fog lights sit to each side of the split grille that would remain a defining Pontiac styling feature for a long time to come, while farther back, the hood-mounted tachometer was a sought after feature in its day. It's a sort of precursor to the "heads up" display offered in Corvettes over the years, allowing the driver to focus more closely on what's in front of him/her while monitoring RPMs. The overall condition of the chrome on this classic is very solid and the color-matched rear bumper is a well-executed additional touch. Inside, a pair of late model buckets take the place of the originals, offering substantially more comfort and support while blending well with their surroundings. The overall appearance of the interior is appealingly vintage, with a number of aftermarket add-ons to set it apart, including carbon fiber accents on the center console and dash and a set of aftermarket gauges positioned just in front of the shifter. Capped off by a headliner, door panels and carpeting that are all looking good, this is a striking driving environment. The air conditioning has been converted to modern refrigerant, and with a strong compressor humming away under the hood, you and your passengers will have no trouble getting comfortable on warmer days. The trunk space is substantial - there'll be no issues stowing plenty of luggage for any weekend jaunts you might wish to take, and the rock-solid running condition of this vintage Pontiac will make such outings easily realized. The 400 cubic inch V8 eagerly standing by under the hood is a period correct powerplant and it's really running strong. It sits in a nicely detailed engine compartment, armed with both an Edelbrock high rise intake manifold and a Holley 4 barrel carb, and sings a deep, commanding note into the pair of aftermarket headers leading out to its Pypes dual exhaust. The 3-speed automatic TH400 transmission just behind it is shifting with slip free precision, so this is a very smoothly functioning drivetrain ready for action just as soon as you get it home. Farther forward, an aluminum radiator teams with a pair of electric fans to keep operating temperatures under control in more demanding driving situations, and an HEI ignition has also been added to maximize available spark. Coil springs at both ends equip this GM classic with a smooth ride, while power brakes that feature discs up front provide fade resistant stopping ability as it cruises on a set of 18" jet black Boss wheels wrapped with Michelin tires that appear to have quite a bit of tread left on them. This 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix is a sharp looking, strong running classic that would be a fitting centerpiece of any garage. Call today!
