1962 Pontiac Grand Prix - Cold Ac, Tri Power & 8 Lugs on 2040-cars
Keller, Texas, United States
1962 Pontiac Grand Prix – First year of GP and a one year
only body style. Far less common than
63+ with stacked headlights. This car is Grand Prix white over red upholstery. To my knowledge this car started out as a 421
non Air conditioned automatic. It now
has a late 60s 400 with 400 Turbo trans, super authentic 65 Tri Power set up,
with alternator and an aftermarket 60s style UNDERDASH AC which blows
COLD. Compressor was painted satin black
to mimic the original Frigidaire units. So, while not numbers matching, this car is extremely authentic
looking and very very period correct.
Some of the details: ·
Correct 1962 8 lug wheels with correct center
caps/trim rings and period correct red line tires ·
Correct Delco tar Top battery, although it has solid
gel maintenance free guts ·
Correct battery cables ·
Correct hose clamps, be they top post or pinch style ·
Correct Optikleen bottle ·
Correct stainless wipers ·
Correct hoses ·
Correct spark plug wires ·
Correct spark plug wire looms ·
Correct radiator coolant cap ·
Correct radiator coolant tag ·
Correct fuel filter ·
Reproduction carburetor tags ·
Correct chrome valve covers and tall breather ·
Correct decals for rad, fan and battery under hood ·
New under hood insulation ·
Patented “Mouse Trap” seat belt retractors with
correct operational tags ·
Optional Door handle scuff plates ·
Optional Stainless gas tank cap trim ·
Correct console mounted vacuum gage ·
Period correct 120 degree sweep tachometer, steering column
mounted ·
Original clear and red wheel with gold logo Grand Prix
center ·
No glass problems ·
Optional Reel type truck light(not working) ·
Perfect original headliner with 2 side mounted dome
lights ·
Original Pontiac/Delco AM radio in dash. Aftermarket AM/FM stereo in glove box. ·
Vintage decals/stickers in quarter windows and on rear
bumper. All will come off, or keep on
for that authentic look. When is the
last time you saw a cool car on the road with a Goldwater for President sticker? ·
1962 TX plates.
Matching front and rear AC blows
cold, lights/horn works, car runs strong, and paint is very very nice. NO tears in the upholstery, power steering is
tight and car tracts well. Car “needs”
nothing and starts right up. Since 98%
of what can be done is done and I have just retired, it’s time to throttle back
and downsize. My loss is your gain. Go to any car show and be the only one with
an “original” 421 Tri Power AC 8 lug wheel GP in white with a RED interior no
less. You will see far more 409 Chevies
at car shows than 421 GPs. Ask
questions or bid on this rare and great 50+ year old car, which I gotta say is
sold as is. Nick - yellowtestarossa@aol.com |

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
