1974 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J

Only 35,000 Documented One Owner Miles

Documented Yearly Service History For Many Years



Original and Unmolested


Just Awakened After Many Years of Garage Slumber!


Rare Opportunity............................LOW RESERVE





Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer possibly the nicest 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix Available anywhere! 1974 was the Last model year of regular leaded fuel, and NO catalytic converters!!! This one is equipped with the Pontiac 400 4 Barrel V8 with a Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmission, and straight dual exhaust!!! It is nicely equipped with Factory A/C, Power Windows, Power Trunk Release, and an AM/ FM Radio. Buckets and a console make it that much more desirable!!! Pontiac lovers everywhere get weak in the knees when one like this becomes available. A One family owned, always serviced Grand Prix that was apparently treated like one of the family! Examples like this one are unheard of!

This 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix was purchased on August 7, 1974 at Jack Roley Pontiac in Belle Vernon, Pa. It has spent it's entire life in the area, always garaged and pampered by it's original owners in Charleroi, Pa. Purchased as a gift for his loving wife to drive the short distances to the grocery store and church on Sunday. After He passed, it basically was retired to the garage where I found it. It had been sitting, unused since 2001. There are many detailed photos below, along with the last state safety inspection invoice dated December 12, 2001 with 34,936 miles. It had only been driven TWO(2) miles since the previous years inspection in 2000. I have many many years of past invoices documenting the low low mileage that will accompany the car, along with it's original license plate(photo below). We also have all of the owners books, AND the factory issued window sticker listing the many options!

Since awakening, we have replaced the battery, and changed the oil and oil filter(Brad Penn with Zinc). The air filter is also new, along with all 8 A/C spark plugs. We also replaced the radiator, upper and lower hoses, and all three fan belts. The tires were new sometime in 2001, and are a tad on the lumpy side. As I drive the car, they seem to be improving. Replacement is recommended for long distance driving.

This Gorgeous 1974 Grand Prix runs and drives fantastic. I have put close to 100 miles on it. It shifts nice and smooth, and there are no shakes, vibrations, or unpleasant noises!! The A/C blows nice and cold, and is still charged with R12. The front radio speaker is dead, but the rear sounds great. Everything else works as it did in 1974. The Colonial Gold paint is 90% original, as is the Black interior. Chrome and brightwork is gorgeous with no pitting anywhere. There is one small rust blister on the bottom of the passenger front fender. Underneath is as nice as above, with no rust or rot anywhere!!

Remember....They are original only Once!!!



Take a look at the 50 plus photographs below and see the actual pristine condition of this One of A Kind Pontiac Grand Prix.

By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below.

Many Thanks for Your Interest!
Good Luck with Your Bidding!!


Our Colonial Gold Grand Prix was purchased new in August of 1974 at Jack Roley Pontiac in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania






You can tell by the condition of the Original paint that this Beauty was Always Garaged and Pampered!!










There is a small ding in the left rear quarter panel. Paintless dent removal should remove this easily!





The Original Colonial Gold Paint Just Glistens in the sun. Pretty much the same way it did 40 years ago!!  A few minor nicks and scratches from normal usage, but certainly nothing to deter from the Beauty and Originality of This 1 Owner GP!!


Note the absence of pitting.......Simply amazing for a  40 year old car!


In this Photo you can see the last time it was registered and licensed.......Also included is the original license plate that was issued in 1974.











The exterior is in fantastic condition and is certainly commensurate with the low mileage and excellent care our Gorgeous Grand Prix has seen throughout its 40 year life.

Nice and Straight!!!!


No rust bubbles under the vinyl top!!





When was the last time that you saw one this nice and original??


.


Small blister on the passenger fender!








I drove these cars in my youth, as I am sure you did also!!! I had a 1973, and a 1975 when I was in my twenties...a VERY long time ago!


The black pin stripes were painted on at the factory FORTY years ago!!





The front bumper fillers could use paint. I decided to leave it original, and let the new owner decide!!





The chrome front bumper is also free of pitting!


Filler needs painted here also





This is one Gorgeous Grand Prix!!


Gorgeous Wood Trim!











Original GM Mats!







 How Beautiful is that dash??!



 


 


 

Note how clean the jambs are all around!



They are only original once!!!!




Truly a Pampered and Pedigreed Grand Prix!!













I would guess that this is one of the best survivors out there!!







Radial tuned suspension........A Pontiac exclusive!



 

Look at that wood console.......Awesome!



This was mighty special in 1974.....when the bench seat was common!




Factory Air Conditioning AND AM FM Radio.....WOW!!!

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The 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.
