Top Of Line Lj. Original Owner. Original Paint, Original Drivetrain. Low Miles. on 2040-cars

To start with, let me first say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However, for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money, I feel that there is never too much information.

As to myself, I am not a dealer, just a (63) year old kid that still loves muscle cars. I am now retired, having managed a Correctional Facility here in Maine and worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for over (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,039) transactions. Many of those have been muscle cars which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada, England, Switzerland and Australia.

As to this Grand Prix that I am selling, it is for the wife of a person I worked with for the last 15 years who unexpectedly passed away a few months ago. He was a true GM man and this particular car was his baby and was the one car he always told me he would never sell and he stuck to his word to the end. My hope is that it will be passed on to another family who will love it and care for it as this family has done for the past 38 years. The reality is that you simply do not find all original, low mileage, classics like this anymore. And when you do, you need to treat them as you would a piece of fine art. That is how I feel about all of these classic cars (fine art) as once they are gone, they are gone forever.

The 1975 GP was essentially a carry-over from 1974, in terms of styling. The few changes made were concentrated in the grille, which received fewer vertical slats, and in the taillights, which were now more vertical.

The Grand Prix lineup now consisted of three models, all based on the same body. First was the standard coupe, next up was the SJ, which was now the "sporty" version, followed by the new luxury LJ. The three varied somewhat in terms of available upholstery and trim levels.

This was the first year for mandatory use of unleaded fuel and catalytic converters, so 1975 models saw some significant changes in emissions control devices—and a subsequent reduction in horsepower. All Pontiac V8s received the High Energy Ignition System, which was said to deliver three times the firing power to the spark plugs, and allowed for a wide (0.060-inch) plug gap. This resulted in more complete combustion, which aided efficiency and reduced emissions somewhat.

The base engine was a 400 4-barrel, now advertised at 185 hp, down a full 40 horses. A federally certified 400 2-barrel was also optional in all models. The 455 4-barrel put out a rather wheezy 200 horses, and was standard in the SJ. Whether the power reduction in the Poncho engine lineup was actually as severe as advertised has been the topic of some controversy, but either way, it wasn't a good sign for enthusiasts.

Production figures for the Grand Prix continued to drop. The 1975 total was 86,582 units, of which 64,581 were standard models, 7,146 SJs, and the remaining 14,855 the new LJ coupes.

Pontiac built a very unusual concept vehicle in this period. While it was not a glimpse at the next-generation GP, it was intended to preview upcoming features of future Grand Prix. The car had a hand-formed aluminum body and a non-production, all-aluminum 250-cubic-inch Pontiac V8. Unfortunately, the car was never completed and never shown, most likely because it was far more advanced than the vehicles it was intended to preview. It disappeared without a trace and has not been seen since.

Okay, let's go back to 1975 for a moment. “Love Will Keep us Together” by Captain and Tennille, was Billboards number one song and who could forget the Reds beating the Red Sox in 7 games for the World Series? In that same year, in Rockland Maine, a local gentleman was sitting in Moody Pontiac waiting to take home his new 1975 Grand Prix LJ. You didn’t have to check too many boxes as the LJ model was already loaded. He drove that car home and told his wife that he would never sell his beauty and he kept his word all of those 38 years. This car was loved and cared for like part of the family. Never driven in the winter or inclement weather. Yes the wipers were used occasionally when the car was caught in a small rain burst but that is the only time it would see rain. Obviously stored most of its life as is indicated by the extremely low mileage, the car was actually placed on blocks during the winter months to ensure that the spring tension would not be effected.

So for your consideration is this one-owner, beautiful and original 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ with the 455 4BBL engine and automatic transmission. The odometer shows 21,887 miles which is completely original. The Grand Prix LJ has all original "rust free" body panels and undercarriage.

Including all of the standard options as well as the sun roof, the LJ option added the following amenities to an already loaded car:

·       Power Door Locks;

·       Power Windows;

·       Cordova Top;

·       Added Acoustic Installation;

·       Luggage Compartment Trim;

·       Lamp Group;

·       Cornering Lamps;

·       Sport Mirrors;

·       LH Visor Mirror;

·       RH Visor Mirror;

·       Litter Container;

·       Custom Finned Wheel Covers;

·       Spare Tire Cover;

·       Bumper Guards.

Normally, this is where I go into all of the casting numbers and dates to prove originality or not as well as comments on the overall condition of different areas of the car. However, I will not waste your time with this Grand Prix LJ. Virtually all areas and major components are in very good to excellent original condition including hoses, trim, rims and tires.

My Comments:  Are you serious! I personally have never seen a more original, one-owner classic muscle car than this 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ. Enough said. Look at the photos and video and see for yourself. If you are looking for a winter beater, this is not for you. If you are looking for a real classic, this car is definitely for you.

Also, please don't forget that any and all original documentation when and if found will be sent to the new owner ASAP.

As with all of the cars that I sell on eBay, the easiest way for a prospective buyer to get a sense for my cars is with tons of information and loads of photos and a video. Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them and respond ASAP.
