Vehicle Description
A true premium range-topping full-sized coupe, this 1962 Pontiac
Grand Prix is the car that launched the legend. So when you can get
a coupe in a terrific color combo, enhanced V8 power, and a ton of
originality, this is one special classic.
Pontiac really understood how to bring performance and luxury in
equal measures. They decided to really showcase this in '62 with
the introduction of the Grand Prix. The Wide Track look was really
taking effect with the quad headlights, broad split grille, and
taillights that were pushed all the way to the corners. And with
all this sheetmetal, we love the upgrade to a professional
application of slick black paint that has a piano-like luster. Not
only does it look great on its own, but also it provides a fine
showcase for all of the brightwork. The well-integrated chrome
bumpers, full trim surrounding the hardtop profile, and Pontiac's
distinct 8-lug wheels really help make this a true boulevard
king.
Inside is more of the merging of sporty and premium. You see this
best on the seats. The factory-correct saddle tan is a great
complementing color to the exterior, and in fact, it's the kind of
color combo you often see on modern cars. Not only do you get
bucket seats up front, but the premium texture was exclusive to the
Grand Prix. Plus, there's plenty of room in the back to carry
family and friends. And they even have a fold-down armrest when
they want individual comfort. The curved windshield, ultra-wide
dash, and stylish center console give this a feeling of expansive
luxury. Plus, everything from the AM radio to the center-mounted
tachometer are working in this well-maintained interior. This coupe
has averaged less than 1,400 miles annually, and the proof is in
the level of preservation.
The engine bay stays faithful to this car's original image right
down to the black air cleaner, factory decals, and turquoise paint
on the block. Fans of the soon-to-come GTO know the Pontiac 389
cubic-inch V8, and it's a great powerplant to have here, too.
There's a bit more grand touring weight in the Grand Prix compared
to the Goats, but that isn't a problem for this big power,
four-barrel carb motor. Advertised at 305 horsepower, it was able
to deliver on the Pontiac's performance promise. And this one has
the added secret of a newer Quick Fuel four-barrel carburetor (the
original four-barrel comes with the sale, too.) Then you add in
great features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power
brakes, power steering, and a supple ride. It's this fast moving
and luxury cruising attitude that makes the coupe so desirable.
