1970 Pontiac Grand Prix
History
The Grand Prix Coupes were a line of automobiles produced by the
Pontiac Division of General Motors from 1962 through 2002. First
introduced as part of Pontiac's full-size car model offering for
the 1962 model year, the marque varied repeatedly in size, luxury,
and performance during its lifespan.
Why This Car Is So Special
Given the success of the '69 Grand Prix, Pontiac would have been
foolish to change much for 1970. With that in mind, exterior
updates were limited to smaller details such as grille and
taillight textures, and the repositioning of exterior trim. The
1970 Pontiac Grand Prix we have here at Skyway Classics embodies
those subtle changes and more.
Mechanical
Our Pontiac has the new 455 for 1970 that was similar to the 428
H.O. it replaced, but lacked the high-flow exhaust manifolds, and
was subsequently rated at 370 hp. Transmission usage was the Turbo
400 automatic that was offered as a no cost option.
Our engine looks like it retains all the original factory parts
including power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. Most
parts look original including the carb, intake, valve covers, and
factory exhaust manifolds.
Suspension is conventional, independent front with upper and lower
A-arms, coil springs and an anti-roll bar; rear control arms and
coil springs.
Check out the optional Factory Rally II wheels and BFG Radial T/A
performance tires as well as the dual exhaust coming out the
rear.
Interior
The Grand Prix comes with a tan Strato bucket seat interior with
Morrokide upholstery that also looks great and as it was from the
factory. The dashboard was state of the art back then and still
looks great today with matching carpet, door panels, headliner, and
the rear seat.
The floor console with the shifter sits between the seats. The
gauge panel has all factory gauges and the radio that looks
original too.
Exterior
Our Grand Prix looks great with it's vibrant white paint job
trimmed in gold on the hood and half roof. Of course the GP's
central V-nose grille is famous and was copied by many other cars.
The windshield incorporated the radio antenna, and the backlight
was fitted with the GP-exclusive defroster wires. Grand Prix
nameplates are from the lower cowls to the rear C-pillars and the
vertical chromed louvers from the C-pillars down to the lower
cowls, highlighted our 1970 Grand Prix.
Conclusions
The 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix we have at Skyway Classics is just like
what the Pontiac ads of the day proclaimed, "For people who want
their Luxury cars sporty."
It is a whole lot of car with a lot of performance, an amazingly
styled interior, a lot of factory correct parts that makes it
retain the originality to back when it drove on the streets in the
70's. Check it out today.
