PRICE LOWERED $8,000!! This is a wonderfully preserved 1967 Pontiac
Grand Prix Convertible that has lived its life garaged in Northern
California with but one owner from new. Having its original paint
and upholstery, this Grand Prix has been updated only as required.
It is incredibly rare to find such an example with this type of
provenance: One owner from new, garaged in California since new
with mostly original features. If you value a gorgeous original car
over a restored example, this is worthy of close examination. This
Grand Prix was built in the Fremont, CA assembly plant on the last
week of October and is body number 257. She is complete with all
her owner's manuals, Protect-O-Plate and a fantastic file history
from new. The file starts with its original sales invoice from
Balestra Pontiac in Redwood City, CA with a sale date of March 4,
1967. Her original owner, Philip Aaron, was a young lawyer who set
up his practice in Redwood City, CA after being discharged from the
Navy and graduating from Stanford Law School. During our test
drives we had the sense that this was quite the car. Powerful,
sleek and sexy as well as rare. The owner knew that which led him
to keep it for 55 years until his recent passing. She still wears
her original black California license plates. The livery is in its
original Montego Cream (Paint Code T1) and the paint looks
terrific. The cream paint is complimented with twin black
coachstripes and a standard strip of black vinyl to protect it from
door dings. It has been repainted years ago and there are small
sections with some lacquer cracking, but overall it is in very nice
condition with excellent shine and luster. The chrome and stainless
is in excellent condition and if it weren't for the history one
would argue that it has been restored. The chrome with without
pitting and the stainless is in excellent condition. The wheel
covers are the original Pontiac covers and are in excellent
condition. The white power convertible top is much newer and in
excellent condition with a clear rear window and an excellent
original top boot in Parchment. The interior is in overall
excellent original condition with its original Parchment (Trim Code
585) bucket seats and wood veneered dashboard and center console.
Everything appears original with the exception of the carpeting,
which could be slightly better fitted near the drivers seat. But
the dash pad has no cracks and the steering wheel appears to have
been repaired and painted years ago and looks great. The
convertible top works very well and operates silently. All the
gauges appear to function well and the AM radio works. The engine
compartment has been detailed. There are signs of earlier "rattle
can" painting but mostly it is very nice and correct, fine for
showing at local car shows. The venerable 400 cid V8 produces 350
hp with its four barrel carburetor. She performs very well as you
can see from our videos showing a test drive. The automatic
transmission also works very well shifting smoothly. The suspension
is very tight and she really drives pretty much as a new car, with
the exception of the throaty sound of the exhaust which sound
great. The chassis is devoid of rust and the trunk is in very nice
original condition with its jack and spare tire. The Hagerty No. 2
Value is $61,900 and its No. 3 Value is $33,500. Because of this
cars condition and provenance, we believe this to be valued closer
to a No. 2 example. For more details and information, please call,

inspection at the owner's home in Phoenix.
