For Sale: 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix finished in Lucerne Blue with a white vinyl top. By 1972, the era of full-sized luxury muscle was starting to die, just like the rest of the high-horsepower machines, but that didn't stop Pontiac from building cars like this ultra-cool 1972 Grand Prix Model J. There's still a rumbling 400CID V8 (9790071) casting number out of a 1968/1969 Pontiac under the hood, a pair of bucket seats inside, and enough performance to make it a legitimate piece of the Pontiac legend. The intake and 4-barrel are stock spec, although the stock-style headers now feed a throaty stainless steel dual exhaust system. Time has been kind to the Grand Prix, whose design stands out as one of the better ones of the period. Of course, long hoods and short decks have been in fashion since the dawn of the industry, but this Grand Prix gets it exactly right. Pontiac's commitment to luxury and performance is quite evident inside, where you get a couple of wonderfully comfortable, yet sporty white buckets up front, split by a Model J-spec center console. The car includes factory air conditioning, a tilt column, power brakes and steering, and a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission that's a reliable travelling partner. These cars have a dedicated following and with values only going up, now is the time to put a clean, attractive Grand Prix Model J in your stable.
