Vehicle Description
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 a rumbling 400CID V8 (9790071) casting
number 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.
