this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is tremendously proud to offer this stunning
1969 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ in spectacular condition with the 455ci
big block engine. This Grand Prix SJ is in amazing shape; it runs
great, drives awesome, and looks spectacular. The car has great
lines and is totally solid; one can even see how clean detailed the
car is underneath in the many photos of the car on a lift, the
previous owner even to the time to pinstripe the bottom of the car.
This is an excellent opportunity to own an exceptional Grand Prix
SJ that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value.
We've driven this car about 50 miles recently. During that time
that car was totally reliable, had absolutely no issues, and was a
true pleasure to drive.
Throughout the entire G-Body market right now, this is one of the
nicer Grand Prix's available, especially with the big block engine.
The 1969 model year is desirable and sought after out of the third
generation Grand Prix's. This car would be hard to duplicate for
anything near our asking price. This Grand Prix SJ looks great,
runs awesome, and is particularly fun to drive. This is an
excellent opportunity to own a classic Pontiac that is ready to be
used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value. One could easily buy this
car now and sell it for more than the purchase price in years to
come as these G-Body's are appreciating fast and the market on them
is very hot right now, especially for such a nice example like this
car. While this Grand Prix does not have the original engine, the
previous owner said that the newly rebuilt 455ci engine came out of
an early 70's GTO. The code "YC" is stamped on the engine block,
this code would be correct for a 1970 or 1971 GTO with the 455ci.
The original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the
car, but also the clear Ohio title, pictured in this ad, that shows
the mileage as "Actual."
As a side note, this Grand Prix SJ is not a dealer auction vehicle.
We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come
from owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Pontiac, just give us a call.
Exterior
The Copper-Bronze exterior is in excellent driver condition. As one
can see in the photos, the paint has a great gloss, deep shine, and
smooth finish. Both doors open and shut well and feel great when
you close them. The chrome and other bright-work on the car looks
great overall with no pitting. The wheels are in great condition
with a brilliant finish and no curb rash. The thin white wall tires
have plenty of tread left and are sized 235/75R15. There are no
major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the
photos. There is some very light checking and other small
imperfections that were too faint to show in in the photos, but
nothing that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away.
As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car it is
exceptionally clean underneath. The previous owner even took the
time to detail the bottom of the car. He installed a chrome
driveshaft and chrome sway bar the go great with all the chrome
under the hood and even pinstriped the bottom of the floor pans and
other areas underneath the car. We have included specific photos of
the lower quarters, rockers, spring perches, and other areas most
prone to rust to show how clean this car is.
Interior
The saddle interior of the Grand Prix SJ is in wonderful condition.
The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the gauge lenses are
crystal clear. The carpet is in great condition with no stains,
rips, or holes. This includes the rear carpet, which is often
neglected. The seats look just as nice in person as they do in the
photos with no split seams, tears, or excessive wear. There is just
a small spot of wear on the bead in the typical area on the bolster
where the driver gets in and out. The door panels are in great
condition with no cracks or splits and the door pulls are solid and
intact, the door panel is not worn in the typical area where the
driver's elbow sits. The dash looks good with no splits, sun
fading, or cracks. The package tray looks great with no warping,
fading, or sun damage. Please note that both front seat belts work
and retract properly. This is a common problem and an issue many
buyers do not think to check. This Pontiac has not been smoked in,
there are no burn marks and no aroma of cigarettes.
The trunk is very clean and nicely detailed; the car comes with the
jack, jack base, and lug wrench.
Pontiac interiors from this era are not known to wear well over the
years and the spectacular condition of this interior is a huge
testament to the meticulous care this car has received throughout
its life and another great verification of the low original
mileage.
Mechanical
This Grand Prix SJ is in excellent mechanical condition and it is
ready to be enjoyed. As stated above, we have put about 50 miles on
this car recently with absolutely no problems and it performed
great. The 455ci big block engine starts right away every time,
runs well, and idles smoothly. The previous owner told us that it
was recently rebuilt. This Grand Prix is an exceptional driver that
feels great on the road and at highway speeds. In the video below
one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about
70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and
going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange
noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The
brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The
transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power band. The car
runs cool and does not overheat. This Grand Prix SJ has plenty of
power. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean and
detailed to an exceptional degree as one can see in the photos with
chrome inner fenders, air cleaner, valve covers, brake booster,
master cylinder cap, a/c components, and much much more. The car is
ready to be driven and enjoyed. The wipers work as do all the
exterior lights, interior lights, indicators, dash lights, and
radio. All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the
car. The horn will click, but does not blow. The blower for the
header and a/c does not work. The car does drip some oil. The car
has a very healthy exhaust note as one can hear in the video. Not
enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this
car.
This Grand Prix SJ runs and drives as well as it looks.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1969 Grand Prix SJ is in amazing driver condition.
This car is particularly rare and extra desirable with the 455ci
engine and beautiful color combination. Fine examples of the
third-generation Grand Prix's are hard to find and draw a huge
premium in the current market. Cars like this are the Barrett
Jackson stars of the future.
The excellent condition, the nice custom touches by the previous
owner, and the desirable options make this Grand Prix especially
important and difficult to duplicate. This Grand Prix always gets a
ton of attention driving down the road. It is very apparent that
the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous
owners....for more information please contact the seller.
