Vehicle Description
STK 3954 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix
The Grand Prix model first appeared in Pontiac's line-up in 1962.
It was essentially a standard Catalina coupe with minimal chrome
trim and a sportier interior (bucket seats and console). The
performance-minded John DeLorean contributed to the development of
both the Grand Prix and later the GTO. This 1966 Grand Prix is a
perfect example of the 'full-size GTO'. It received a careful
restoration back to virtually original condition (2019). The very
straight exterior was professionally re-sprayed in a 2-stage Silver
Metallic finish and accents include classic factory wheel covers,
BFG Silvertown whitewall radials, rear fender skirts and beautiful
chrome. The handsome interior features new two-tone embossed vinyl
upholstery, matching door cards, full console w/shifter, wood
accents and new carpeting. It is also equipped with factory air
(needs TLC), power tinted windows, a full set of analog gauges and
the original AM sound system.
Horsepower is furnished by a rebuilt 389ci Pontiac V8, an engine
that was introduced in 1960 and became a mainstay of the Pontiac
lineup for a decade. The engine was factory equipped with a Carter
4V and was rated at 325hp. (This carburetor was upgraded to an
Edelbrock Performer four-barrel when the engine was rebuilt.) The
motor is backed by a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission and
stock differential. The solid chassis of this Grand Prix is
equipped with coil-spring suspension, power steering, 4-wheel power
disc/drum brakes w/dual-master and free-flowing exhaust. There are
very few of these Grand Prix models around and this nicely restored
coupe is very special and belongs in your Poncho garage. ALL
