Introduced in 1962, the Pontiac Grand Prix quickly established
itself as a performance-oriented luxury coupe, blending full-size
comfort with unmistakable Pontiac muscle. By 1967, the Grand Prix
had evolved into one of the most refined personal luxury cars of
the era, and for that model year Pontiac offered a convertible body
style for one year only, making the 1967 Grand Prix convertible a
true standalone chapter in the model's history and among the most
sought-after examples today.
This extraordinary Grand Prix was built and delivered new in July
1967 as a very late-production, special equipment factory order, a
distinction that immediately sets it apart. Finished in Code C-1
Cameo White with a White power convertible top, it is accented by a
striking red body-side sport stripe and complemented by Trim Code
585 Parchment White Strato-Bucket seat interior, creating a
timeless and elegant presentation. According to the Zone and Dealer
codes listed on the original broadcast build sheet, this example
was sold as a Pontiac Motor Division Factory Company Car,
suggesting it was likely delivered to a high-ranking individual or
utilized for promotional purposes during the summer of 1967-an
origin consistent with its exceptional specification.
As expected of a factory company car, this Grand Prix was equipped
with virtually every available option and the most desirable
powertrain offered. Under the hood resides its numbers-matching
428ci High-Output V8, one of Pontiac's most formidable engines,
paired with a Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission. Additional
performance and drivability features include power steering, Ride
and Handling Package, and first-year power front disc brakes, along
with heavy-duty 15-inch wheels fitted with full wheel covers and
red stripe tires.
Luxury and convenience options are equally comprehensive,
highlighted by Custom Air Conditioning, Custom Gauge Cluster with
electric clock, power windows with power vent glass, power door
locks, remote trunk release, power driver's seat, tilt steering
column with Sports Steering Wheel, cruise control, and remote
outside mirror. Entertainment and comfort are enhanced by an AM/FM
Stereo radio with power antenna, all tinted glass, passenger vanity
mirror, custom seat belts, and interior floor mats, reflecting the
Grand Prix's position at the top of Pontiac's lineup.
Production numbers further underscore the significance of this car.
Only 5,856 Grand Prix convertibles were manufactured for 1967,
making the model inherently rare. More remarkably, just 1,045
Pontiac vehicles across the entire 1967 production year were
equipped with the 428ci High-Output engine, placing this example in
an exceptionally exclusive category. When combined with its
convertible configuration, late-production status, factory company
car history, and near-maximum option load, this Grand Prix is very
likely a one-of-one automobile.
The car is accompanied by an impressive and well-preserved
documentation portfolio, including traceable history dating back to
1973, complete Pontiac Historical Services (PHS) documentation with
broadcast sheet, a 1967 Pontiac dealership brochure, owner's
manual, convertible top operation manual, reproduction window
sticker, and post-restoration photographs. It was prominently
featured as the cover story of the May 1997 Smoke Signals POCI
magazine and later recognized in 2012 with POCI Class EE -
Outstanding honors, further validating its authenticity, quality,
and historical importance.
This 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix convertible represents a rare
convergence of exclusivity, factory documentation, elite
performance, and luxury-an irreplaceable example of Pontiac's
golden era and a centerpiece-level addition to any serious Pontiac
or GM collection.
