Tri-Power, 8-lug, working a/c, and more! On 9-19-61 Pontiac
issued a press release stating, "Pontiac Announces Spectacular New
Grand Prix Model". This 1962 classic is what they were referring
to, with Bunkie Knudsen proclaiming "the new car presents an image
of distinguished simplicity" and "Pontiac has added an
extraordinary power team for exceptional road performance."
This example was built on 11-17-61 and sold on 11-24-61. It is
believed to be a 3-owner car, staying within the same family for
nearly 40 years and accumulating 76,000 miles to date (documents
included). The car was repainted its original Cameo Ivory and has a
very nice finish. All chrome and moldings are in nice shape too.
Not to be missed are the 8-lug wheels, including the spare with
hold-down plate.
The 389 cubic inch motor runs great and has nice power. Originally
a 303hp single 4-barrel setup, it was recently converted to a
Tri-Power arrangement with three 2-barrel carbs (the original
intake and carb are included). This is always a favorite when you
pop the hood (or the accelerator). The automatic transmission is
the original 3-speed Roto Hydramatic unit. The power steering and
power brakes are very effective, while the suspension is smooth and
free of squeaks.
The Grand Prix interior continues to separate this car from its
Catalina and Bonneville brethren. This one is in excellent
condition throughout. The bucket seats flank the center console
with tachometer and storage bin, while the rear seat has a folding
center armrest and speaker. Note the special Grand Prix steering
wheel too. The gauges, lighting, wipers, and horn all work
properly. So does the Wonderbar radio and factory air conditioning,
converted to R134a.
This is a great roadworthy car that was driven 150 miles to my
dealership. It is a great combination of everything we like about
cars. To cite one more quote from that press release, "The result
is an unbeatable combination of spectacular sports car styling and
performance with unexcelled family car ride, handling and comfort."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
