For Sale: 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J in Concord, North Carolina

This 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J is a survivor that's been in the loving care of the same family all its life. So not only does a coupe like this have an amazing story to tell, but also it still perfectly represents how Pontiac brought V8 performance and luxury to the market in equal measures.


This car really lives up to the "Grand" part of its name. After all, the factory-correct Granada Gold does a fantastic job of highlighting this long personal luxury coupe's sharp-edge curves. There was on professional respray at about mid-life, which combined with constant care and love, really makes this look like precious metal in the sunlight. This car comes from an era of true style. That's why you get great pieces like the artful chrome grille that integrates into the front bumpers, padded vinyl roof, and a rear bumper that looks like an extension of the sheetmetal. Pontiac even had a little fun with the nomenclature by borrowing their upper trim level names from Duesenberg, like on this Model J. But even with all this luxury, GM's performance division wanted to give you a hint at the big V8 power within, so you have the iconic Rally II wheels.


More of this sporty feeling comes the moment you open the door. The original saddle brown interior has been so well maintained that you can still see the detail in the Strato-style bucket seats. Plus, the center console and curved dash envelope the driver. The rich deep brown is throughout the interior, including on the door panels, dash, and factory three-spoke steering wheel. And it coordinates nicely with some of the best factory wood appearance trim we have ever seen come out of the '70s. So while you have comfortable seating for up to five in this luxury cruiser, you'll also be just as happy to be on your own. After all, you can imagine showing off the pillarless hardtop profile in a snap with the power windows, and then going out for an all-day cruise. There are even provisions for air conditioning.


Pontiac's legendary 400 cubic-inch V8 is hard to beat. Torquey, smooth, and versatile, it easily allows this Grand Prix to live up to its effortless cruiser image. On a coupe this authentic so far, you'll be happy to know it retains the original numbers-matching motor. Believe it or not, the reason the original engine bay still presents so nicely today is that the owner would give it an annual steam clean! On the road, you have all the right features for an easy driving classic, including a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.


This GP comes with large paperwork file that includes the owner's manual, dealer shipping record, registration documents, and maintenance records. There's even the original bill of sale that shows you this one began its life in North Carolina too. This amazingly preserved affordable cruiser is looking for someone to continue on its loved history. Are you the one? Call now!!
