In 1977 , i was 18 years old, I bought a 1970 model SJ from a guy, it had 67,000 mikes on it, the car was solid, very powerful, rode like a Cadillac, it had the automatic air leveling rear suspension, an awesome car. I was 18 years old, trying to impress everybody with the performance of the 455 motor bolted to the factory 4 speed. That's all ill say for now. I really liked that car.

Hi Bryan Haugen, I'm glad this video / car brought back those good memories :-) Thank you for sharing, Lou

@kurtzimmerman1637 4 года назад

that had to be fast. I transplanted a 428 bonneville engine into my 71 GP. it would get 3rd gear scratch sometimes with a stock 400 turbo. 🔧

Cool :) My Granddad had a 1969 Dark Green with a light green top Grand Prix SJ Great memories :) I drove it a couple of times, great power and comfort :) I miss it .

@davidwayne9982 Год назад

I've had 2 GP-- both SJ and one a 400 and the other a 455 with the custom padded racing steering wheel from the factory-- black on black-- loved BOTH of them. I'd give anything to have MINE back now..

Our neighbor bought one of these new, in the color of copper, and I remember thinking that it was the coolest car I had ever seen! The buckets and console looked out of this world-thanks for this video!

@loucostabile 7 лет назад

Hi, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and appreciate your sharing about your experience with the Copper Grand Prix. I think it's really great when a car can make such and impression on you isn't it? Lou

Boy o boy, Pontiac at the top of their game for sure! What a cool car in every way, looks great, and drives great as well...Would love to have a Gran Prix, oh well I can dream can't I....

My folks purchased a '68 Le Mans that was a special order. Not over optioned, but had enough. When the new models for '69 were out, we went and looked. The Tempest line was pretty much the same as '68, but then I saw the new Grand Prix and was in love. Distinctive, edgy, long and great lines, I would have traded the Le Mans off for it. But since I had no say, I just admired, and still do. Very nice looking Pontiac car.

@loucostabile 7 лет назад

Agreed, very nice looking. Thank you for sharing, Lou

@joe6096 5 лет назад

Another note - John Z DeLorean should be remembered in much higher regard than he is. Whatever might have happened with him creating his own car company, there should be a statue of him outside the main entrance to the RenCen along with Harley Earl. Two of the greatest minds in GM's history.

Love to see one of these again! I forgot about the quad headlight version of this model. What a beauty he has here. PERFECT! I don't know why Lou when you where in it you didn't start her up and drop it in drive and do a burn out LOL watch the neighborhood come to life LOL. Just kidding. Very very nice hobby you have my friend.

@loucostabile 8 лет назад

Hi Gene, I'd like too do that burn out :-) Lou

@frankmoore159 Год назад

Beautiful engine out there I don’t know whether that was a 455 or 400 Well actually the 455 only came with the SJ and then 69 it came with that 428

@troynov1965 11 месяцев назад

Actually the SJ and J models were inspired by the Duesenbergs. The door handles were copies of the SL Mercedes door handles.

I prefer the ‘69 and ‘70 as well. The quad headlights are way nicer than the dual ones. The ‘69 or ‘70 is my dream hardtop.

Thanks, I had a 69' SJ with a 428 in it, damn thing would go like jack the bear !!! Dark green with a white vinyl top ( which I despised ), green interior, auto. They're almost 'impossible' to find, here in southern Ontario, they'd just purely rot to hell ! I'll take a Pontiac over a Chev any day !

@loucostabile 7 лет назад

@phs9452 6 лет назад

my first car was a 69 sj lt blue white vinyl top white interior....step on the gas and watch the gas gauge head towards empty...,gas was 30 cents a gallon then.....did get to drive at 135 mph though...i miss that car.

When I was in Lebanon in 1969 I saw a few Grand Prix on sale in a Beruit Genl Motors dealership & was amazed. Didn't see any American cars for sale anywhere else in Asia, Africa or Europe that year with the exception of Jeep.
