Black on black on black! After we found this old Pontiac with the top of the engine taken apart, we knew she needed a rescue. This car was to cool to let rot away...........

I love your vid on the GP. I had a 69 GP and loved it. Bought it in 1981 for $600 with a bad timing chain. After a new chain and a few pushrods it ran like a fine Swiss Watch. I love the Qjet carbs as they are so simple and reliable as hell. The secondary metering rods are easy to get at along with everything else on the Qjet. Seeing you work on that made me remember what I used to do back in the day. I just loved my Buicks, Pontiacs and Cadillacs in those days. I am now 72 and don't feel like working on cars much so I now drive Hondas and Toyotas. That bring said, there is nothing like a strong American car with a powerful V8 and a great transmission like the GM400. Those were the days and I miss it

@@PoorBoysGarageUSMC Hey my friend, i think i was too late to pick your contact of you out of the comment, can you contact me, please? (or even answer with a contact adress or..? :) My problem was, that i was with my phone at YT and at next time i didn´t found your contact posted to the comments anymore. That´s very sad, because i´m sure that you like to sell something what you´ll find, especially about these cars "That nobody really cares about", for example an ordinary 4 Door Ful Size car or such examples... But i do love these kind of cars, too! :) It was great to hear from you, and i hope you can save a lot of abandoned stuff out there, you do a amazing work in my eyes, wish i could help you about that..& hey, possible that i can help with buy a car or so. I really wish i had that luck to live at your place and country. Because where i´m located at Bavaria, germany, there is the problem about a real recycle mafia that was going on decades ago what cleaned up vintage stuff, especially cars and places where you could find such stuff, & then there is allways the problem that people, especially farmers solt their land many years ago, where so much more vintage stuff was going to crush & all that what guys like we don´t would do or like to do with such amazing stuff. :( And so i feel living in a completely false country for me. Especially when you love the larger sized US cars anywhere. ;) But it is like i sayed, if i could also save cars like you could to, i feel like in haven! :) With my restoration work at the 67 Chevy Impala/Caprice what i´m doing with my 70 years old dad i hope to contionue this summer. Still in work with rebuilding the sheet metal by us. But had to stop for a while because the location change of my parents was also neccessary. And there i´ve also questions, or askings for you about parts, or so for such cars, too. It was great & even better to stay in contact via Mail!? :) Cheers & have a great nice day, Till

@PoorBoysGarageUSMC 2 года назад

@sporty196071 2 года назад

The factory hi-perf 400 Pontiac came with crome valve covers and crome air filter top. You should also do the timing chain and gears, they came with a nylon timing gear that always went bad. The nylon will shave off and plug the oil pump screen then you have to pull the motor to change the pump & screen. Most common problem on 60s & 70s Pontiac V8s

@jerrygood9208 2 года назад

So you're telling me that's a high performance 400 if so I'm really learning something about this damn car sweetrod

@jerrylayton6685 2 года назад

I love those 60s and 70s Grand Prixs. I had a 63 Grand Prix that I drove everywhere. You said that you didn't of it as a hot rod, I didn't either until I started hitting the street races. There wasn't a street racer out there that I didn't beat. The biggest problem I had was breaking traction off the line. It was a beautiful ride and I loved it. It drove and handled like a dream on the road. If you don't want it I'll buy it from you.

@31847448 2 года назад

Very true! Change timing gears and replace the worn chain now. Do it before it’s going to be an engine pull necessity

@neiljumpinjackflash7551 2 года назад

Beautiful score! Pontiacs really handle well, stock but if you add bigger sway bars and firm up the suspension, they out handle most other makes ten to 1. You could also put in a quicker ratio steering box. I did these mods myself to my pontiacs back in the day. You could make real street sweepers with only minor mods...anyway brings back the memories! Have fun!

@joemaderak6449 2 года назад

I have been working on Pontiacs for 30 years. One thing to check is the Timing chain. The factory used plastic coated gears that wore out and become sloppy. Use a double roller timing chain it is worth the money. If you really want to get serious with the car a cam change with help out a lot.

I want this car!!!. I bought one new in 1972 in metallic olive green. Unfortunately, I traded it in less than a year for a 1973 Pontiac SD-455 Firebird. My wife at the time proceeded to total that car a mere six months later. So I trade a great cruiser for a hot rod. Bad choice. Ah the mistakes of youth. Personally, I still believe that she wouldn't have wrecked the Gran Prix because should would not have been driving it right to the edge like she drove the Trans Am. Beautiful ride you have there. Yes, I want it!!

Sweet car, brother, Pontiacs are my favorite. I turned 18 in '71, so I remember those days well. By '72 they'd cut the compression way back, actually reworked the combustion chambers to get it low enough. Emission controls ruined those old engines. It got worse after '72, less power and the insane 5 mph bumpers! Glad you saved one of the last of the "good old days" cruisers.

I would have loved to take this to HS back in my days. He has a sweet little Dodge RT truck, but if he wanted to take the Pontiac I would let him for sure…

Sounds like the 58 Plymouth from the christine movie after it caught fire and was driving into the old garage

@davidwiley652 2 года назад

I absolutely love that car. What a awesome find. I remember my cousin have the exact same year model in 1972. I owned a Grand Prix but, mine was a 2000 model. Man I wish I had that car. Good luck with it.❤️💪🏽

@scotthay1486 2 года назад

@jughead623 2 года назад

Well I'm not saying much tore down that far I'll put a timing chain in that car while you're at lest look at the one it's in there

You could turn the crank back and forth while watching the rotor

I'm only a few minutes in, but it appears this GP has Swivel Buckets in it. I had a 76 ElCamino SS with the swivel buckets. Loved that truck! And this year of GP is my absolute favorite. On to watch more! Zip~

@razorridgeback4516 2 года назад

Swivel buckets didn't come out until 1974. This car does not have swivel buckets and never did.

@rocman9043 2 года назад

Decent car, it's a keeper, nice job!

@tracychaffin4410 2 года назад

Looks like ya saved a Nice one. Pontiac always seem to have slight differences of the GM. Kinda like the Buick’s. Awesome car👍👍👍

@PoorBoysGarageUSMC 2 года назад

Agree! Thank you Tracy

@nativestacker4185 2 года назад

One thing most people don't know about in that GP is that it has a special shifter for drag racing. ( put it in first gear , then pull the shifter to the left and shift into second , DO NOT LET GO OF THE SHIFTER UNTIL YOU ARE READY FOR IT TO GO INTO SECOND GEAR , around 4500-5500 RPM let go of the shifter and BAM!

@Big88Country 2 года назад

I have a 72 GP here in Sneads Ferry, my Pops old car. Only 81K miles, it's all original. Even has the PMD rims and beauty rings. Got to get it back on the road soon! You still have this beauty? NICE driving car! Great job on that intake and headers! Brother, If I would have known this car was on the Air Station and for sale, I would have snatched it up, I work on New River. Got her looking good! Let 'em rip not rot, I like that!! New Subscriber, great channel Brother!

@PoorBoysGarageUSMC 2 года назад

This ended up going to Texas after it was all said and done…Your 72 sounds awesome!

@thinkinoutsidethebox9078 2 года назад

I like the seating position in those cars. It feels nice n low n just comfortable.

@davidsmith687 2 года назад

Hellyeah Brad, that is one Bad Bitch! Them ol Pontiac engines sound great through a set of headers. To bad that quadra jet didn’t want to work for ya, love the sound they make when you kick them secondaries in. Awesome save though, she’s a beautiful ride. Right on Bro… Let ‘em rip not rot!

@PoorBoysGarageUSMC 2 года назад

Hell yeah David! Thanks for supporting us over here…. Mush appreciated
