Oh definitely.

Another awesome revive and drive! That ol girl deserves some love. New starter, tighten up the front end, carb, clean tank etc. I think it can be made into a pretty reliable cruising machine. I don't care what anyone says, the big underpowered 70's American land yachts time is coming, maybe not in value but popularity.

I owned a 1976 GP. I bought it in 1979 with only 22k miles and sold it in 1985 with 130k trouble free miles. I felt like a king driving that car on the interstate. I wish I never sold it. This is the last of the true Grand Prixs.

I’m loving the land-yacht stuff. My granddad had one of those LTD’s, except his was a landau and not a roadster. This Grand Prix is a great looker from about a half block away. Stands out from all the soft curve cars with their computer generated names.

@MakinEndsMeet69 Год назад

Reminds me of a whole lot of my 1976 Olds 442 Anniversary Edition, bought it off my sister and brother-in-law and South Florida and drove it to Texas. It was a pretty good car lasted quite a while and then I sold it to another brother-in-law that had moved to Texas from Florida. The 400 in that car sounds pretty good! It's amazing how many of these old cars are still around.😊

@jeffrobodine8579 Год назад

Did your 1976 Olds have the 350 or 455? I almost bought an Apollo Green, fully loaded 1976 442 with a 455 but it had too much rust so I passed.

@KiwiStag74 Год назад

I tell you what - there's nothing like completing a journey in a car that likes throwing you a curve ball every few miles. The sense of satisfaction in getting the beast to where you want to go under its own steam (literally in this case too!) is one that is hard to replicate.....and it gives you some great stories to tell and relive as well. Good on you both for persevering and letting the Ponty prove herself once she cleared her throat, stretched and could get down to business after the expected repairs of her doing that. All the best

@BiggusDickusMontePython Год назад

I love how people say your a "copycat" when you are more legit than most of these channels that do this genre of video. Junkyard Digs is an exception because he is a natural teacher.

The ‘63 was part of the Pontiac wide track series. The 1980 was two tone burgundy and silver with burgundy leatherette interior. They were both excellent automobiles. Enjoy your ‘76.

The grand prix came about In the early sixties to compete with the thunderbird. But I do remember when I was a kid that body style was extremely popular. It was a good-looking car. I think you guys should restore it or at least try to fix some of the severe body work. That is a special car.

@paulne1514 Год назад

Always had those big cars. Last one was 1979 Lincoln town car. As long as you’re not blind, you don’t need “road feel”. Just don’t over drive the car. (Don’t go around curves like an Indy car). And those cars could take a beating. I got hit in a 1965 ford wagon while sitting at a red light, behind a tractor trailer. The guy who hit me was doing 60mph in the rain and never hit his brakes. He put a big dent in the back of my car, yet I drove it home. (He had a 1972 Buick Rivera.) he didn’t. Nowadays, a low speed impact will total a vehicle!

Entertaining video: I acquired one very similar in mid-eighties with the low compression 350 2bbl Pontiac V8, Turbo 400 trans. and like 2.73 rear axle ratio. It didn't have much power, but it did sail down the interstate. I drove it to FL from NY and back, and never got more than 12 mpg, was the next to last year of the nice mid-sized GM body on frame. Wish I still had it as the old car guys are grabbing them up for the nostalgic factor, very cool rugged old ride.
