The Grand Prix enjoyed a 40-year-run at Pontiac, most notably as their entry into the personal luxury segment of the market. Over the years, the car would change in terms of size and even positioning within the GM division’s line-up. 1967 models, like the seller’s car, would perhaps be noted for being the first production Pontiacs to wear hidden or pop-up headlights. This edition looks rather baked from the desert sun and is available because the seller no longer has room for it. Located in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Grand Prix is available here on Facebook Marketplace for $5,400.
First introduced on a Catalina body with Bonneville-like trim, the Grand Prix would enjoy a run as a 2-door coupe from 1962-02 (and as a sedan from 1989-08). Over the years, the car would vary in size, luxury and performance. The first generation of the GP would be produced through 1968, where for the last two years the car’s sheet metal had a more pronounced “Coke bottle” shape. Hidden headlights wouldn’t be the only thing different for the Grand Prix in 1967. It would also be available as a convertible for the first and only time, and the coupes would receive concealed windshield wipers, ventless front windows on the coupes and louvered taillights similar to those on the GTO.
We’re not privy to much information about the seller’s ‘67 Grand Prix. We do know that it would have been one of 37,125 coupes made that year (plus another 5,856 convertibles). The car would be available with two engine displacements, the 400 and 428 cubic inch V8s (replacing the 389 and 421, respectively). We don’t know which engine is in the seller’s car and his photos do not show under the hood or the inside the interior or trunk. Output would vary from 350 to 375 hp depending on the set-up.
This Pontiac is said to be a two-owner car with no “serious body damage or problems”. We don’t know if it’s in running condition as a very minimal listing is offered by the seller. The two-tone paint is rather toasty – especially in the low extremities – and the car rolls on aftermarket wheels. If it runs or doesn’t require a rebuild and the interior isn’t a lost cause, Hagerty estimates one of these cars to be worth $6,500 in Fair condition. If you brought it back to perfection, its value would increase to more than $33,000. And maybe more if it has factory air (10%) and an 8-track tape player that was an option for the first time that year!
Good looking car and definitely worth saving. Fair asking price as well. If the floors and trunk are still solid the restoration will be pretty straightforward. I bet it had factory A/C since it’s in Nevada. Seeing cars like this make me realize I have a serious addiction. Not having abundant financial resources is my only saving grace.
Alphasud, the cars in Vegas have come from all over the country. The car being in Vegas doesn’t mean it has A/C. I lived there for 10 years. I once saw a Cadillac from Alaska that had no A/C but a double heater.
I totally feel your pain. For me, Being poor has been Gods Grace 🤣
As much as I want to love this car, because some of the styling really does it for me, I just can’t get past those hideous fender skirts. I still hope someone restores it.
The details are mighty thin considering the asking price. Apparently the engine and interior aren’t worth mentioning which isn’t a selling point. Even so this car might be a good deal for someone specifically looking for a 1967 GP as limited as that market might be.
67 is a great year for this great car. Pontiac was killed by GM more than 10 years ago. So now I refuse to buy any junk they make even the new butt ugly Corvette. Very sad. I grew up in Pontiacs. My dad had a new one every two years from about 1961 through 1970. Quality comfort styling and the best interiors of any car. Ever.
I blame Obama for killing Pontiac & Mercury!
And the dealerships that sold and serviced them. Some folded, but Century 3 Dodge became Century 3 Kia.
Actually it was “old” GM management that killed Pontiac. The pin heads at GM so diluted Pontiac that at the end of the run there was not a dimes worth of difference between Chevy and Pontiac. GM made an awful lot of dumb decisions regarding Pontiac, Saab and Saturn. In the end they had too many divisions .When it ended Pontiac thanks to GM management had as much driving excitement as a wet paper bag. As a 2Xs Saturn owner do not get me started on the bone headed mistakes GM made with them. They also managed to turn Saab into a fancy Chevy. As for Mercury Ford decided to promote Lincoln and kill off Mercury because they did not wish to invest in Mercury. Obama followed through with loans because both Chrysler & GM were on the verge of going down and no one wanted to buy them especially Chrysler. OK perhaps someone would have wanted to purchase Jeep .The question was who would want to buy Chrysler anyway ? The concern was if both went down an awful lot of jobs in the industries that supply components such as electronics & such would be lost plus thousands of auto assembly line workers would be unemployed. Whether you care for Obama as president or not he made a calculated decision to save jobs. GM & Chrysler were incidental compared to the possible loss of thousands of jobs. Additionally a key component of the US industrial base would be under minded which would not be good for both the economy & national defense.
Nice to read someone else who thinks the new Vette is kinda ugly. I have an C3. I would go up to a C7 with joy but the C8 looks like a supercar wannabe and I think the design is a huge step backwards.
As for Pontiacs my first car was a 66 Grande Parisienne, the Canadian model never sold in the US. Those slotted tail lights hooked me the moment I saw them. Would love to have another.
Beautiful car.Would love to own it.I was coming into the world when this was coming into the showrooms.
400 probably – 428 figures instead of the GP shield on the sill moulds
1967 Grand Prix 428s had a callout on the fenders right behind the bumper. 1968s had the callout on the rocker panel.
And fender skirts standard
I believe this is the 1st car to have hidden wipers AND ventless side windows. Oddly, no other car had BOTH in ’67! Not even Eldorado or full size Caddies!
The fender skirts(or should i say, covering 1/2 of a wheel/tire) were viewed as futuristic features, like on the 3 1964 NY World’s Fair futurama cars.
So were, IMO, hidden wipers, hidden headlights, & ventless glass.
No interior or engine picks kind of looks like it had a fire in it I don’t think that’s a window tint
Danny the Count of the Las Vegas based reality show “Counting Cars” should buy it and customize it.
I had one and I am upset I got rid of it. Not many Pontiacs had covered headlights.
In my opinion this was one the worst rebadge efforts in Gm history. It’s a Bonneville with out the grief stricken tear drop rear end. Call it a Gp or a Bonny this design was so awkward and bulky it couldn’t get out of it’s own way.
Big miss
“available because the seller no longer has room for it.”
