It’s going to take some time, effort, and devotion to get this 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix ready to be back on the road again, along with a sizeable bank account. However, this one really needs to be saved, as ’67 was the only year the GP included a convertible model in the lineup. Whoever ends up restoring this will have some bragging rights in the Pontiac community, plus a fun driver to put the top down on during favorable seasons. An additional parts car is also included, so if you’re ready to get started, this 1967 Grand Prix can be spotted here on eBay. The vehicles are located in Mount Airy, North Carolina, with only one bid of $5,295 having been placed so far for the pair.
The seller doesn’t share any photos of the convertible car without the tarp covering the top, but tells us that it’s spent most of the time under his ownership inside a shed, and was only recently removed from this more favorable storage area. Red is confirmed to be the factory color, but some bodywork will be needed before this one’s ready for a respray. An object was left on top of the left quarter and filler panel, which resulted in rust on those areas, and the floors and trunk pan are also mentioned as victims of the tin worm. It’s probably safe to assume that the canvas top will also need replacing, but hopefully, the frame rails may still be decent enough to reuse.
Regarding the parts car, it’s also a 1967 model, and although that Grand Prix is sitting very close to the ground, the seller says the floors are very solid. He also mentions that the trunk pan is good, as are numerous other outside panels, so perhaps this donor can provide a few of the parts needed for the convertible. Unfortunately, there’s no engine present in this car.
A point worth noting is how loaded with options the seller states his main Grand Prix is equipped with, featuring more than he’s ever seen and enough to make him wonder if this was some sort of promotional car. Some of these are power windows, including the vent glass, a power driver’s bucket seat, a power antenna and trunk release, an 8-Track tape player, plus several others. Much of the interior will require attention, but at least you’ll eventually have plenty of fun gadgets to play with, once this one’s up and going again.
1979 was the last year this auto was registered, so there’s a good chance the engine was inoperative even back then. More than 45 years later, things under the hood aren’t looking very promising, and it’s unknown if the motor will still turn after such a long hibernation. Still, with only 5,856 produced, the 1967 Grand Prix convertible is a rare car, and I hope someone will step up to the plate here. Is this one you’d consider taking on as a project?
$5295 is the bid close the auction take the money and run before the bidder sobers up
Considering how few were made there always seems to be any number for sale. Rare car with a lot of features but I don’t know, it ain’t no Duesenberg.
Rust Bucket – Hard Pass !!
They bid on there own car 529.50 is more like it
My thought exactly!
It would be amazing to not have the trunk floor rotted out. This is one of the first places to rust out on these cars. AND being a convertible would make it twice as likely to rust out the trunk floor. So, if the trunk floor has no rot. Then I would not hesitate to restore this car. As I believe it is worth saving. These were great cars and if close by, I might take a run at it.
you don’t get that green mold growing on the car from sitting inside then all of a sudden put outside. takes years i know i have 2 cars covered in it and they been sitting for 5yrs.i would guess 40yrs outside not moving.
Yes, it takes plenty of moisture for long time for cornering lamps to look that bad.
Just about every luxury option Pontiac offered (particularly the rarely ordered cornering lamps and power vent wings), yet powered by the base 400. Forgive my misogyny, but this looks like a car the owner of a Pontiac dealership ordered for his wife.
Exactly!
Not the wrong perspective. Cars like this are sometimes Mrs Dealer Principle’s car. Other times they are a customer who is locked on to something they came up with or there’s a mental block about not exceeding a specific price. Finally you have the employee who is only gonna to get this because he “knows” something about the alternative (engine, transmission, option, etc) and isn’t going to have it any other way. Believe me, I’ve ordered them for people.
The under hood photo…🤮🤢
Uh, which one is the parts car again?
Yes, the 428 would be the engine to have, but this has some nice parts. $6k to buy and about $50k to restore and you’d have a nice $35k car…
When sell my old heaps, I like to take the tarps off them and stand back a few feet and take some real pictures that show the prospective buyer what the heap actually looks like. Just sayin’…
Hard pass. Not worth saving.
Two parts cars here!!
After looking at the under hood picture, I am thinking of asking them to pay me $52.95 an hour for the therapy sessions I will need for looking at something I can never UNSEE!
The one bid at 5295.00 better take it ,It is your lucky day
Like Troy said… take the money before the bidder sobers up.
his brother put the bid in, good for part that are rare 529. i would pay
I certainly don’t have the time or money, but the front end of these cars was a pinnacle of Pontiac design in my book. The rear end is no slouch, either. I love that it has so many power features, as well. This is the car I would have ordered back in the day.
