The Grand Prix is best known as Pontiac’s entry into the personal luxury car market. First and second-generation of the Grand Prix used the same platform as other full-size Pontiacs, shifting to a mid-size body in 1969. Styling was updated in 1967 and “hideaway” headlights continued to dominate the front end (horizontal rather than stacked) while the taillights were similar to that of the GTO. The seller has had this ’67 edition for about a year and performed some mechanical work before losing interest. It’s available as a project in Denver, Colorado, and here on eBay where the seller’s reserve is unmet at $1,030.

Big news for the Grand Prix in 1967 was adding a convertible body style, but it would only last for one year. A new V8 engine became standard equipment, moving from 389 to 400 cubic inches. A 4-barrel carburetor was part of the package along with dual exhaust, resulting in an output of 350 hp. If that weren’t enough, you could still opt for a 428 V8, also new in ‘67. In line with the car’s luxury/ performance mantra, bucket seats were in all cars as was a console for the transmission shifter. Demand increased for the Grand Prix in 1967, up to 43,000 units from 37,000 the year before.

We’re told that this Pontiac may have had only one prior owner and has its original engine and TH-400 automatic transmission. The automobile had been sitting in a garage for at least 40 years, yet the seller was able to get the engine to respond with some tinkering. That involved rebuilding the carburetor and doing a tune-up. Then came the brakes which got all new hardware yet there are still issues in the front. The tranny shifts but it’s going to need servicing, too. The estimated mileage on the old Poncho is 128,000.

Rust is an issue in various parts of the sheet metal and the matching vinyl top is trying to peel itself away. The vehicle has factory air conditioning, which may be complete and may work (with belts reinstalled). You’ll also have to secure a new exhaust as the current one has “rotted away.” The title was lost long before the seller bought the Grand Prix, so the next owner will have to be satisfied with a bill of sale. Is this a project you’d like to undertake? And when was the last time you saw a 1967-68 Pontiac Grand Prix?
