Hey Cap'n Mark I'm only 22 so I wasn't around when these cars were in action. I didn't even know the styling of the car. Judging by the pic that is on awesome car. Especially w/the 3 deuce that 's gotta be worth something. DO NOT SCRAP THE CAR:af: I really have something against crushers. Think about it man the muscle car era was just starting to get hot, big blocks were being developped to be better and go faster. What I would give to find something like that:shock: That's just my two cents Marc
A few of you guys generally missed Patton and my sarcastic humor attempts (certain Riviera owner shall remain nameless), but a few of you also recognized the humor and know we'd jump on a chance to steal away with the big GP. In the meantime, Mark - really, you don't want this car. Now give me the name and number of this old guy so I can tell him you hate Pontiacs.:laugh: By the way Mark, what color did you say this car was? I feel much better now that I've at least saved Mark from this mistake.
I really feel good knowing all you guys are looking out for my best interest!:moonu: The car is either dark green or dark blue with a dark interior. So much dust and chicken doo-doo it's hard to tell:shock:
aww... man.. I saw one of these come up behind me and was like what the hell is this wide and low. as it went past i still coulden't figure what it was. missed the logo between the tail lights. looked all over and I want it too!!! they gotta be like 11 ft wide. although i'm looking for a '67. (i think its its own body style or same as a 68) nate
No harm meant Brad. But you didn't include a smilie in your post, so I didn't assume it was sarcasm. Without the smilie it looked like a sincere statement... Again, no harm was intended or implied.:beer
I thought the early and mid 60's Pontiacs were some of the best looking cars going. As an aside I had a 66 Starfire (Olds) with a factory 4 speed and a 425 for about a year. It had 48,000 actual miles on it when I bought it and was real nice. I sold it to an Olds guy in Maine sight unseen thru Hemmings. He drove down with a trailer and took it home. He couldn't get his money out fast enough when he saw it. I think I left money on the table. I usually buy high and sell low. Isn't that how it works? lol Mike D.
Re: SD over the counter parts SD Grand Prixs are exceedingly rare: 16 built for '62 (3 currently known) and only 3 in '63 (none known recovered). Late in 1961, NHRA disallowed the sort of 'as-developed-out-the-side-door' type of parts availability and required factory assembly. Prior to that some SDs had factory-installed engines and others over-the-counter. Other parts (like aluminum sheetmetal) were available over the counter too. I guess it was late in the '61 model year, or right at the start of the '62 MY that Pontiac offered official SD options/cars. The VINs and other documentation is available for all the '62-63 SDs- should anyone be so friggin' lucky to find one of THOSE in a barn... :af: Snag that GP- you'll fall in love. I have a '64 GP- originally a 389 4bbl; when it gets restored the correct '64 Tri-P I bought years ago -- when you could still get a correct set for $275-- will go on. The '64 GP is one of the most strikingly handsome cars ever built. OK, I MAY be slightly partial.... :grin:
