Sports Addition: 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix

This next car comes as a tip from Jeff who writes: By the pictures, it looks like the owners are doing quite well so it makes you wonder how "Sports Addition" made the cut. That being said, this looks to be a great cash car for daily or first car for a teen.  Find this 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix offered for $3650 in Houston, TX via craigslist.

Sheep In A Wolf's Hoodie: 1966 Land Rover Defender on Pontiac Grand Prix Chassis

If you've ever spent time under a car, you know what you can get with a little hard work and a pair of donor cars.  All manner of crazy beasts start with a simple thought from some a mad scientist...but this next car is so perplexing that I'm going to have to give it the official Bearded Spock award and just hope it gets swallowed up in the next black hole to dimension Z.  Find this 1966 Land Rover Defender on a Pontiac Grand Prix Chassis offered for $2,500 in Taunton, MA via craigslist.

OTAS 820 Giannini: 1969 Lombardi Grand Prix

Italian week is wrapping up over here on DT and I can't believe we haven't posted any cars that were held in place by old pieces of firewood...because nothing says "Italian" like scrap wood wheel chocks.  And nothing says awesome like a rare Fiat 850 based thing that has styling by Giuseppe Rinaldi and something around 100 produced.

We Build Excitement: 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP ASC McLaren Turbo

The '90s was an awesome time if you were a Pontiac fan who loved to cruise to his local dealer and check out the GM badge engineered junk that was covered in Pontiac specific plastic body cladding.  If that wasn't rad enough, you could dig deeper into your pocketbook and buy a Pontiac that had engineering provided by McLaren.  WHOA!  It'll be the ride of your life with an injection of British supercar engineering by McLaren...oh..wait...ASC (American Sunroof Corp)-McLaren of Detroit isn't the same as McLaren Automotive from something-shire out of the UK.  Still...I bet you can't find a McLaren that has that much unnecessary venting for less money. Find this 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP ASC McLaren Turbo offered for $8000 in Mountain View, CA via craigslist. Tip from Matt V.

Drama! 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix

We've had some conflict behind the scenes at DT...and if those terrible car shows have taught me anything (other than how many folks have more money than sense) it is that drama sells, especially behind the scenes drama.  So, when this next car came in I thought it looked sweet, but DT's resident cub reporter Hunsbloger started griping about the hood pins and the 8-track that is probably not original (they didn't make it big in cars till 1966-7).  Naturally, this turned into a full fledged brawl, complete with insults about not telling the difference between an hardtop and a coupe, but the bottom line is that Huns is wrong and this car is awesome.

Cheap Muscle: 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix

The first generation Pontiac Grand Prix was a full sized B-Body based monster that was built on a shared chassis with the Buick Wildcat, Oldsmobile Delmont 88, Pontiac Catalina, and Chevrolet Impala. However, Pontiac was GM's "performance" brand so you could get it with a 421 cubic inch V8 that put 370 horsepower through a set of three two-barrel carburetors known as Tri-Power.

5k: There's No Place Like Home: 1963 Pontaic Grand Prix

In 1962 GM was enjoying a great start to the NASCAR Grand National season, they'd won 18 of the first 20 races and 12 of those wins were full sized Poncho two doors. It was also the year that Pontiac introduced the Grand Prix on the full sized B-body (Catalina) chassis.  The name hinted at its racing pedigree, after all, it had bucket seats, 8-lug wheels on huge finned aluminum brakes, and a center shift console, it had to be a sports car! In 1963, the Grand Prix was given a minor restyling (along will all other full sized Pontiacs) -- it got a cool squared off roof treatment and unique concave rear glass.  Find this 1963 Pontaic Grand Prix offered for $5,500 here on craigslist, located in Brimfield, MA.

10k: F=ma: 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix 455ci

If you've been paying attention recently, you may have noticed that we have featured a bunch of swaps recently.  There really isn't anything in the water, it has just been a barrage of well priced engine-swapped MGs, Starlets, and they just seem so tempting.  A swapped sleeper is certainly a cool way to do business, but sometimes you just want 455 cubic inches of OEM power to shred the tires in style.  Find this 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ currently bidding for $7,200 reserve-not-met with $15,000 buy-it-now on eBay with 5 days to go.

5k: Unicorn? 1990 ASC/McLaren Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo

The fifth generation Pontiac Grand Prix was available from 1988 through 1996 as Pontiac's mid-sized personal luxury coupe.  The fastest Grand Prix in 1989/1990 was the ASC/McLaren version that added a turbocharger to GM's 3.1 liter V6 engine for a total output of 205 horsepower -- plus ASC added enough plastic glue-on body cladding to make the car look like a transformer.  About 2000 of the Turbo Grand Prixs were built and tipper Andy L sent us this example, along with an excellent write up about it. Find this 1990 ASC/McLaren Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo offered for $3,400 in Lincoln, NE via craigslist.

20k: 8-Lug 2-Doors: 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix

The first generation Pontiac Grand Prix was a full sized personal luxury coupe offered from General Motors based on the full sized Catalina platform.  The early cars were noted for powerful big block V8 engines and 8-lug wheels; no under-engineered components on the big beast.  The Grand Prix soldiered on for years and the name was killed just short of the dissolution of GM's Pontiac brand during the 2008 carpocalypse. There were notable versions including the Grand Prix Aerocoupe...but the first generation was the best.  Find this 1966 Pontiac Grand Prix for sale in Lakeland, FL currently bidding for $16,399 reserve-not-met with 2 days to go via ebay.
