1962 - Cold Ac, Tri Power & 8 Lugs on 2040-cars
Year:1962
Mileage:79959
Location:

1962 Pontiac Grand Prix – First year of GP and a one year
only body style. Far less common than
63+ with stacked headlights. This car is Grand Prix white(eggshell) over red upholstery. To my knowledge this car started out as a 421
non Air conditioned automatic. It now
has a late 60s 400 with 400 Turbo trans, super authentic 65 Tri Power set up,
with alternator and an aftermarket 60s style UNDERDASH AC which blows
COLD. Compressor was painted satin black
to mimic the original Frigidaire units. So, while not numbers matching, this car is extremely authentic
looking and very very period correct.
Some of the details: ·
Correct 1962 8 lug wheels with correct center
caps/trim rings and period correct red line tires ·
Correct Delco tar Top battery, although it has solid
gel maintenance free guts ·
Correct battery cables ·
Correct hose clamps, be they top post or pinch style ·
Correct Optikleen bottle ·
Correct stainless wipers ·
Correct hoses ·
Correct spark plug wires ·
Correct spark plug wire looms ·
Correct radiator coolant cap ·
Correct radiator coolant tag ·
Correct fuel filter ·
Reproduction carburetor tags ·
Correct chrome valve covers and tall breather ·
Correct decals for rad, fan and battery under hood ·
New under hood insulation ·
Patented “Mouse Trap” seat belt re-tractors with
correct operational tags ·
Optional Door handle scuff plates ·
Optional Stainless gas tank cap trim ·
Correct console mounted vacuum gage ·
Period correct 120 degree sweep tachometer, steering column
mounted ·
Original clear and red wheel with gold logo Grand Prix
center ·
No glass problems ·
Optional Reel type truck light(not working) ·
Perfect original headliner with 2 side mounted dome
lights ·
Original Pontiac/Delco AM radio in dash. Aftermarket AM/FM stereo in glove box. ·
Vintage decals/stickers in quarter windows and on rear
bumper. All will come off, or keep on
for that authentic look. When is the
last time you saw a cool car on the road with a Goldwater for President sticker? ·
1962 TX plates.
Matching front and rear AC blows
cold, lights/horn works, car runs strong, and paint is very very nice. NO tears in the upholstery, power steering is
tight and car tracts well. Car “needs”
nothing and starts right up. Since 98%
of what can be done is done and I have just retired, it’s time to throttle back
and downsize. My loss is your gain. Go to any car show and be the only one with
an “original” 421 Tri Power AC 8 lug wheel GP in white with a RED interior no
less. You will see far more 409 Chevies
at car shows than 421 GPs. Ask
questions or bid on this rare and great 50+ year old car, which I gotta say is
sold as is. Nick - yellowtestarossa@aol.com |

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
