--------------'71 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX ------------- 3 OWNER CALIFORNIA CAR---------------

 

- History -   This is a 3 owner 42 year old car that has spent its entire life in the great state of California. The car was special ordered by the original owner from Arata Pontiac in Burlingame CA as verified by the build sheet and PHS documentation. The car spent its entire life on the San Francisco Peninsula until a friend of mine bought it from the original owner in Daly City CA. with 48,000 actual miles in 2004. At that time the car still had its original paint, belts, hoses, plug wires, spring ring battery cable ends etc..... needless to say all of that has since been replaced to make this classic a reliable daily driver......... It even has the original keys.... It still has both of its original blue and yellow California plates as well....I do have the front license plate and bracket....I think the front end looks better without it... The car now has 56,000 original miles and runs and drives great.... I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere.

 

- Mechanical - The car is powered by the original "born with" numbers matching 300 horse 400 V8... which is the same 400 used in the GTO's that year. The engine runs and sounds excellent. The original points distributor was replaced with a more efficient HEI unit. OEM Pontiac chrome valve covers and air cleaner lid have been added. The engine compartment has been nicely detailed. The original turbo 400 shifts as it should. The car drives and stops straight... Even on the hottest California days the car runs nice and cool and does not overheat....even in bumper to bumper traffic.  Within the last 8,000 miles several parts have been replaced to make this car a reliable daily driver...some of those items are... Radiator(an aftermarket aluminum unit was used), Water pump, Belts, Hoses, Flowmaster mufflers, Battery, Valve cover gaskets The car also has newer deep tread P235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires and new Wheel Vintique Rally II wheels with new center caps, trim rings and lug nuts. The tires could use a rebalancing and there is a slight exhaust leak.....probably and exhaust donut.... just haven't had the time to deal it.  Other than that....the car runs and drives excellent!

 

- Body - This is a straight solid California car that has never been driven on a salted road.....infact....I don't think it has ever been out of the state of California. The undercarriage is that to be expected of a low mile California car. The undercarriage is rock solid and does not have any cancerous rust.....just the usual road grime and minor surface rust. The car was repainted the original color in 2007. It is a basecoat/clearcoat paint job that shows nicely but does exhibit some flaws.... I would consider the paint job to be a 5 footer... This is a 1 repaint car that does not appear to have ever been in a major accident. all of the body panels line up very nicely....just like it left the factory. The bumpers and trim are all original and present nicely. The vinyl top was replaced in 2007 as well. The correct grain was used when the top was replaced. The car is a great driver...turns heads and receives compliments everywhere it goes. The car is still sporting its original Power Beam headlights. A new windshield was recently installed.

 

- Interior - The interior is in mint condition. The dash is perfect....NO CRACKS! The passenger door panel is free from any cracks as well... The drivers door panel does show a minor crack in the armrest area that is hardly noticeable. The seats are free from any rips or trears. The headliner is in excellent condition as well. The carpet does show some fading though but is in excellent condition. The car is well equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows(all working), air conditioning(needs servicing but all there and hooked up), AM radio(inop), clock(inop aren't they all), remote mirror.....etc....
