This is a Ziebart vehicle. If you’re a purist and have been looking for a COMPLETELY UNMOLESTED 1971 Grand Prix with ALL original documentation, then this the one you’ve been looking for! This is a highly optioned car with factory 8 track player, power locks, rally gauge cluster and rally II wheels. This ALL ORIGINAL 1971Grand Prix is PHS verified. Here is the history and specifics on the car:

This 1971 Grand Prix was delivered to GVM Pontiac in Carnegie, PA (per the PHS reproduction window sticker) in July, 1971. It was purchased by a gentleman by the name of  Mr. Priest (per the Protect-O-Plate) in August, 1971.  He drove the car occasionally until he died in 1995.  When he died, the car had 45,000 miles on it.  At that time, his estate sold the car to a local lady by the name of  Mrs. Smith.  She rarely drove the car.  It mostly sat in her climate-controlled storage facility.  Because she never drove the car, she decided to sell it in 2010.  At this point, the car had 47,000 miles on it.  She sold the car to a gentleman by the name of Mr. Weber in Iowa.  Again, he owned the car for 3 years and only drove it twice – once on a long trip.  The car just sat in his climate controlled storage facility. At this point, (September, 2013), he sold the car to me.  It had just turned 48,000 miles.  Fortunately, when the original owner (Mr. Priest) bought the car, he had the car undercoated by Ziebart. This is evident by the thick undercoating all underneath the undercarriage of the car and in the engine bay. The car was also injected with undercoating in the door sills and door jambs as evidenced by the yellow plugs seen in the pics and the Ziebart sticker on the inside of the driver’s side door.  Whether this car has ever been driven in snow or inclement weather is hard to tell, because there is not one speck of rust to be found  ANYWHERE on any part of this car.  The fact that this car has always been garage-kept and meticulously maintained and  pampered,  has completely preserved every aspect of this car. It is truly in AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION!  (NOTE: I have the contact info on the previous 2 owners).

EXTERIOR: As previously stated, there is no rust anywhere on any of the body panels on this car. All body panels are original. The original chrome bumpers are near mint as is all of the original chrome trim. The original chrome front grilles are flawless.  One of the truly fascinating aspects of this car is that the original Code 2359 Aztec Gold Poly lacquer paint is in near-flawless condition.  The paint still has incredible shine and luster with minimal defects.  The Dark Brown vinyl top is original and is in excellent condition with no fading. There are no rust or bubble issues anywhere under the original vinyl top. All glass is original and in perfect shape. All weatherstripping and seals are original and in perfect shape. The original Power Beam  headlights work perfectly. The original taillights look new and work perfectly. The original 14x7 Rally II wheels are in excellent condition, as are the original PMD red center caps which still have almost perfect color and no fading.  The original Rally II wheels sit on a brand new set of G78-14 3/8” dual whitewall bias ply tires.  This was the exact tire that came on the car in 1971 and matches the original spare tire in the trunk perfectly.  When I purchased the car, it had a brand new set of  BF Goodrich raised white letter radials on it.  (These tires come with the car for those who prefer the look of the white letter tire to the original dual whitewall tire.)  At some point after purchasing the car, the Mr. Priest added a passenger door OEM mirror, and red pinstriping.  This is confirmed by conversations with the previous 2 owners and the “patina” of these 2 items. When I detailed the vehicle, great care was taken to ‘preserve’ the Ziebart overspray present on the panels around the front bumper and wheel well trim. This car is a true education on how the Ziebart process worked and how it was applied back in the day. It was truly a great product that worked fantastically at preventing rust.

INTERIOR: EVERYTHING in the Code 93 Dark Saddle interior is original to the car and in pristine condition  with NO FADING – the package tray, the vinyl seats, the head liner, the rear seat side panels, the front door panels, the front floor mats, the carpet, the AM radio, the clock, all gauges, dash,  console, etc. All interior lights work perfectly, as do all the gauges and  the key buzzer. The only items not working in the interior are the original clock and  the cigarette lighter. The front seats were professionally re-covered 2 months ago in the original Dark Saddle color and pattern (AMES Performance Reproductions).  The original seat covers were in excellent condition, but had the typical split in the middle of the seat where the stitching and buttons are. The headliner does have a tiny hole (barely noticeable) above the drivers head, probably from a cigarette burn!

TRUNK: The original spare tire and jack system are completely intact and in pristine condition.  A reproduction trunk liner from AMES Performance is in pristine condition. The original jack decal is still present under the deck lid and in pristine condition. The original rear speaker and cover are still present. The original cardboard side panels are present and in pristine condition. There is no rust anywhere to be found inside the trunk. It is extremely clean and pristine. There obviously have never been any roof  leaks with this car – another testament to a garage- kept car.

ENGINE BAY: The original XF code 400 4 barrel engine runs and starts  perfectly and has not been rebuilt, because there has never been a reason to. The original Turbo Hydramatic transmission shifts and works perfectly. The engine bay still retains its original battery tray and holddown clamp, alternator, radiator and shroud, wiring, brake booster, master cylinder, heater core, Quadrajet carburetor,  manifolds, underhood liner, and air cleaner. The following correct-for-the-year  reproduction items have been added:  Packard black sparkplug wires, tower clamps, AC compressor and sticker (working and blowing cold – R12), and battery cables.  The engine oil was recently changed as were the filters.  All new hoses have been added.  The transmission has been serviced recently and the radiator has been flushed and filled.  I have the original AC compressor which is in near-perfect condition (seized up) – this comes with the car.  A new AC Delco battery was recently installed for fresh and reliable starts. All maintenance records for services I have performed, come with the car. The engine bay has been cleaned and detailed to resemble its original factory look when it first rolled into the dealer showroom in July, 1971.  I have deliberately not painted the engine block because most of the original paint (especially on the valve covers) is present and in great shape.  The other reason is because no correct reproduction engine paint for Pontiac cars for the 1971-72 model years is in production.  Additionally, if you look closely, you can see the Ziebart undercoating on the tops of the wheel wells and frame. The original windshield washer motor and squirters are not working.

UNDERCARRIAGE: There is no rust to be found anywhere underneath the car.  This is due to the thick black Ziebart undercoating found everywhere underneath.   The car still retains its original  3.08 POSI rear end.  A new set of shocks in the correct light gray color have been added  recently. A new Magnaflow exhaust system in the correct factory pattern was installed by the 2^nd owner approx. 5 years ago.  It is still in near-mint condition.

This ALL ORIGINAL 1971 Grand Prix Model J comes with ALL OF IT’S ORIGINAL documentation - owner’s manual, owner’s manual plastic sleeve, warranty leaflet/card, Pennsylvania license plate with ‘71’ sticker, Protect-O-Plate, two build sheets, and PHS reproduction window sticker. This may be the nicest, most original, pristine, unmolested 1971 Grand Prix still in existence. If you’re a purist, then you’ll be hard-pressed to find another all original and completely unmolested 1971 Grand Prix as nice as this one. Because of the extremely low original mileage – 48,200 miles and ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE condition and originality, this is a truly an INVESTMENT GRADE 1971 Grand Prix. Additionally, a high quality sign with car specifics  and frame with documents come with the car (see pic). Also, the memorabilia items pictured in the trunk and the models pictured in the engine bay come with the car.

eBay is littered with all kinds of modified Grand Prix’s and unscrupulous sellers who deliberately give out vague and incomplete information in an attempt to hide defects to try to get more for their car.  You won’t find that here!

Lastly, PLEASE don’t waste my time with silly low ball offers. I won’t respond to them. I know exactly what this car  is worth in this original condition and I won’t settle for less. I’m not desperate to sell the car. If it sells to someone who is a purist and appreciates pristine original Pontiacs, then that’d be great! If  not, then I’m happy to keep her.
