Greetings to All!! imotors is quite pleased to offer possibly the nicest 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix Available anywhere! 1974 was the Last model year of regular leaded fuel, and NO catalytic converters!!! This one is equipped with the Pontiac 400 4 Barrel V8 with a Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmission, and straight dual exhaust!!! It is nicely equipped with Factory A/C, Power Windows, Power Trunk Release, and an AM/ FM Radio. Buckets and a console make it that much more desirable!!! Pontiac lovers everywhere get weak in the knees when one like this becomes available. A One family owned, always serviced Grand Prix that was apparently treated like one of the family! Examples like this one are unheard of!
This 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix was purchased on August 7, 1974 at Jack Roley Pontiac in Belle Vernon, Pa. It has spent it's entire life in the area, always garaged and pampered by it's original owners in Charleroi, Pa. Purchased as a gift for his loving wife to drive the short distances to the grocery store and church on Sunday. After He passed, it basically was retired to the garage where I found it. It had been sitting, unused since 2001. There are many detailed photos below, along with the last state safety inspection invoice dated December 12, 2001 with 34,936 miles. It had only been driven TWO(2) miles since the previous years inspection in 2000. I have many many years of past invoices documenting the low low mileage that will accompany the car, along with it's original license plate(photo below). We also have all of the owners books, AND the factory issued window sticker listing the many options!
Since awakening, we have replaced the battery, and changed the oil and oil filter(Brad Penn with Zinc). The air filter is also new, along with all 8 A/C spark plugs. We also replaced the radiator, upper and lower hoses, and all three fan belts. The tires were new sometime in 2001, and are a tad on the lumpy side. As I drive the car, they seem to be improving. Replacement is recommended for long distance driving.
This Gorgeous 1974 Grand Prix runs and drives fantastic. I have put close to 100 miles on it. It shifts nice and smooth, and there are no shakes, vibrations, or unpleasant noises!! The A/C blows nice and cold, and is still charged with R12. The front radio speaker is dead, but the rear sounds great. Everything else works as it did in 1974. The Colonial Gold paint is 90% original, as is the Black interior. Chrome and brightwork is gorgeous with no pitting anywhere. There is one small rust blister on the bottom of the passenger front fender. Underneath is as nice as above, with no rust or rot anywhere!!
Remember....They are original only Once!!!
Take a look at the 50 plus photographs below and see the actual pristine condition of this One of A Kind Pontiac Grand Prix.
By bidding you agree to all terms set forth below.
Many Thanks for Your Interest! Good Luck with Your Bidding!! |

Our Colonial Gold Grand Prix was purchased new in August of 1974 at Jack Roley Pontiac in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania
|
You can tell by the condition of the Original paint that this Beauty was Always Garaged and Pampered!!
|
There is a small ding in the left rear quarter panel. Paintless dent removal should remove this easily! |
|
The Original Colonial Gold Paint Just Glistens in the sun. Pretty much the same way it did 40 years ago!! A few minor nicks and scratches from normal usage, but certainly nothing to deter from the Beauty and Originality of This 1 Owner GP!!
|
|
Note the absence of pitting.......Simply amazing for a 40 year old car!
|
|
In this Photo you can see the last time it was registered and licensed.......Also included is the original license plate that was issued in 1974.
|
The exterior is in fantastic condition and is certainly commensurate with the low mileage and excellent care our Gorgeous Grand Prix has seen throughout its 40 year life.
|
No rust bubbles under the vinyl top!!
|
|
When was the last time that you saw one this nice and original?? |
|
Small blister on the passenger fender!
|
|
I drove these cars in my youth, as I am sure you did also!!! I had a 1973, and a 1975 when I was in my twenties...a VERY long time ago!
|
|
The black pin stripes were painted on at the factory FORTY years ago!!
|
|
The front bumper fillers could use paint. I decided to leave it original, and let the new owner decide!!
|
|
The chrome front bumper is also free of pitting!
|
|
Filler needs painted here also
|
|
This is one Gorgeous Grand Prix!!
|
How Beautiful is that dash??!

Despite muscle cars having strong reputations as some of the most impractical cars one can buy, they've occasionally had one of the most useful and practical features a car can sport: a hatchback. In the 1980s, General Motors' Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird had one, and it added respectable utility to the sports cars. But the people at GM thought they could make the F-Body cars even more useful. So, after a few clay-model experiments, Pontiac built three examples of an extended-roof 1985 Pontiac Trans Am Kammback concept. Spotted by GM Authority, one of these Trans Am Kammbacks (although "shooting brake" seems like the more apt descriptor) is going on the block at the Mecum Kissimmee auction in early January 2019. Reportedly only three of these prototypes/experiments/test mules were built to driveable specs, and this example, VIN No. EX4796, has additional history that might make it the ultimate example. According to Mecum, the show car, which has made appearances at numerous auto shows, also spent some time at the race track — just not as a participant. It was used as a pace car for PPG and IMSA racing and temporarily had a light bar and "two-way communications equipment." Following its pace duty, and after GM stopped the project from going any further, it was put into Pontiac Engineering's private collection for 13 years. Famous Michigan car collector and Pontiac dealership owner John McMullen then bought the car. He eventually sent it to Pontiac specialist Scott Tiemann for a full restoration to the gorgeous condition it is in today. As seen in the photos, the Trans Am features white paint over a gray leather interior. It houses a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood and has a five-speed manual transmission. The wild concept is rare enough to be super cool, but we can't help but think of an infinitely more practical, more modern, more powerful, and arguably more interesting car we'd rather have. Manual Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon in Black Diamond anybody? Or, if you don't care about the extra doors, perhaps the Callaway's Corvette AeroWagen is more applicable. Either way, we're in full support of any shooting brakes we can find. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.
