1977 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ

Description

Equal parts big motor and big luxury, this 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ is a true personal luxury classic. Something this well represented with its two-tone paint and subtle upgrades has a ton of appeal... especially at this value price.

This car really lives up to the "Grand" part of its name. After all, the factory-correct Mojave Tan and Brentwood Brown are great 1970s colors. They have been updated later in life, and so it does a fantastic job of highlighting some of the most interesting curves in the sheet metal as it's used for the two-tone dividing line. This car comes from an era of true style. That's why you get great pieces like the tan pinstripe following the two-tone divide, nicely formed chrome bumpers, and a half vinyl roof that's finished in a harmonizing color to the two-tone. It's all quite well-respected and that's because this is claimed to be a one-owner car. The total impression is both clean and luxurious, but GM's performance division wanted to give you a hint at the V8 power within. So you have the iconic Rally II wheels... and yes, they are even finished in matching tan and brown. That's how well-coordinated this car is!

More of this luxury feeling comes the moment you open the door. The tan interior has a high degree of originality, and it starts with the seats. The plush velour feels great, and while there's plenty of room for family and friends, the fold-down armrest is a reminder the driver is always king. The curved dash surrounds you with everything from the full gauge panel to the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. And it's all set in premium wood-like paneling. Plus, you have great features like a power seat, tilt steering wheel, tinted windows, and power windows to dial-in your ideal comfort seating and atmosphere. You even have the choice to restore factory features like power locks and air conditioning.

Pontiac's legendary 400 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carb on top is hard to beat. Smooth, versatile, and full of big torque, it easily allows this Grand Prix to live up to its effortless cruiser image. It looks terrific with the polished valve covers, bright blue paint, and an overall tidy setup. So it shows the right look of quality investment made during this coupe's life thus far. More importantly, there have been good investments in keeping the V8 a strong runner like an HEI ignition and an aluminum radiator. It all makes for a classic V8 that continues to run strong. On the road, you have all the right features for an easy-driving classic, including a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and newer (2021) touring tires.

Complete with the owner's manual, this Grand Prix is a well-coordinated and well-maintained true personal luxury machine from a time when that meant owning the road. So if you love a truly distinctive classic, call today!
