Overview of 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe For Sale by Owner

The Pontiac Grand Prix is a series of cars produced for over eight generations, spanning 40 years from 1962 through 2008. Until 1987 and up to the end of its fifth generation, the Grand Prix was strictly a 2-door full-size rear-wheel-drive coupe (except for the 1967-only convertible model). However, in its last three generations, the Grand Prix was offered as a front-wheel-drive car in both coupe and sedan body styles. This 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe we have here belongs to the maiden model year of the Grand Prix nameplate. The first-gen Grand Prix was marketed only for three model years until 1964. Hence, this classic machine is a rare collectible in its stock form. This particular car, however, is even more special. It has been modified into a Super Duty version, which was a more powerful special edition of the Grand Prix. To put it simply, this 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Super Duty Tribute has several upgraded components, including a new Super-Duty-spec 421ci engine with less than 1,000 reported miles on it. The car is in exceptional condition, and the current owner reports a new set of tires and a recent oil change.

Exterior and Interior

The original Grand Prix like this fine example we have here, is the perfect embodiment of a classic American luxury car. This 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe flaunts a Dark Blue paint job, completed in 2021, along with a white convertible soft top roof. A plethora of chrome-cladded exterior elements gives the Grand Prix a more opulent aesthetic appeal. This premium appearance is completed by a set of shiny wheels wrapped with American Classic rubber. On the inside, this luxury coupe is elegant and flamboyantly designed. The chrome treatment continues inside, as the dashboard, center console, and all prominent interior elements are either covered or accented by the effulgent element. The front cabin has a pair of large bucket seats, while the rear follows the same formula, along with the addition of a huge center armrest. All in all, the cabin of this Grand Prix Coupe is a time capsule that is reminiscent of a bygone era.

Engine

Under the hood is where this 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Coupe gets the most prominent upgrades. Its stock 303-hp 6.4-liter V8 motor has been swapped out for a new 421ci 7.0-liter V8 engine. With a tri-power, triple dual carburetor set up, this powertrain was rated at 405 hp in the original Super Duty model, a figure expected to be exceeded by this Grand Prix Coupe Tribute. A 3-speed manual transmission drives the rear wheels while the car runs on an upgraded suspension setup. Up front, this Grand Prix has an independent coil spring suspension, whereas the rear end has a solid axle setup comprising leaf springs. In conclusion, this magnificent restomod is a desirable classic gem, which is perfect for a keen enthusiast.
