As the ‘70s automotive market was facing emission standards and impending fuel economy standards, the general management of Pontiac knew that their performance element was going to take a hit. Thus, the division launched a change in strategy to move Pontiac more up-market and toward more luxury-centric buyers. As a result, the Grand Ville was born as a sub-series trim package for the Bonneville. This exquisite example of the 1973 Pontiac Grand Ville Convertible comes to our inventory from Massachusetts with just 56,000 miles on its odometer. This classic land yacht is perfect for those who like to make a statement while putting a smile on vintage car lovers on the road.
With the Grand Ville being the top-of-the-line model in the Pontiac lineup it exudes class and sophistication. It was the ideal vehicle for the American businessman, featuring a large chrome grille and bumpers, a wide hood, and four individual headlights. This example is finished in a gorgeous brown paint job, which was reportedly completed in 2019. The tan convertible soft top makes for the best of both worlds, making this Grand Ville a versatile machine. The ride height and comfort are taken care of by front independent suspension and rear 4-link solid axle with coils all around. This land yacht sits on its original 15-inch wheels wrapped in new Cooper tires while stopping power is provided by front power disc brakes and rear drum brakes. You step in through the massive doors onto a gorgeous brown leather-wrapped bench seat. With wood veneer and leather on every piece of trim you touch, this interior is truly a luxurious experience. It also has convenient options such as power windows, which were revolutionary in the 70s.
There were only two engine options for the Grand Ville, and the bigger, more powerful 455 cubic inch V8 powers our subject car. This churns 290 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. It is mated to the 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic, giving the car seamless, smooth shifts. The car's service history is reported to be up to date on this car as well, with a recent oil change.

The Pontiac GrandVille is one of Pontiac’s lesser known nameplates. That’s because it was actually a sub-variant of the more popular Pontiac Bonneville. Produced between 1971 and 1975, nearly 300,000 were made. However, the Malaise Era of the seventies would be the death knell for this large, comfortable land yacht with its gargantuan V8 engine burbling away under the hood. Hence, you won’t find many GrandVilles around, making this 1975 Pontiac GrandVille something of an interesting, as well as relatively uncommon, find. The car is an all-original example that’s reportedly been owned by one family. Furthermore, we’re told that it’s all up-to-date on servicing.

One of Pontiac’s last cars before this great American automaker bid goodbye in 2010, the Solstice was a two-door roadster that was made between 2005 and 2010. Over 65,000 were sold, with the car closely related to the Saturn Sky and Opel GT. Yes, the Solstice sort of goes against Pontiac’s typical fare, doesn’t it? Instead of a V8 it packs a four-cylinder under the hood, and comes with a rather compact footprint. However, the Solstice was created in response to a changing world where fuel economy, frugality and sensible size were becoming increasingly prevalent. Plus, it was Pontiac’s first two-seater since the Fiero of the Eighties. Today, finding a Solstice isn’t easy but we have this 2007 Pontiac Solstice for your consideration. With a shade under 56,000 miles to its name, this Fort Myers-based car could be your ideal modern classic for those weekend cruises.
Pontiac, one of those great American brands that is no more, is something of a legend. Between 1926 and 2010, they’ve given us plenty of great nameplates, some truly awesome muscle cars, potent pony cars and flamboyant full-size sedans. One of their key offerings in that last segment between 1954 and 1966 was the Star Chief. This was initially a top trim package for the Chieftain model before becoming a separate model. Finding a Star Chief isn’t easy because these vehicles were never intended to be collectibles. That’s despite over 203,000 being made in 1955, the year from which this 1955 Pontiac Star Chief hails. So if you wish to own this vehicle, you’d better act fast as it’s in great condition. It’s currently domiciled in Lake Elsinore, California, if you’re interested to go check it out.
Pontiac’s fine GTO is a testament towards fighting a corporate injustice. When GM banned their auto divisions from competing in racing due to some irrational reason, the petrolheads inside the brands were livid. Three gentlemen, namely John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins and Russ Gee didn’t fight, though. Instead, they came up with a cunning plan. They’d create a model that was basically a thinly-veiled racer, disguised as a production car. Then, they’d sell it to customers who knew what to do with it. Hence, the GTO was born in 1964, with a name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO, a Tempest-based platform, and of course, big V8 power. Today, we have a nice first-generation 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible Restomod for sale from Wichita Falls, Texas. The current owner says that it’s a great car and enjoyable to drive. It’s also been taken to over thirty car shows in a mere three years!
Nothing beats the experience of cruising around town in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. Imagine what buyers must have felt like back then? Ford’s hit pony car was literally flying off the showroom floors. For the first full production year, 1965, Ford sold over half a million! This 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of them, and it’s now available to purchase in Jacksonville, Florida. With just under 40,000 miles, this pony packs a nice 302 under the hood, paired with power steering and a front disc brake conversion for better stopping prowess.
This Cutlass convertible is a well-sorted classic that blends vintage muscle-car style with thoughtful performance-oriented upgrades. Presented as a 442 tribute while remaining a Cutlass convertible at its core, this car focuses more on drivability and presence than factory originality. With 95,977 miles showing, it has clearly been enjoyed while benefiting from substantial mechanical improvements. The combination of big-block power, an automatic transmission, and open-top cruising makes it a strong candidate for weekend drives, local shows, or relaxed highway cruising.
Now here’s a lovely cruiser for someone to enjoy, whether they’re sixteen or sixty years old. This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster hails from the hallowed R107 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s SL-Class luxury grand tourer. This generation was made between 1971 and 1989, and of the 300,000 plus cars that were made, over two thirds came to North America. The car was a cult classic with the rich and famous, or even infamous. Now, cars like this are becoming fantastic classics to own and drive, as well as the perfect way to experience a classic Mercedes-Benz drive without giving up too many comfort features. For example, this 91,112-mile machine rocks a 4-speed automatic transmission, which was one of the key upgrades for the 1981 model year. It’s also got a Blaupunkt San Francisco SQR 28 cassette radio player, a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V8, and is up for grabs in Montclair, New Jersey.
