Without a doubt Pontiac has had much to contribute to the automotive industry, to be specific to the North American automotive scene. Founded in 1926 as a division of General Motors, Pontiac went on to produce some of the most recognizable and endearing vehicles until its demise in 2010, almost 100 years after its establishment. A well-known Pontiac is the Grand Prix, which was produced from 1962 to 2008., under eight generations. The fifth generation produced from 1977 to 1987 is considered a great classical muscle car. Up for grabs is a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ with just 98,000 miles on the clock and reportedly owned by the same owner for the past 41 years.
Exterior and Interior
This 2-door 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ comes bedecked in a no-nonsense black and with a fit of flair thanks to the gold pinstriping around the vehicle. The front features quad rectangular headlights with an elaborate chrome crosshatch grille and front bumper. Revised rear taillight lenses in a chrome bezel add character to it. Reportedly a set of OEM Pontiac branded wheels painted in chrome and black surrounded by white-walled tires grace the Grand Prix. The LJ is the luxury trim of the Grand Prix, and as such, it is appointed with a velour cloth interior in Camel Tan and extended to the carpets, door trim, and dash. The bucket seats feature rudimentary power functions. Chrome trimming is very much evident in the interior amalgamated with the velour cloth trim. The instrument panel is embedded in the faux wood trim. The seller reports that the interior is all original apart from the aftermarket Sony CD/radio player connected to a custom sound system comprising three amplifiers, one subwoofer, five front speakers, and two rear speakers. The air conditioning has been upgraded to 13-A specification for better cooling. The original radio is included with the sale as well.
Engine
Beneath the luxury and grand looks, this 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ comes equipped with a snarling 301cu (4.9L) Pontiac V8 engine with a two-barrel carburetor coupled to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission spewing out 135hp of power. It is reported that the engine is original. The car comes with dual exhausts and dual catalytic converters. Stopping power is enhanced by the front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
