1967 Pontiac Grand Prix 1.8T Quattro

The 1967 model year was significant for the Grand Prix—for a variety of reasons, The third generation was once again restyled in 1967. The same bumper that was on the Catalina was still being utilized, but the front end was entirely new and improved. An integrated grille now held both disappearing headlights, headlight doors with integral grille, rather than having stacked headlights like the Catalina. A louvered front fender extension panel was now placed where the top headlight would have been housed. Hidden behind three small, horizontal slots were new parking lights. The newest feature showcased on the 1967 GP was the hidden windshield wipers. A new one-piece side glass with GP initials frosted on it was featured on the hardtop coupe, while twin pinstripes decorated the fender tops. The Grand Prix convertible model was introduced for one year only. The Grand Prix got a completely new look from the belt-line down, and, for the only time, a production convertible was offered of which just 5,856 were built! What's more, the engine lineup saw several changes as well.A total of 37,125 hardtop coupes were sold, while 5,856 convertibles were sold in the 1967 model year, , This 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix convertible was repainted red, though its original color was golf turquoise metallic. The original color seats appear to have been reupholstered at some time, and the drivers seat has a tear in it, the rest of the interior is in average condition. The factory 400 4barrel engine is believed to be original as well as the TH400 automatic transmission. The factory 8 lug wheels are the perfect wheels for a vintage Pontiac, and the radial white wall tires make this car float down the road. The car starts well, with the aftermarket Edelbrock carb replacing the factory Carter AFB. The car has not been driven extensively and has been in a private collection for the last 20 years and has been stored in climate controlled storage. When the car was repainted there was some patch work that was done on the body mainly in the lower 1/4 panel area, althought not perfect the repair is holding up. There are spots in the paint where there are sanding marks and some spots in the door jambs where the factory color shows. The top works well and goes up and down with ease. The top material is black and overall in good condition but there are a few spots that are not perfect. The factory radio works, as well as all the lights and turn signals. The car shifts through all gears and is driveable. Although this is a nice car, it would not be considered a show car. All of the trim and chrome is in decent shape. The frame and floors are solid. All of the glass is in good shape, but the body is not perfect, but would be the perfect place to start if you wanted to make this car into a show winner.
