This 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix dressed in Mandalay Red with its sleek lines and muscular stance pays homage to Pontiac's performance legacy. The distinctive split grille and stacked headlights make a bold first impression, while the 8-lug 14-inch wheels with 225/70R14 Cooper tires provide a period-correct stance. This Grand Prix's exterior is accentuated by chrome bumpers and fender ornaments that, while showing some age, contribute to its authentic vintage appeal.
Inside, the red vinyl interior transports you back to the early '60s. The bucket seats with a center console exemplify the Grand Prix's blend of luxury and sportiness. The dash retains its classic layout, complemented by a newer dash pad and additional under-dash gauges for more precise readings. A white vinyl headliner caps off the cabin, maintaining the car's period-correct ambiance. The wrapped steering wheel and column-mounted tachometer add a touch of customization to the otherwise stock interior.
Lifting the hood reveals a potent 455 cubic inch V8 engine, a later addition that significantly boosts this Grand Prix's performance. This powerplant breathes through dual 4-barrel Carter carburetors mounted on an Offenhauser intake manifold, promising impressive output. The engine is mated to a robust 4-speed manual transmission, allowing for full control over the V8's power delivery. The dual exhaust system with Xlerator mufflers provides a fitting soundtrack for this classic cruiser. Power steering and power drum brakes ensure confident handling and stopping power.
