AWESOME CAR!!
My uncle bought a 1969 Grand Prix SJ 428 4-spd new, Mayfair Maize w/black interior, last seen in Pontiac Michigan in 1988. I would love to find that car and buy it.

WOW!! That sounds like a great GP and in a color you rarely see. If I ever hear of one like that I will let you know.

Thank you! Yes, Denny had restored the car over a 10 year span and it was finished in the summer of 2015. It wasn't a body-off restoration, but most of the car was gone through. The car now has 130K, he retired the car as his daily driver back in 1982 with 115K miles.

Did it have a black vinyl top? Was it bought new in Kansas by chance?

Default A few updates...

Did some sorting out under the hood. New hood insulation, washer hoses and clips, correct molded hoses with dated tower clamps, vacuum lines, pump to carb fuel line, valve cover bolts, spark plug wire retainers, pos batt cable retainer & strap, spark plugs, 5-blade flex fan, dated distributor and a much nicer original fan shroud. Also rebuilt and rejetted the carb. As always, still more to do..... Grant

Default Factory Dash Tach

Also installed an original GP dash tachometer. For those that may not know, these tachs are specific to GP, not the same as GTO. They have blue/green filtered lenses built-in to the tach housing and light up a different color than GTO's.
