This 4 speed 69 GP can sit alongside any SD455 Trans Am, Ram Air Judge as one of the most desirable Pontiacs ever. The 69 restyle helped ignite the personal luxury coupe craze that lasted nearly 2 decades. And it's fantastic look and styling is as relevant right now as it was when it was released in late 68. An all time great!

Never did buy my used, decent condition Gran Prix or Thunderbird. I had to settle for a Honda CL450. 43 hp. so they claim, heavy, off road (not at all), lead sled. I was pulled over for going 80 on I5 on my way from San Diego to Long Beach, Calif. I was really going 85 and leaking oil. CHP gave me a ticket while simultaneously annoyyeed that the State Of Maine issued paper liseince's and no motorcycle liecence was required.

I was 14 in the summer of 69. An older friend in the group of kids was a 17 year old, whose Dad owned a beautiful 69 GP SJ, with a 438/4brl TH400, with a posi rear. We grew up summering on Great Island in Narragansett, RI. Where the main rd in was a ten year old 4 lane straight called The Escape Road. Built after the hurricane of 58, that devastated the area. Where many drivers still to this day bring their cars out to see how fast they can get on the 2.3 mile downhill for a half mile west bound. We had that GP, with 4 kids in it up to 120! His sister had a 68 Firebird with a 3.8 OHC Straight Six, 4 brl dual exhaust headers and 4 speed called a Sprint, her Dad bought her for graduation. Occasionally she let her little brother use if we washed it for her. That would easily get up to 115 mph, but felt light. The fastest I rode on that road was in my older cousins 66 GTO 400/4 brl 4 speed with posi, that pulled 128 mph at 4,300 rpm’s!

Still have a picture of it with me polishing it, on a pic frame on my desk and I'm now 66.

Also there was a 65 or 66 Catalina 2+2 4-speed and l know for a fact that the early GPs could be had with a stick. I just sent him this video. Beautiful car you have there. I do collect car but my only Pontiac is a 73 455SD 4-speed Firebird Formula that l bought from its original owner in 1986. Garage kept its entire life with 64k miles it's untestored with most of the orignal paint some interior work. Like all my other cars l drive it. No garage queens for me.

I always loved these, particularly the '71 and '72, as I prefer the more serious look of the single headlights. I like the earlier less plastic-looking grill though. And I like both this clean straight rear bumper, and the later boat-tailed rendition. Back in the late '80s or early '90s, 20/20, or one of those network primetime news shows, did a feature where they had an older couple drive an RV around the country, mainly out West IIRC, and stop in at some RV repair shops located near the highways, and see how bad they would get ripped off. The network had their own mechanic who verified the roadworthy condition of the RV, and then whether or not any repairs billed were necessary, and whether or not they were even performed. For the ending segment, the reporter went back and confronted the shops which had ripped them off. This one particular shop owner, who was maybe in his late thirties or early forties, actually fled from the reporter! But their cameras managed to catch the guy's '69 or '70 Grand Prix, and luckily their microphones picked up the sound as he drove off, and I was able to hear that it had a manual transmission! Even as a younger guy, I knew that had to be rare. I forget what color it was though...

428 is an awesome motor rpms of a chevy and the torque of a Pontiac. Very durable and strong assembly.

I bought a ‘69 GP 400 great car, traded in for a new 73 GP 400! (Wish I kept the ‘69)
@youtold77274 ай бұрын
Not as fast as the 69 but the 73 was an awesome car. And fast enough it didn’t have catalytic converter yet used premium gas. 230hp 335(?) torque not too bad. I made 2 tire tracks until I let up it was more than a city block

Bought a new SJ in 1976.light brown with vinyl top. Had a 400,ran pretty good beaing such a heavy car.Gave it to my son to drive as his first car. Used and abused was the word! Tough car.

I had a 72 SJ 400 auto. Same color. Found the build sheet. Was originally red with black strips,rally package. Motor and trans where dated 1971. Car was fast and had a factory what was called a His and Her shifter. My girlfriend at that time liked it so I got her a set of keys to it. She went for a drive with her girlfriend with it. Next day she gave me the keys back, said it scared me. Great memories. Console was same height as the seats. Sure made dates fun!
