oh because one person has an idea and makes videos on it only THAT person can do that? honestly more people should do this get the younger generation into making these terrible financial decisions and priceless memories rescuing these awesome relics of the past
Your brother has been cracking me up ever since "I'm carrying excessive amounts of... person." I think that was the first Swanny video. You two can both bring the zingers!
I owned a 1976 GP. I bought it in 1979 with only 22k miles and sold it in 1985 with 130k trouble free miles. I felt like a king driving that car on the interstate. I wish I never sold it. This is the last of the true Grand Prixs.
Another awesome revive and drive! That ol girl deserves some love. New starter, tighten up the front end, carb, clean tank etc. I think it can be made into a pretty reliable cruising machine. I don't care what anyone says, the big underpowered 70's American land yachts time is coming, maybe not in value but popularity.
@@PoleBarnGarage definitely! Doesn't take much to wake em up a bit. My 76 Torino has a rv cam, aluminum intake and 4 barrel carb upgrade. Dual exhaust with stock manifolds. Scoots pretty good for a big car.
I’m loving the land-yacht stuff. My granddad had one of those LTD’s, except his was a landau and not a roadster. This Grand Prix is a great looker from about a half block away. Stands out from all the soft curve cars with their computer generated names.
Sweet ride. I grew up in a Pontiac family in a neighboring state. The guts of this car are solid and once the t-tops and little things are addressed, bet this turns into your favorite runabout. Thanks for saving it
You guys are Absolute TROOPERS ! You refused to trailer it, persevered and were Successful. It's a great car , please do NOT let it go to the derby. So many of those Gran Prix's and Monte Carlos got used in derby cuz they won alot. It does look great driving down the road. Excellent Job !!!! Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them .
I absolutely love when you and ur brother do these type videos, I hope to see you guys do more of these especially since another channel I wont mentioned happened to get too big and stopped doing these videos and I think you guys do it better anyways.. keep up the great work guys and hope to see more..
@@Accountoffline595 I am a part of the low buck club, on the main page where you subscribe there is a button that says join, hit that button and you can pay I think $1 or $5 a month and get exclusive and early content from him by being a member, highly suggest it if you are a big fan of him, he is a great guy and deserves as much as possible for all the hard work he does and how honest of a person he is.. hes very genuine and the REAL low budget builder unlike some other channels that say "low budget builds" but it's not something ur every day guy can afford, pole barn garage is a real good dude and is honest, check it out..
Oh definitely. Nevermind all of the rusted body panels, the fuel supply situation, the issues with the tank itself, the starter, the brakes, the leaking radiator, and everything else...😂😂😂 I'm just playing bud. It would be a nice project for someone to take on to repair all of the rust, replace the tank, overhaul the braking system, the T-tops, and rock it around. I know that I'd pimp it.
This car is badass, love the color and that sweet T top that'll be certainly difficult to find new glass for. Definitely rusty but it'd be cool to see it become fully roadworthy again.
I tell you what - there's nothing like completing a journey in a car that likes throwing you a curve ball every few miles. The sense of satisfaction in getting the beast to where you want to go under its own steam (literally in this case too!) is one that is hard to replicate.....and it gives you some great stories to tell and relive as well. Good on you both for persevering and letting the Ponty prove herself once she cleared her throat, stretched and could get down to business after the expected repairs of her doing that. All the best
Nice job saving this one! There's a third gen Grand Prix for sale by my house that I've been scoping out every time I drive past. Might pick it up as my next project.
These are definitely coming up in value. It’s worth saving. 400’s came with 6x heads through 79.. I’d totally love to have that car.. great save fellas
Classic, Let’s get the Boat 🚤 Tank !!,I was 6 yrs old when my Father took me to go pic up his New 1972 Grand Prix SJ off the showroom floor!!! Canary Yellow/tan leather seats and half top,Duals,air shocks on the rear,GT Mags & Good years st radials you talking about Sharp!!USMC. Thank for the memories 🇺🇸💥
BiCentennial 76. 50 yr anniversary car. Keeper. Restoration for the Auction one Day, maybe. VIN search for sure. Nice car original paint. A good detail it'll look sharp.
I owned a 1963 GP and a 1980 GP. That orange was part of the original engine colors. My 1963 was midnight blue with GP mag wheels and black naugahyde interior. Chrome everywhere. The ‘63 was part of the Pontiac wide track series. The 1980 was two tone burgundy and silver with burgundy leatherette interior. They were both excellent automobiles. Enjoy your ‘76.
That was entertaining on a whole new level. So happy you saved that special car from an ignominious ending. She deserves an honest restoration. You and your brother are an awesome pairing for the channel.
I love how people say your a "copycat" when you are more legit than most of these channels that do this genre of video. Junkyard Digs is an exception because he is a natural teacher. People are just jealous that you get to enjoy your hobby and they dont have the balls to post themselves doing this. Anyways, you and your crew are amazing and keep doing what YOU want to do not do what EVERYONE ELSE wants you to do!
I saw that guy getting roasted on the Facebook page. I am so glad to see it saved. I have my own stepside project but I’d be all over that Grand Prix. 70s Pontiacs are my favorite.
Boy was I worried you were gonna pull a Jay Leno whilst you were down under fiddling with the fuel lines...WHEW!!!! Fantastic video!! Best $.99 spent a month! I even put it in my will to continue forever!!!!
Always had those big cars. Last one was 1979 Lincoln town car. As long as you’re not blind, you don’t need “road feel”. Just don’t over drive the car. (Don’t go around curves like an Indy car). And those cars could take a beating. I got hit in a 1965 ford wagon while sitting at a red light, behind a tractor trailer. The guy who hit me was doing 60mph in the rain and never hit his brakes. He put a big dent in the back of my car, yet I drove it home. (He had a 1972 Buick Rivera.) he didn’t. Nowadays, a low speed impact will total a vehicle!
Another great video, love the ones where your brother joins you, you two have that brother chemistry thats actually pretty rare these days. Keep up the great work and remember to cherish the memories .
I have a neighbor that has a SJ Grand Prix parked in a shead . You've inspired me to try to purchase it. He doesn't drive anymore. Enjoyed your video 👍
Dalton you and your brother Cody are awesome for saving this mid 70's Pontiac Grand Prix car and i definitely would fix that top from rusting further by ripping that Vinyl top off and repairing the roof metal and paint that part of the roof white and just refreshing the rest of the car because she's a keeper 🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪💪👍👍
I really dig your revive and drive videos - they never go smoothly, but they show that you always seem to maintain your positive mental attitude. I also love that you don't go for the same old kind of cliche'd classics all the time. Your videos are always entertaining - and I learn stuff, which is a plus. Cheers.
I am exhausted from watching this one! I am impressed at how innovative you guys were keeping it moving. And buy a new jacket before that one spontaneously combusts!
You guys had me cracking up this entire trip!! Another great video dalton! Thanks for always making me laugh and finding cool cars to bring home, definitely always look forward to your posts!!
I just recently purchased a Pontiac Bonneville coupe (called Parisienne here in Canada) and, while not quite a land yacht, is still massive and drives like a personal luxury boat.
You and Cody make a quality video! That’s a lot of car for $1800 - here in Massachusetts that’s a restoration candidate and not derby fodder. JD will clean her up!
You guys are awesome, I love the no fear attitudes y'all have, and all the old school vehicles you save, reminds me of my childhood..thank y'all for everything you do to save these timeless classics from sure death..PBG rocks..🤘🤙👏 golf clap
love PBG and really enjoy seeing your brother on here too! he's a good dude ya can tell you both are! and you both work well together, show people how to do shit with what's available and have a kick ass time doing it! thanks for the great videos! they always make me laugh and learn something new along the way!🙏🏼🤘
Not running to bad at all after the return was plugged She is a gem I feel you Dalton just fall in love with every car ya drive and want to keep them all @Pole Barn Garage
Thank you Dalton aka "Dale"! Ignore the trolls you're doing god's work sir! Your misery is our entertainment! You really can't make this stuff up and thank you for filming it.
’m happy to see you exploring the natural beauty of the canyons of Palma springs. I moved here many years ago because I thought it was paradise. I still can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather live. You should take a trip out to the Living Desert wildlife preserve as well. There are over 300 miles of trails in the Coachella Valley. Much to explore and see!❣
I had a co-worker back in 87 that had one of those in the light blue with white top, no t-tops. Always thought it was one of the coolest looking cars around at the time. Would love to find one now.
I’m on my fourth Pontiac. Started with a 73 Le Mans then a 78 Grand Prix 98 Grand Prix and I’m driving an 07 Grand Prix. I love my 3.8 no traction control and no ABS. Mash pedal and smile. Love the content Dalton. Good chemistry between both of you.
Man, this had such a old Roadkill vibe to it. I laughed the whole way through. Thanks bud for taking us along on the adventure. You Rock my friend. Just keep doing what your doing.
The grand prix came about In the early sixties to compete with the thunderbird. But I do remember when I was a kid that body style was extremely popular. It was a good-looking car. I think you guys should restore it or at least try to fix some of the severe body work. That is a special car.
Man the struggles this man goes through is definitely real and we should all be proud of him for doing this to provide us with fantastic content and entertainment
Dalton, I am Jealous! This brought back soooo many memories!! I am in my 60's but now 20's again in my heart... My B.I.L & I Owned the 68, 70, 72 (his) 74 & 79 (mine) And we LOVED Them. I really miss my 74 SJ & 79 LJ with the t-tops! Soo Much Fun. Thank You!
Glad you saved it from the derby death Dalton! That's a special pontiac, interested to see what u do with it. The rust on the roofline aside it seems like a solid ol poncho! You find some cool rides, your torino really turned out to be a cool car!!! Rock on 🤘 my dude!!! The dents on the hood and broken t tops look like hail damage possibly??
KEEP 'EM COMING!!! I love Pontiacs. I own a 70 Monte Carlo that 20 years ago I stuffed a 73 Pontiac 400 engine and 400 trans from a Catalina I bought back in 1986. I made it a GTO of sorts. Simple to do because the Grand Prix was the same car as the Monte.
Entertaining video: I acquired one very similar in mid-eighties with the low compression 350 2bbl Pontiac V8, Turbo 400 trans. and like 2.73 rear axle ratio. It didn't have much power, but it did sail down the interstate. I drove it to FL from NY and back, and never got more than 12 mpg, was the next to last year of the nice mid-sized GM body on frame. Wish I still had it as the old car guys are grabbing them up for the nostalgic factor, very cool rugged old ride.
OMG, I was watching your channel and seeing all the Pontiac, thought that 70s a-body would be right at home. Great cars, underappreciated. I can't wait to see more. I don't have one, but want one
Those are great looking cars for sure! It was just that era of engines/trannys that pretty much didnt last very long. Same as the TA and firebird. Might have been the heavy foot...you can rebiuld on it, but same thing will happen. Loved the wheels look.
An adventure in poor choices. Makes for great content! My dad bought a new 76 GP in late 75. That car ode down the road like we were floating on a cloud. If you don't keep it, I'm sure someone would love to give her a good home.
Dude, what a nice find! It really ain't that bad!! Pretty sure just regular maintenance, maybe a tank clean out, some new wires in various places, and you got a daily driver, just not when it's raining......probably! AWESOME Pontiac engineering!!
I had a 73 same color but white interior. Then a drunk scout for the cowboys hit me head on in a caddy. Swapped it in on a gmc high Sierra 2 tone blue. Urban cowboy times! Fun times. Ty for saving her, great video. Seems like it would not need much to be a good driver..
Oh man it's beautiful just like dad's Olds cutless Supreme black on black 350 rocket, the t tops are so sick. Dude you scored a nice dime right here the rust is minimal. Factory gold rallies 😮. Awesome
I had a '77 Grand Prix in highschool, bench seat, small block 301, and Cragars: 215's up front & 245's out back! I Loved that car, definitely found a few ditches with it back then, it was a fun car to drive!
Cody saved the day. I once put black pepper in a busted radiator and drove several 1000 miles with it. Didn't lose a drop of coolant. It set in the hole and completely sealed it.
I had a '76 SJ in high school in the late 80's. Back then, it was just an old car, but now, I'd love to have it back. I have never owned or driven another car that handled like that one. In the quarter mile, with 3.08 gears, a bicycle could outrun me, but once I hit 50 or 55, it was on! 100MPH was its favorite cruising speed. If he's still alive, there is a Kentucky State Trooper still looking for me. ;-)
Oh WoW, What A Find!! When We Were Coming Up In The Late 70’s, 80’s, Minus The T-Tops, My Had That Exact Car, Very Fast Car In It’s Day, She Use To Cook Those Back Tires Racing & Faking Folks Out, I Remember Those Big Heavy Doors.. Thanks Guys, I Enjoyed The Content Gents!!
I had a 1971 grand prix. It was real clean car. One thing I thought was awesome about the car was the outside door handles. The fuel gauge didn't work so I accidentally ran out of gas. Pulled as far as I could off the road but someone still managed to rear end it.
another copy cat
Another jealous moron
Which cat is he copying?

I mean he's doing a similar format to Junkyard Digs, but Dalton's style is entirely his own. Why even bother commenting this?

OMG, I was watching your channel and seeing all the Pontiac, thought that 70s a-body would be right at home. Great cars, underappreciated. I can't wait to see more. I don't have one, but want one
So glad you saved this beast, I had a 74 bought in Fla. with 455. one of the fastest stock cars I've ever had
I've always loved grand prix's especially the 69 and 70 models but I've never seen one with t tops until your video. That is so cool.
Those are great looking cars for sure! It was just that era of engines/trannys that pretty much didnt last very long. Same as the TA and firebird. Might have been the heavy foot...you can rebiuld on it, but same thing will happen. Loved the wheels look.
This video brings back memories of my childhood LOL. My father had a light blue 76 when I was a kid. I've always remembered that old car
I do so enjoy all the hiccups along the way because that’s what happens in real life when you attempt such an endeavor, much fun to watch
An adventure in poor choices. Makes for great content!
My dad bought a new 76 GP in late 75. That car ode down the road like we were floating on a cloud.
If you don't keep it, I'm sure someone would love to give her a good home.
With the way new cars are going, everyone should know how to get a beater running to avoid subscriptions to run an ac. These channels inspire.
Dude, what a nice find! It really ain't that bad!! Pretty sure just regular maintenance, maybe a tank clean out, some new wires in various places, and you got a daily driver, just not when it's raining......probably! AWESOME Pontiac engineering!!
I had a 73 same color but white interior. Then a drunk scout for the cowboys hit me head on in a caddy. Swapped it in on a gmc high Sierra 2 tone blue. Urban cowboy times! Fun times. Ty for saving her, great video. Seems like it would not need much to be a good driver..
Oh man it's beautiful just like dad's Olds cutless Supreme black on black 350 rocket, the t tops are so sick. Dude you scored a nice dime right here the rust is minimal. Factory gold rallies 😮. Awesome
I LOVE Pontiacs, I had a 78 LJ with a 301 tuffest car I have ever owned. Keep it dude.,I wish I had mine back!
Crazy adventure I would like to see it fixed up more
I had a '77 Grand Prix in highschool, bench seat, small block 301, and Cragars: 215's up front & 245's out back! I Loved that car, definitely found a few ditches with it back then, it was a fun car to drive!
What a trip down memory lane here. My sister had one of those back around 1980 or so and it was a beautiful car!!
Cody saved the day.
I once put black pepper in a busted radiator and drove several 1000 miles with it.
Didn't lose a drop of coolant. It set in the hole and completely sealed it.
I had a '76 SJ in high school in the late 80's. Back then, it was just an old car, but now, I'd love to have it back. I have never owned or driven another car that handled like that one. In the quarter mile, with 3.08 gears, a bicycle could outrun me, but once I hit 50 or 55, it was on! 100MPH was its favorite cruising speed. If he's still alive, there is a Kentucky State Trooper still looking for me. ;-)
There is something so charming about US land yachts. This one is a jewel, and def worthy of a light restoration.
It is a nice looking car…It was a nice Video.
you and your brother work well together.good to see bros close and working together
Oh WoW, What A Find!! When We Were Coming Up In The Late 70’s, 80’s, Minus The T-Tops, My Had That Exact Car, Very Fast Car In It’s Day, She Use To Cook Those Back Tires Racing & Faking Folks Out, I Remember Those Big Heavy Doors.. Thanks Guys, I Enjoyed The Content Gents!!
I love the 70's Pontiacs...
I had several..
My 84 Grand Prix was one of my fav's , but my 77 Grand Prix was one I should've kept..
I had a 1971 grand prix. It was real clean car. One thing I thought was awesome about the car was the outside door handles. The fuel gauge didn't work so I accidentally ran out of gas. Pulled as far as I could off the road but someone still managed to rear end it.
Amazing you drove it home! She's a keeper. I would fix her up even if it takes a long time -- lots of video content!!
Great video guys!! What a blast! Thank you!
