I once had a ‘69 Grand Prix. Mine was an SJ model and had the optional 428 engine, gauges, power driver seat and power windows. One mean machine, sweet memories.
I am proud owner of 71 GP , just got home in it ,have owned it since 85 and am one lucky guy. It's never been off the road except for winter months , 1 owner car just beautiful
This car brings back memories when I was 13 and one of my friends that live down the street his dad had just brought a brand new 69 Grand Prix SJ with the bigger motor and Rally wheels and my mom was in the market for a new car and I begged her to get a Grand Prix SJ and a few weeks later she came back from the dealer with a Grand Prix this exact same color but it was only a J model with the smaller 400 motor and hubcaps instead of Rally wheels and I had to listen to my friend say from time to time yeah but it's not a SJ 😢😢😢
My parents brought me the catalog when I was five and had me choose between green and purple. I had been out shopping for a new car with my dad and I remember a '68 Cougar on account of the flip-up headlights, but he went to the Pontiac lot without me, so it was a surprise when I first saw it in the carport when they brought me out to see it for the first time. We had traded in a blue 4-door Impala, so it seemed sleek and shiny and muscular by comparison, smaller but ready to pounce- I had never seen anything like it, as it led off the whole Monte Carlo/etc. body style that year. He was in the market for something to tow an Avion trailer up and down the US East coast, on account of mostly-since-croaked Yankee relatives and allergies that rendered motels uninhabitable sometimes. So he went for the 428 but gave not a hoot about the few extra hundred dollars to get an SJ beyond what he optioned, which he thought boiled down to different badges and the gauge cluster in-dash instead of idiot lights. Based on my experiences now owning a '69 J with a 400 and in the market for parts, it turns out there are a variety of other little things, like extra lights on the fender and bottoms of the doors etc... He wound up installing dangling gauges (next to the trailer-brake assist lever.. We also wound up with "Dumbo"-esque side mirrors that clamped under the hood on huge tripods when trailering) after it overheated in the Smoky Mountains- as they actually used a slightly smaller radiator vs the 400 in order to facilitate shoe-horning the big block in there, although I think there was a pinhole in one of the hoses as well. It had both parchment (white) seats and vinyl roof, black carpet/dash, with the green exterior I chose... The one I have now is black on black on black, over... purple (the original color) and is Canadian built, with pull-vents at your feet that work well in Puget Sound area, as opposed to Dad's with ac that actually didn't stick out very far from the dashboard in FLA when most needed, as I recall.
My dad bought a chocolate 69 with matching vinyl roof, and saddle interior. My dad purchased a new Pontiac each year and the chocolate 69 Grand Prix was my favorite. It was beautiful inside and out..
I know right? My wife n I see cars from our day and immediately start saying Plymouth-Mercury-Chevelle, name it. My son is 35 and laughs at our hotrod savant outbursts.
Beautiful Pontiac One recently sold here at Shannon Auction in Melbourne Australia but a 1970 version with a 400 centre console & right hand drive for $14K Aussie dollars I knew I should of bought it. Here in Australia they wouldn't know how rare these Hardtop's are, hope to visit your showroom one day when I come to visit your beautiful country Louis from Australia
My mom's boss had one of these at the time, a green one. It was indeed a sweet ride but it wasn't without it's problems (thank goodness for warranties) The bodystyle was a winner as it was in use (with the usual facelifts) thru 1977.
One of the prettiest cars that came from G M in 1969. The others were the Olds Toronado and Buick Riviera. But, when I laid my eyes on this Grand Prix, I was stunned. Yeah, I was only 13, and we had purchased a ‘68 LeMans a few months prior, so no way were my folks gonna be looking to buy, Oh well, I can still look and admire.
I grew up in the late 70s early 80s and in our household we had two Pontiac Grand Prix's a 71 model j but we had a 1970 model SJ 455 H.O 370 horsepower 500 foot pounds of torque ! automatic that was the favorite of the two and by far very very fast I still wish I had that car !
This body style was another one of John Delorean's ideas. He was inspired by the old Duesenberg designs, which is why you have the semi-boattail trunk, a matching semi-wedged hood, and that mile-long hood line. It's also why the different trim levels mimic the Duesenbergs: Model J, Model SJ. Delorean was a mad genius...too bad he overdid it with the DMC-12. This example looks stunning, even in that brown color. Wish I hit the PowerBall, I'd come take it home. :)
I had one this color with the 428, 4bbl Webber carb, Koni shocks, 3 speed auto “slapstick”, 390hp. Loved it. It rusted out and I sold it in 79 for a measly $300. Too bad...
Wow, my mom had one same color! Classy muscle car! I remember she asked my older brother to get her a car and when he came home with it it had craigers on it and the rear was lifted with air shocks . She wanted to kill him . But he took out the air shocks got some pmd spoke hubcaps put a vinyl roof on it and she was happy.
Back in 1977, my brother in law was looking for a car. Found him one near exactly like the Grand Prix, color and all for $800.00. 😂. I’m sure many of you remember the days when you could buy a car for 300 and up and drive it back and forth to work forever.
I had 2 of these in my lifetime-- would give aNYTHING to have them BACK... I couldn't park one now-- have had 5 eye surgeries and my depth perception is shot.. ha
It's a shame you did not play Brian Adams, Summer of 69, at the beginning of your presentation. Even a tiny bit of it. This car represents the Summer of the Moon Landing and Woodstock. The more I learn about both the more I understand them to be part of a very special slice out of time. Yes you are correct, this is a very special car, I would add that it represents the time that it came from. Cars remind us, they help us remember. Good job bringing it to our attention! Your presentations are always excellent.
I had a 69 Grand Prix in the 70s. I wish I still had it, I'd use it for daily use. They just don't make good looking classy cars anymore. I guess they make a couple good looking ones today, but you're gonna pay $ 60,000 +

From 69-72 the most underrated and most powerful performing off the assembly line cars ever built.

I always thought those were a perfect size! Not big and clunky but just right. Unusual to see one
without a vinyl roof.
I miss the days when you could look at a car and instantly identify it, today the cars look all the same to me.
amen
I know right? My wife n I see cars from our day and immediately start saying Plymouth-Mercury-Chevelle, name it. My son is 35 and laughs at our hotrod savant outbursts.
What do you mean? They all look like BOATS, BOXES?
I used to have a 61-58 -64-67-49-48-71-51-62-63. Original and in mint condition. Wish I still had them....
Me likewise.
Beautiful Pontiac

Louis from Australia

The entire car is immaculate shape its like new😊 i totally like this Pontiac 👍.
I had a 69 and 70.. loved them
Another great car. I remember a friend in high school barking the tires leaving the parking lot.
WOW :) My Granddad bought a Dark Green with lighter green top, SJ brad new, a very nice sweet car, good memories, I drove it a couple of time's. :)
I Passed on one 6 miles from me LOW Orig miles 428CID, HO car, $6,800.00!!
YES $6,800.00!!
A sexy beast, I've owned many GP's over the years but the '69 was always my favorite.
My first car was a 1970 maroon Grand Prix with a black vinyl top. My 2nd car was a 1969 gold Grand Prix... sure miss those days
My mom's boss had one of these at the time, a green one. It was indeed a sweet ride but it wasn't without it's problems (thank goodness for warranties) The bodystyle was a winner as it was in use (with the usual facelifts) thru 1977.
Beautiful, buckets and console 👌. Only missing power windows to make summer windows down cruising quick and easy 😃
Just the way I like it...with THM. And finding a pristine example poses a challenge!

You guys really do good work finding a man's car of their dreams I will keep working hard to do business with Vanguard motors just awesome .👍🏾
I had one that color but my interior was a cream white with leather and wool fabric.

Favorite car so far
Wow Pontiac still rocks.
Lucky guy with a real car indeed! man.
Love it. I use to have a 69 sj. Would love to have another one.
Wow, my mom had one same color! Classy muscle car! I remember she asked my older brother to get her a car and when he came home with it it had craigers on it and the rear was lifted with air shocks . She wanted to kill him . But he took out the air shocks got some pmd spoke hubcaps put a vinyl roof on it and she was happy.
Wow
I got an original 69 grand Prix sj 428 with a four speed
my heart is melting
the car is sharp and very clean
I love that White GrandPrix with the dark hood/roof/trunk VanGuard has. This one is badazz too. Pontiac nosers rule. Like a 71 GTO
That Prix is Sweet!!
GREAT looking Ride.
Thanks for the video
