If youre a fan of the lateand#44; great Pontiacand#44; then we suggest you dig a little deeper into this example of an affordable luxury coupe. Offering full-sized comfort and rear-wheel-drive prowessand#44; this 1985 Pontiac Grand Prix was the top-of-the-line machine that continues to have timeless appeal. These cars practically defined the 80s with their long hood and short deck designand#44; and it has never gone out of style. Pontiac seemed to use the two-tone color better than the other GM divisionsand#44; and it looks great on the big coupe. It also helps that the factory-correct dark gray over light gray has been given a nice professional respray. Plusand#44; the padded roof almost gives this a cool tri-tone feeling. Up front theres a familiar split grilleand#44; which is a Pontiac tradition going back decadesand#44; and a touch of formality comes from the stand-up hood ornament and chrome bumpers. Out backand#44; the proper Grand Prix scriptand#44; nice taillightsand#44; and even well-preserved bumper fillers suggest that this car has led an easy life. And because this is GMs performance divisionand#44; an iconic set of American Racing Torq Thrust wheels have been added that nicely match this full silver package. The interior is the kind of plush environment that was a GM specialtyand#44; with a split bench seatand#44; gray velour upholsteryand#44; and every luxury feature they could come up with in the mid-80s. Its all very nicely maintainedand#44; with only modest signs of wear and ageand#44; which is rather remarkable given that the car has crossed the three-decade threshold. Amenities include power windowsand#44; power locksand#44; tilt steering columnand#44; power rear defrosterand#44; cruise controland#44; and provisions for air conditioning. The radio has even been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD stereoand#44; so you can listen to modern tunes while you comfortably cruise along. Pontiac put a full set of gauges into the dashand#44; and this complete package looks exceptionally unique as the vents continue the small round appearance started by the auxiliary readouts. Because this is full-size luxury for up to six peopleand#44; youll be happy to see the ample size of the trunk can carry everybodys luggage on the road trip. The engine is GMs indestructible 3.8-liter V6and#44; which is a happy torque factory that moves the Grand Prix with ease. Not as thirsty as the V8 examplesand#44; youll enjoy pulling around 25 MPG on the highway. Its nestled way back there in the engine bayand#44; but service access is still quite good. Everything looks nicely presented and well preserved (we even suspect this is the original motor.) Turn the key and it fires easily and idles smoothly – true signs of proper care and maintenance. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is a smooth runnerand#44; and recent investments in the exhaust keep this a truly nice experience. Add in power steering and front disc brakesand#44; and this classic Pontiac has all the ability of a daily driver too. Just as youve seen prices of the Monte Carlo growand#44; the rarer Grand Prix is on the riseand#44; too. So get a great example of nostalgia while its still at an affordable price. Call today!! |
