This is an all-original 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix that still presents like a restoration. It is not. The paint, interior, engine compartment, and trunk are original and have been carefully maintained rather than rebuilt. You won't find another example anywhere like this car. The car runs and drives straight and true and like it looks.
Powertrain is the original 389 4-barrel V8 with automatic and a 3.23 rear axle. All numbers matching. The engine has never been disassembled. Rare factory 8-lug aluminum wheels. Original T3 headlights, original spare, and original Pontiac floor mats. The only item not original in the vehicle is the radiator which was replaced 3 years ago.
Mileage is just over 48,300 actual miles from new. Three-owner car. The car was originally delivered in Rhode Island and remained there until recently when it was brought to Connecticut by the third owner. The second owner kept it for nearly 40 years. The original window sticker is still with the car, along with the Ident-O-Plate, original owner's manual, and service booklet.
When we acquired the car it had three known-age issues: a cracked dash pad (common on original examples), and a slight leak in the rear main seal. The dash pad has been sent out for restoration and the rear main seal has been replaced. Everything else works, including the clock!
The Grand Prix has won multiple awards throughout the Northeast, including Best in Show, Best in Class and Best Unrestored. A trunk full of trophies are included It looks like a restored car because it has been stored, detailed, and cherished by the prior owners.
