(2) 1967 Grand Prix convertibles: Both Grand Prix are in need of a total restoration. The first Grand Prix is a non numbers matching car. It is red with a white interior. It has power windows and no a.c. It actually looked pretty good when it was parked a number of years ago when my son accidentally backed into the passenger door and dented it. At that point I lost interest. However I did acquire a new door but have not gotten around to installing it. And never will. The frame is solid. Grand Prix #2 is a number matching all original 428/ 4 speed / convertible. If you are a true Pontiac enthusiast, you know what a truly super rare find this is. Every body panel of this car is a rusty mess .However the frame is solid, and the body panels of car #1 are solid. Therefore, car number one would make an excellent donor car for car number 2. That was my plan, however after years of both cars lying dormant, I realize that maybe it is time to give someone else a chance. Maybe a body shop owner who has the resources to bring the restoration to completion. According to PHS, it has a 428 displacement with a 4 barrel. It also comes w/special equipment, 4 speed manual transmission. The code is WG. The original color is, Tyrol Blue w/ Blue interior. I had the nose and interior removed from car #2 in an attempt to initiate a restoration project, but didn't get very far. However, I am in possession of all parts removed. Remember, you are bidding on 2 1967 Grand Prix convertibles. Now ask yourself.... Should I take advantage of this rare opportunity. And if I don't, how long will my decision not to act, haunt me. I reserve the right to end this auction early because I have this listing listed in other publications. *These are the pictures of both vehicles, Blue and Red.On Jan-04-11 at 07:00:37 PST, seller added the following information: Pontiac Historic Service: Options & Accessories - radio, pushbutton - am fm & manual ant. * rear seat speaker*door edge guards*seat belts, custom front and rear*custom sports steering wheel*power steering power brakes- includes pedal trim package*glass- soft ray-all windows*ride & handling package-(springs shocks & stabilizer bar)*floor mats- front &rear*battery-heavy duty*8:55x14 white*safe-t-track rear axle*4 speed manual -fully synchronized*4barrell-428 cubic inch///Exterior Finish Tyrol Blue///Convertible Top - Blue////Interior - Blue//// 1967 Pontiac Engine Production /displacement 428/description Special Equipment/ Trans (M)/Carb 4 Bbl/Code (WG) / Quantity Built 824. There are believed to have been approximately (20) convertibles produced from the factory in 1967 with the 428 4 speed options. How many are still left today is anyone's guess. Does anyone no of any other examples? Even if you found 1 or 2, that would still classify this car as extremely rare. On Jan-06-11 at 14:29:48 PST, seller added the following information: Car #1 (red) looked like a decent driver up until the time my son backed into the passenger door (approximately 2005). However... now most of the paint is peeling and the interior has a light mold on the surface I'm sure it will clean up nicely. The interior did not have a lot of wear. There are no cracks in the dash last I checked. And the chrome still shines. At some point over the weekend I hope to go to the back and further check both vehicles out. Aside from the dent in the passenger door, there was no other damage on the body. I had not focused on the red car because my plan was to use it as a donor car for the much rarer blue car. I also have a couple sets of rear wheel well skirts. The blue car has an edelbrock intake and either holly or edelbrock carb attached. However, I purchased what I believe are the original intake and carb. Maybe someone could tell me what numbers should be stamped on each. On Jan-07-11 at 15:17:50 PST, seller added the following information: Just curious....since I've had the GP conv. w/428 4 speed, I had attempted to attain a firm production number for one with those options. If any Pontiac enthusiast have any information regarding what that number is, I would appreciate you sharing it with me. I also realize some of you may be reluctant to share that information for obvious reasons. Thank you. Also, I will check the intake and carb. #'s tomorrow (weather permitting). On Jan-10-11 at 18:23:46 PST, seller added the following information: Not certain if I mentioned this, however I am not accepting any out of country bidders. The only exception I may allow might be Canada. But you should contact me first. Also, bidders should have at least double digits (10+) in positive feedback's. And a word to the wise.... I am certain most of you realize that the majority of bids are won in the last few seconds. Which is how I won the blue car in the first place. I had to have it bad enough where I placed a bid of $10 grand, knowing I had a pretty good chance of knocking everyone else's bid out and winning the car for $8765.00 (I still have the original invoices). Up until those final seconds, it held steady at just over 3 grand, and I thought it would top out at 5. To this day I have never regretted my decision to purchase because I knew what I was getting, a rare piece of American Pontiac History. I will also inform you there has been over 4000 page views with almost 500 watchers. So I predict it will get quite hectic during those final seconds. but keep in mind what it is you will be getting.. a rare piece of American Pontiac History. I questioned as to whether any enthusiast knew of any other examples with the convertible/428/4speed options. No one has responded they knew of any. I know this is one of those vehicles that would command a pretty penny at the Mecom auction if restored properly.That being said... here is your opportunity to get in on the ground floor, so bid to own. When the recession has ended you will be glad you did. But please... you know your financial situation, so don't bite off more than you can chew. On Jan-10-11 at 18:47:59 PST, seller added the following information: There has been questions as to how long I would be willing to store the cars after the auction end. I would be willing to leave the cars where they are until March at the latest. That is providing the winning bidder had paid the balance of the winning bid within the 7 day time frame. On Jan-12-11 at 16:55:52 PST, seller added the following information: Hello All. Well here we are in the final 24 hours of a 10 day auction. I've had numerous request to make a "buy it now" amount or go offline to make a private deal. However... judging by the number of page visits (5000+) I think word traveled to Pontiac enthusiast everywhere of an auction for a truly rare example of full sized Pontiac muscle. This auction will go to the end as I indicated before. Now, although I had eliminated 1 bidder for being an out of country bidder (Italy) and having no prior feed back. I will not be able to eliminate bogus bidders in those final minutes. I have dealt with bogus bidders in the past and do not doubt that they are monitoring this auction as well. Time only knows what (if any) disruptions they will make. However...to minimize those disruptions, if you plan on bidding, bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay if you receive "another chance" offer. And if necessary, I will go down the line, and I may get to you. To those of you that wanted me to attach a buy it now amount, apply that amount you were willing to pay and let the chips fall where they may. I have no idea what these 2 cars are worth in their condition, in this economy, which is why I had no reserve attached and a starting bid of $200.00. I am satisfied with my page views and watchers, so you guys decide the value. Please, please, please bid within your means. Good luck!!
