While the GTO was no longer the money-making machine Pontiac hoped it'd be, the Grand Prix remained a hit. Sales went through the roof in 1973, as the GM brand shipped over 150K units to buyers in the states.
The increase was surprising, especially considering the 90K units produced during the previous model year.
However, the strong demand in the Grand Prix confirmed that customers still liked the two-door coupe, and the changes introduced in this model year, including the new grille and the updated trunk lid, made the new model easily distinguishable.
The standard engine on the Grand Prix was the 400 V8, but customers who wanted more power could order the optional 455.
The Grand Prix in these photos, which was purchased new in Euclid, Ohio, left the factory with a 400 block under the hood. The same engine is still in charge of putting the wheels in motion, and the folks at Napoli Classics, the garage in charge of finding a new owner for the car, claim all numbers still match. The engine is paired with an automatic transmission.
The engine starts, runs, and drives properly despite the Grand Prix never receiving a restoration. It's "an overall original shape" that's hard to find on 1973 Grand Prix, and the sellers explain that the buyer will also receive desirable documentation such as the original window sticker, the build sheet, the dealer invoice, the owner's manual, and the original sales brochure.
The photos speak for themselves, and you can easily tell the Grand Prix sports a fantastic condition. It won't need any repairs, with the garage explaining that they recently conducted the regular maintenance, added four new tires, and the Grand Prix is ready to hit the road.
The odometer is the next surprise on this gorgeous brown Grand Prix. The car has only 29,000 miles on the clock, and the seller promises this is the actual mileage. This proves the Grand Prix didn't spend much time on the road, explaining how its original condition was beautifully preserved throughout the years.
It was a highly optioned model, rolling off the assembly lines with factory air conditioning, power steering and power brakes, tinted glass, and an AM/FM radio.
The selling price makes sense for such a beautiful Grand Prix, especially because these Pontaics have become very desirable today if they come in unrestored and original shape. The garage will let the vehicle go for $29,000, and buyers can also get financing.
The car is in good shape, so it can drive anywhere on its wheel. However, given its low miles, you might want to take it home on a trailer. You can find it in Milford, Connecticut if you want to see it in person before committing to a purchase.
