I custom ordered my 1977 Grand Prix SJ with the Hurst Hatch option (T-Tops). In the tinted glass of the top, it had the Hurst emblem, and they were installed by Hurst Industries in Brighton Michigan. I drove that car for three years and loved it!
I was 18 in my girlfriend's parents had a new one in teal blue and third/quarter (?) white vinyl top. I had a 74 Z28 personally but that was such a nice Grand Prix. Very luxurious to me at my age at the time and for most cars that sporty with a mix of Elegance. 💥👍
Had the base 77 grand prix as company car. 301 V8, vinyl black bench seats, manual windows and seat, am radio, ordered the F40 suspension which was just HD shocks. It did have white wall tires and base hubcaps. Manual mirror driver's side. I remember turning the air cleaner lid upside down to have it sound cool. My alternative was the Catalina sedan. Lol
I had a 73 GP in 78 & a special order 83 in 83. GM need to do a special remake of these classics. Bring back a special GP, Eagle Trans Am and the GTO & I'm in.
Just yesterday I was thinking about all the great Pontiac's you guys have had this year and the variety, and I thought to meself the only Poncho's ya haven't had so far this year is a GP or a Catalina and here we are a beautiful '77 GP ( maybe not one of the faster years but definitely one of me favourites), now how about that Cat...hope you's get one in soon mate...
Thanks for watching Jason. We have had a lot of great Pontiacs over the years and this 77 GP is one of my favorites. It also just so happens that we have 1961 Pontiac Catalina Convertible with a factory Tri Power. We will have a video of that car in the coming weeks.
The 1973-1977 General Motors Colonnade coupes were already breathtakingly beautiful to begin with, but there is just SOMETHING about a Grand Prix or Monte Carlo from this generation that does things to me that would make me violate RUclips's Community Standards/Terms of Service if I were to post them here!!!!!
I'm pretty sure the one I got to drive when I was around 17 it had swivel seats that turn to the side to get out, it looked almost exactly like that one and I believe it was the same year
My stepfather had one that was the SG with the gold paint I love it to death pockets console I underrated the hell out of it I wish I could have had it. Had 301 model with the push button air conditioner that little blue button and the crazy gas milage like 25 to the gallon floor it, the slow s a snails Peter. Surprisingly it would do a hundred and still good gas mileage. I don't know who made the gear in the axle gear but it had to been the smallest that ever came out.
My late grandma had one like it back in the day and my first car was a 73 Grand prix with the 400. Tons of torque in those big block motors. Too bad this one wasn't priced so high. I know it's nice, but still an old car.
A lot more durable with the base/clear. Original paint was probably shot after just five years because of federal mandates to lacquer paints back then.
Original paint on a 77 was acrylic enamel, not lacquer. 77 was the first year GM went to enamel. However, even the old lacquer can last much longer than 5 years. I have a 75 Lemans Sport Coupe, still with its original lacquer paint and looking good. Depends on how it was cared for.
That is my Favorite year 77 Grand Prix SJ my brother hot one for Graduation 77 Grand Prix SJ Brown Tan velour seats Really Good Looking car the same T Tops added by dealer same situation bad decision Leaked entire time if it wasn't raining it was Great but raining coming to red light wet a Nice Car
These car were 5k forever,then about 20yrs ago that all changed. I like it but to me its worth no more than low 20s. That 400motor was not a selling pt. Poor hp & gas mileage.
That is better than a muscle car!! That's a luxury muscle car!!!

77 is my favorite year. I love that car. Good luck finding R12 for that AC
My uncle Jerry had one like this and it brings back fond memories of me cruising in it as a kid.
I remember when that was new. I was 28 years old. Thank you

I just got out of HS when this was new
I had an Orange 1977 GP. Really want to get another 😎

You made the right pick.
Absolutely. The Catalinas were plain Jane sedans. Black wall tires too
I had one exactly like this when in high school. 455. It was one heck of a ride. So wished I had it Back
My favorite GP of them all. Jeez that went quick, you didn't have that up on youtube long!
The last of the big one's
@@jimmiesmith5811 Exactly!
What a super car !!!! Excellent!!

1st guy, “Does the air work?” 2nd guy, “Yes” 1st guy, “The air blows ice cold” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
(typical salesmen)
Needs a vinyl top to be perfect
That car is gorgeous...
Beautiful car
Favorite car that you "had".

It kinda reminds me of the 74 pontiac lemans I use to have. Sure miss that car

Sharky🦈 Reply to walcoman. The car with swivel seats was a Monte Carlo in those years the Grand Prix did not have.
Black beauty
That's beautiful. Got great mileage too. Bout 8 hway 6mpg city lol

Had one with a 350-4V. Gutless really. The 400 was rated at 290 max. And you guys are funny. North Coast was an album by the Michael Stanley Band.

Hi it's nice car and beautiful color how much you want
Doors sound pretty creaky, that speedometer was pretty jumpy.
You should have at least spent some time under the hood and performed TLC on the hood apron.
.. i'll be calling you..💵
Beautiful time capsule car. $40,000 is absurd. Car cost is over-inflated. That like saying my 74 Monte is worth as much! Really?
40k?
These car were 5k forever,then about 20yrs ago that all changed. I like it but to me its worth no more than low 20s. That 400motor was not a selling pt. Poor hp & gas mileage.
16/18 mpg! LOL.
Hi I have the same type as the same model. The car is in perfect condition. If anyone interested pls. contact Me.
