Pontiac Grand Prix Timeline

[at400andromada]

My dad had a 1987 as his first car :)

[partlow85]

62-87 :) 88+ :(

[HBlatz87]

Just picked up a '99 a couple days ago.... beats the hell out of the '98 Contour I had before it.

[Royalguard95]

the 1988 model... :O its just sad :(

[MrCokillo77]

i think the g body was the last cool grand prix. i have an 85 with the 305. i like to hop on the freeway on that mother fucka. that 62 looks hard also

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Has anyone ever owned a 1981-84 Grand Prix diesel coupe?

[GorgeousMom92]

Got a 93 lol my first car..love it though.

[MisterHellYeah]

87 to 88... Holy shit....The transformation is crazy.... Goes from old muscle car to an every day car...HOW?

[jayfon95]

@MisterHellYeah the 88 is uglier than hell hah

[commandomonkeyman]

I Love my 76'. Still runs like it should off the assembly line!

[tsw44]

my 91 still runs like a champ

[ThDavfac3]

I have an 08 Grand Prix and I wanna help my dad work on it because I want to have when I'm 16 and when I can drive

[DlcLotus]

I happen to like the Holden based models of Pontiac.

[ZestyLemonFool]

all cars got ugly in the 1990s

[bswizzle967]

These cars go hard as hell. My dad's got a '99 GT with 281,182 miles on it.

[Porsica102]

WOOT AT THE 2002 SPECIAL EDITION

[RADRONWHIT]

The 1975 car is not a Grand Prix, It's a Grand Am. Get it right

[XimbetterthanuXx]

1975 nice :)

[MrChevyman555]

after 1968 they got ugly

[evanmink1]

R.I.P Pontiac Olsmobile Saturn

Pontiac- 1925-2010 Terminated

Oldsmobile- 1897- 2004 Dissolved

Saturn- 1990- 2010 Terminated

some of my faorie car brands ny G.M.

[MrSonyDelight]

My dad owned off white and tan 81GP with the Olds 350 Diesel, not a good engine by any means. It barely lasted a year before it blew up. Only like 180 hp or something. He has a non-diesel Olds 350 block and heads and camshaft (in Van Meter Iowa, about 70-80 miles away from des moines where he now lives.)and that's about it he's really pissed he sold it. Really hard to find in Iowa.

[MrSonyDelight]

@simplywindy1 4,500 pounds of steel boat, yeah, great car. Personally, I like the 79-85 models.

[MrNdb10]

i don't agree with the time line i have a 1999 grand prix GTP and it looks nothing like the 1999 that you show

[tsw44]

@MrNdb10 i think the 99 in the slideshow is a SE so it looks different.

[egomez0725]

i got the 2002 model right now. i just don't like the color (bronze)

[IDrumWithoutPantsOn]

I have a black 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, but they over did it on trying to modernize the car in 2004 and made it unattractive. Maybe they should have just stuck to updating the interior instead.

[SkateborderX12]

Great video!And great song to go with it! i love it!

[ScarButta]

remember the days when my dad use to drive me to school in a 95 grand prix. man i started to hate GM after they ended pontiac

[SWAGGMITE]

@ScarButta i gt a 95 model rite nw

[thewindowsxp32]

yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss­sssssss

[MetalBob13]

Where's the 08?

[cadddy1871]

today i just baught a 1981 grand prix LJ with a t-top, clean body but the interior needs a little TLC but shes a nice car. and once that little V-6 gives out im droppin in a 4.9L V-8 from a trans am

[grafftodatrack]

@cadddy1871 i have a 79 sj with a 4.9 301 good motor but when you swap it you should put a 350 trans insted of that whimpy 200 if your gonna put performance parts in it

[cadddy1871]

@grafftodatrack planed on it, im also kicking around putting in a big block. if i do than i will go with the TH400 trans. but i do plan on switching them out as a pair

[grafftodatrack]

@cadddy1871 a big block nice but your gonna have to upgrade that suspension cuz its going to slam that front end

[tobian35]

pontiac acheived perfection in 1997 and then craped on the grand prix in 2004

[Simon5005]

The 1976 Grand Prix LJ is one of my all-time favorite cars............such a beauty! And yeah, the '75 was not a GP.

[bad65gp]

You've got a couple screw ups in the mix. What you have listed as a 68 is actually a 67. The 1975 you have shown is actually a GRAND AM. The 75 Grand Prix was Identical to a 74 short of having more grille bars and different tailights.

[paktype]

I had a '75 GP. They looked almost exactly like the '74's, other than a slightly modified grille and taillight lenses. But you could have found one, instead trying to pass a Grand Am off as a GP.

[Deathragous]

they sure screwed up a killer car.. in about 1973 they started looking like crap

[mmejia111899]

Mine looks exactly like the red 2000 model.

[Thtoneguy3]

I love my '99, glad the tail stretched back out! Keeping it original, no mods. But I dream of owning a mint condition '64........... maybe someday.

[TheLizardKing1967]

1975 is wrong. That's a black Grand Am, not a 75' Gran Prix. Sorry pal.

[LiLAL251]

my 1st car was 97

[tsw44]

my first car is a 91 GT

[Momarr218]

Tard not ALL the 86 were 2+2....

[Trevor10]

i drive an 05, 04+ are beautiful

[DaDeadMako]

I love the '86 aerocoupe!!!!! It is even more badass in real life!!!!

[Bzking23]

my dad has a 1962

[leroooh]

hey, whatt is this music?

[calvindavis007]

The 75 model is a Grand Am, not a Grand Prix.

[yambo59]

@calvindavis007 I saw that too -- definitely a grand am

[44kirk44]

Love the change from 96-97

[KOLAGILDA]

the 1972 ssj is the hottest car on here and to say the least the most valued car of the grand prix era only 60 made its rare and hard to find ,i own a 1972 j model and i'll never let her go!!!!!!!!!

[mrho4speed]

Nice video but the 69 pictured (my favorite year) is a 70 GP. The 69 had an all clear turn signal lense in front (no amber strip) and had script lettering behind the front wheel (not the rectangular plate) Also the 69 had a horizontal grill (not verticle) and had 5 verticle slats on the roof sail panel (not the "grand prix" script.)

[bubub56]

1987 and up wer ugly as shit fwd pices of shit i love pontiac but dam there wer some ugly cars made in the early 1990s

[ivans965]

excellent compilation

[pirateben09]

RIP Pontiac

[jumpbackharley]

Nice put together. Must have taken a lot of time. Have been a Pontiac fan as was my Grandfather and Father. So sad to see them go into the sunset. Have had a 1970 Catalina, a 1966 GTO convertibles (2 actually..the first one someone stole...the bastard! I hope you rot in hell). Also, a 1997 Grand Prix GTP and still have a 2002 GTP 40th Anniversary Edition 2 dr.

[dgreenland]

'62 is the greatest year. I had one with the high performance engine. It was pretty hot. Hoping on getting another one to restore.

[toddmiley]

2002 is the best one on hurr !

[44kirk44]

major change from 1996 to 1997 haha

[bigbodylex]

excellent video. not to sure about the song that goes with it but the video get 10 stars

[shaikhdishgan1]

for me last year of GP is 77,rest is rubish.

[GEARHEADGUY92]

^1988

[Canam7]

@GEARHEADGUY92

1988? Please seek some professional counseling.

[GEARHEADGUY92]

yea when the body style changed to plastic tard

[GEARHEADGUY92]

1998 ahhh fuck what the hell?

[cubantoro]

The '75 model was the last year the GP had round headlights, the 1986 model here is the rare "2+2" Aero-coupe. I used to own a '65 GP like the one pictured... the color was "Iris mist" as pictured here, but I used '67 model spinner hubcaps. :-) The '68 model was the last GP that shared sheetmetal / chassis with the Catalina model, and last to have hide-away headlamps.

[pigjamelectric]

Pontiac GP 1962-1987 RIP

[ShitFromShinolla]

Dude, your picture @ 1:19 of the 1975 Grand Prix is not a Pontiac Grand Prix it is a Pontiac Grand Am.

[raider123456789123]

I have a 86 prix! Boy the girls love my car!

[kanePower5000]

why is that the back of the car is deformed

[Iwasbored76]

no pontiac = american road machine.

[Origional79s]

Pontiacs are the biggest hunk of shit that ever hit the road !

[Origional79s]

Pontiac= poor old nigger thinks it's a Cadillac

[TheDylan222222]

@Origional79s ha i bet u got no money driven a gay little civic and gets mad that u cant get a pontiac so u put gay commits like this

[kiheisun]

The 1968 pic is actually a '67 and the 1975 pic is a Grand Am.

[ILovemyTaurus]

i fuckin love the 88-96 models

[Iwasbored76]

Grand prix has always been kind of a generic sleeper care for what ever decade it was made in. the 60s ones are in the shadow of an impala or a gto, the 80s are in the form of a montecarlo or buick riviata, and theyve always been kind of generic but with thier own flair. (proud owner of an 06)

[luckymars2]

my favorite car in the world my dad has a 71 grand prix

[ponchoman49]

The last real GP was made in 1987. The 1988-96 versions looked like generic FWD blandmobiles and the 1997-2008 versions were a step in the right direction but had there isues.

[chengloki]

ponch, beg to differ. The last real GP was the '69-'70 model. I had a '69. That baby was mistakenly delivered with a police engine, brand new. I admit, I was a bit wild back then. when I joined the Navy, I had a police escort to the airport. My GP was back home, in the garage. =Stefan=

[mr19932001]

@ponchoman49 I agree, '88-'96 were the worst. My parents had an 1980 and that thing ran until 1999 with an original engine and trans.

[codythekid03]

@mr19932001 so i drive a 89 original engine and trans and the cars 22 years old and hasnt given me any problems

[beertits4me]

The 02 anniversary edition is my favorite.

GM made a huge mistake axing one of their best engines ever, the 3.8 supercharged.

[chengloki]

beer, the best engine ever, was the 400. I had one. in my '69, GP, Mod-J. (Oh, my GP was delivered with a police package by mistake.) =Stefan=

[smokum0]

I have a '86 but not the 2+2 its a coupe awesome ride. And the stopped making grand prix in 87 after that they turned into disposable cars. Awesome video!!!

[Ihitaparkedcar]

My favorite the 94-96 grand prix GTP

[gringo4x4do]

After the 72 model year, the Grand Prix got UGLY and stayed that way !

[Poncho389]

My dads Boss had one in the 70"s. It may have been an Executive but I cant remember. I do remember it had hideaway headlights. Never see them anymore. (not even at shows) Good Video!

[Wagonmaster74]

1967 was the only year for the drop-top Grand Prix. The '75 you have pictured here is a Grand Am, not a Grand Prix.

Other than that, nice presentation!!

[gammyroman]

Everything was fine until the 2004 model..... Looks like a Grand Am on steroids.....

[jjpeterson1]

the 75 looked best

[JQUiK84]

i wanna see a grand national go up against a gtp 2002-2005

[MAFIX210]

Incredible video, im a proud 98 gtp ownder and its modded. Very proud to have this historical timeline to a classic vehicle.

[BigMarks52]

1997 Grand Am GT and a 1999 Grand Prix GTP

[ALMIGHTYIGZ]

Anyone out there have a 1996 pontiac grand am GT??????

[josh900098]

@ALMIGHTYIGZ yes

[ALMIGHTYIGZ]

selling???

[LoRah612]

Man the first 10-12 years of the FWD grand prix;s were not pretty to look at.

[russellboy1964]

Like the video. I wish you could have gotten the 1968 correct. I had a 1968 with a 428. Big car but what a ride.

[WC9456]

how could we help you fix your camera? go get a new one..

[Cheesey11yor23]

hate the looks  of the 93 sedan

[Hotboy1800]

This is GREAT!

[ORRfan13]

my dad had a 77 but i like the 69 too

[1969pontiac1]

I had a 77 LJ with 400 4 barrel, wish I kept it. The guy sold it too me for 2200, this was in 1999, 2 months later I had a offer of 5 grand, I needed the money, the inside was like new. The 8 track still worked. Windows and door locks were strong still. I think the 69 is my favorite. The 73=77 had a great dash.

[homerthompsonman]

0:44 - 1968 is not the correct picture. You have the 1967 pictured there.

The 1968 grill is bigger and heavier yet simpler. the GP grill is just like all the other 1968's it just has hide-away headlights.

Look up 1968 pontiac GP on Google images, and on wiki, as well as cardomain and ebay.

cheers

[codythekid03]

my dad had a 83 that was brown and my grandpa had a 79 haha and i have a 89

[sfauver36]

I like the 1969! I have a 1981 my self.

[sfauver36]

and holy crap the 1983 in this video looks just like mine! lol!

[codythekid03]

i got a red 89..the exact same one as in the pic and i love the car

[ORRfan13]

i think the 75 pic is of a grand am not a prix

[365degrees]

You are right

It is a Grand Am or a Grand Lemans

Also: 67 was the only year GP made a convertible. The 67 was showed for the 68 too

[bambikb81]

the pic was too new for it to be a 91 sorry. i had a 1991 Grand Prix that had the front end from the 89 pic.........

[shathorne]

Great video. If you could play it backwards from the 80's back, the cars would get better each year. I doubt Art Fitzpatrick ever bothered to paint a Pontiac newer than a '72. Just when Pontiac was getting cool again, GM killed the company. Bummer!

[1969pontiac1]

Great Video, my first car when I was 16 was a 1976 Grand LeMans. Pontiac has always been my favorite car. My dad helped with it, we had looked at Malibu's, Regals, Cutlass, we walked into the Pontiac showroom and I saw the white Grand LeMans with a firethorn landau top and interior with bucket seats. I knew this was the car. I shared that, because we had looked a so many others and when I saw this car,it outlooked everthing else I had looked at. Pontiac had the best looking GM cars.

[blood117]

I like the 1974 design

[jjpeterson1]

What happened in 88' LOL.

[thc3636]

Duuuuude whats the name of this song? its killer

[tenghz]

First off, the name shows up as an ad at the end of the video, and 2nd you'd probably have to be 8 years old not to know it... lol XD

[thc3636]

Yea man i was just kiddin. haha everybody knows it

[june061944]

your picture for the 1975 grand prix is actually a picture of first gen (73-75) grand am

[trip8703]

Nice video!!!

[rubroxato88]

The 1986 is awesome and the 2000 is the most beautiful!

[ksalbrecht88]

Drastic transition from 1987 & 1988.

Look like to completely different named cars.

[matboyd1]

a close firend of mine has a 1985 grand priix only 60,ooo km on it its spotless even has origianly rubber only thing changed is the batery

[Declipse16]

I have a 93 SE 2 door that i'm selling then i'm getting an 04 gt, I can't wait! I'm gonna miss my 93 though :/ it's a shame 2008 was the last year for the grand prix, and 2009 will be the last year for pontiac :'(

[adiosk8r91]

2010 is the last year, and GM is discontinuing Pontiac. Doesnt mean Pontiac can't come back

[Stunt0Rider]

THANK YOU, everyone always says why drop Pontiac blah blah blah, they dropped it instead of selling it so in a few years they can bring it back >:)

[adiosk8r91]

yeah I Pontiac will definately come back, they will probably just suspend the manufacter until GM can afford to bring them back in and the Pontiac will make their comeback, plus they'll have all that time to come up with great idea's for new cars, so LIVE ON PONTIAC!

[Declipse16]

REALLY?! That's great I didn't even know that, everyone's like pontiacs are gonna be classics because they're never gonna make them again, well shove it in their faces that they could come back! And probably will!

[adiosk8r91]

I love Pontiacs as well my first car was a 96' Grand Am SE although the transmission was crap the car was byfar amazing!! it looked good and handled great. but now we own a 05' Pontiac G6 GT =D we love it!!

[l0l0lol0l]

I have a 2000 GA GT wife has 2000 GA SE Good cars necer failed me yet.

[adiosk8r91]

yeah those are nice overall i loved the Grand Ams idc what anyone thinks they were very nice and realiable cars. It would be nice if they kept it around but the G6 took its place but i still love the G6 best Pontiac i ever owned

[l0l0lol0l]

Never had a G6 Just my GA and my Z71

[adiosk8r91]

Yeah if you ever look into buying a new Pontiac get the G6 its amazing, if you didnt know the G6 is pretty much the Grand Just with a new badge and shape to it.

[Declipse16]

Well i'm 16 and I have 2 cars, but the car I had first was my 93 grand prix SE, and I really do love that car. I also have an 88 IROC-Z. But i'm going to sell my 93 and get the 04 grand prix gt. I sure will miss it though. I really like the G8, I think they give stupid names to their cars now though haha, they should have just called the G8 the Grand Prix, it took it's place anyway

[adiosk8r91]

thats the thing with manufacters these days they are giving them a name like the G6, G3, G5, or G8 but other manufacters like Lexus, BMW, ect. do the same. idk why but i think its just harder to identify the car.

[perryman333]

I've always liked the '91's style. I find it's just really cool looking.

[CanadianGuy79]

at 3:39, thats my exact car! I love my Grand Prix!!

[SThoogie]

2003 was the first year for the last model not 2004

[BeefBurgers]

The 1975 picture isn't even a Grand Prix... What's up with that? 1:19 Looks like a Grand Am to me.

[BeefBurgers]

1970

[deathmetalferret]

the 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 aero coupe was the coolest model ever made.Richard Petty inspired NASCAR design.

it was Pontiacs version of the Monte Carlo SS.

[lobo669z]

the 1972 was the coolest Grand prix model and the monte carlo was made from the grand prix cause they made i to compet against them

[JJ2549]

to me i think from 78 to 87 was the best bodies

[Transinater]

1995 was the best year!!!! 1999 was THE WORST.. the new ones are pretty bad to...

[wildman00sax]

I have a 1999 Grand Prix GT and I love it!

[lobo669z]

my dad has a 72 Model Sj 454 Grand prix and it is bad ass

[treebranch69]

I have a 2005 GP GT, I LOVE IT!

[CJaguar265]

they don't build anything like they used

[CJaguar265]

my brother had a 1978, 1984 Grand Prix

my father had a 1984 Grand Prix as well

[raider123456789123]

i hav a 86

[gameratwork]

This Video disgusts me. As if GM would let Pontiac sell these ugly cars. They are Vulgar!!!

[ORRfan13]

what r u talking about??

[enjoiskater8473]

my dad had a 64, 69, 73, and 76

im kinda jealous of him

[bigheadfred]

The '75 picture is a Grand Am. Also, the '68 picture shown is actually another '67 in hardtop form. The '68 is featured in the beginning of "Goodfellas". By the way, my dad owned a '72 GP Model with a 400 c.i.d. V8 and automatic transmission for 13 years. Since the time it was new, he put 270,000 miles on it with the original drivetrain.

[matt8346]

youre a piece of shit

[ClassicTVMan81]

Carrie Fisher drives a 1977 Grand Prix in the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers."

[palmz4u]

The picture of the '75 is actually a Grand Am not a Grand Prix.

[sexysagi]

Pontiac only made the Grand Prix convertible for one year in 1967. There was no '68.
