C'mon Danny. Give the man his money. He preserved it for you.

[@Bossrich6287]

I agree I would at least offer the guy 5000 for it you know I think it's worth that

My Uncle Leon was a great car salesman. He always had a Gran Prix. I was always impressed with the dashboard and gauges with the airplane look.

[@robertcoram2026]

Just did all that for nothing

[@valeriepickens2533]

I had a 69, and Danny did the right thing by thinking twice on this. The parts are like trying to find a gold mine on the moon. 650 for just one door panel, and the fella I bought it from had that door panel in storage for seven years. After dying the leather and replacing the smaller pieces,..I had almost a thousand bucks in to one door panel. Beautiful car, lots of power and ride like a dream,...but I couldn't be happier that it's someone else's nightmare now.

[@villafuego]

I restored a '69 SJ 428 4 speed 25 years ago ...... even back then parts were impossible to source ...just the ashtray and license plate surround took me years to find.

[@vincentmotonya2859]

I was hoping he would take it ,that machine deserves to be loved by countz

[@peckerwood9383]

I own a '72 Pontiac Grand prix that I brought over from Hawaii. I love it!! Back when Pontiac made excitement!! It certainly does work extremely well!!

[@g.d.3279]

I'd rather watch Counting Cars than any rerun of GMG and I'm from Dallas. Danny seems like a stand up guy.

The value was in all original one owner. Buy 3-4k, put 5-10 in an all original rebuild and would get 18-20k for it.

I've been a Pontiac grand prix person since I was in pre school I've been wanting a 77 with a 400 Pontiac but i don't mind any year to be honest

[@bohemialite6371]

Take it😎😎😎😎

[@stingray427man]

Rare 2 door, 62 Grand Prix is my fav! 👍

[@mcmc8496]

stingray427man What kind of wheels does it have? The reason I ask is because I traded for a group of cars the other day and one of them was a grand prix of a similar vintage. I didn't even act like I was interested in it so as not to draw attention and up the price. I haven't done the research yet to determine what exactly it is, but the wheels mount similar to a mobile home, the first that I've seen in that configuration.

[@stingray427man]

Emil Lerp They came from the factory with 8 Lug wheels but can be re-fitted to traditional 5 Lug.

[@stingray427man]

Emil Lerp Hope the body is in good shape because no one really makes replacement panels, especially quarters.

[@mcmc8496]

stingray427man Thanks, that's good info. There is also a second one in the same lot purchased that I assumed was a year newer due to having a standard configuration hubs. Luckily both are in what I would almost consider pristine condition due to being stored their entire life under a carport. I am curious if the car is more valuable with the 8 lug setup or is interest minimal enough that conversion wouldn't be detrimental to value, but to be honest I am kind of attracted to oddity of the odd wheel configuration. Either way it would be fun to build a period correct Pontiac drag car, with a Nunzy Romano type engine build. I'll try to update you once I pick all of the cars up in a couple weeks and see what exactly I have...

[@87ferrarif40]

Any updates on these videos?

Y no deal rare car looking Kool?

[@c_firebirdgo8639]

What i found with my firebird is.. Its probably worth less than it is to fix it. So its best to find someone who'll love it as it is l. drive and enjoy it for what it is. And fix it up a little at a time.

[@arjunudiawar]

That man has Bentley in his garage

[@markbartlett1082]

I have a 1977pontiac grand prix all original

[@toecutter1015]

Kinda risky just walking up on a man's property like that. The gran prix is a great looking old full size car, not many around anymore

[@mickdavis2385]

It's TV. This was probably re-enacted. Don't believe everything you see.

[@SuperApplefan1]

hes got a bentley in that garage

[@devinmichaels6822]

Should go buy it, hard to find in that condition, not rare but hard to find in that condition. In Indiana 7000, not a bad price.I seen a boss 429 in garage an its still there as of today.

[@originalpunkSxE]

Body parts will be hard to come by, but drivetrain on all the old Pontiacs are virtually the same. The money would be in the body and interior work. But it looked like it was all there... could've been an easy flip.

[@danmidgette484]

Surely hard to find those cars. The money for that one is in the one owner original condition. I had a 72 black w white interior. One of those cars u wish u still had.
