1977 Pontiac Grand Prix review from North America
"The perfect blend of luxury and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mechanically, I have had to do nothing other than routine maintenance. I have replaced the weatherstripping around the doors and trunk. But considering that the old ones held up for 25 years, I'm not complaining.
General comments?
The 1977 Grand Prix is an absolutely great car. The driver oriented interior fits like a glove. Everything is within easy reach and where you would expect it to be. The torque of the 403 V8 makes for quick acceleration and easy passing on the highway. All that, and I still average 20 miles per gallon highway/city combined. The 8 to 1 compression allows me to run regular unleaded, which makes the car economical to drive, especially when compared with other makes of the same vintage. I highly recommend the car and wouldn't hesitate to own another.
