1975 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ review from North America
"An enjoyable eye-catcher!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the tires, brakes, exhaust system, and the plugs and wires replaced when I bought the car, as well as the carb rebuilt because it had been sitting a while.
After I started using the car the only thing that I had to do was replace the radiator, not uncommon - it was 25 years old!
General comments?
I love this car, it rides great, it's very fast (for its size) and there aren't any cars out there that match the styling that it has. It is unique and I think that's missing in many of today's cars.
When something does go wrong, it can be expensive and hard to find, and it is expensive to run, I only get about 10-13 mpg in town. It does get about 17 on the highway though.
