----That Honeycomb appears to be actual aluminum, not rubber faced. I think that would definetly make it a prototype during the 1970 time period, wouldnt it?......Bill S </div></div>

not sure what year it was, but I took these at the Woodward Dream Cruise &quot;pre- Cruise&quot; night 3 years ago to the day:

I've actually seen this car in person, it was at the POCI/GTOAA co-vention in Dayton Ohio 2009. Its a very sharp looking GP! Its a '70 SJ 455 4-speed with black leather interior. Thanks for posting it!

Here's a few more photos of it from the co-vention...

The 2009 POCI/GTOAA Convention was the greatest Pontiac show there ever was, and a once in a lifetime event, with over 1000 Pontiacs registered. The only down side was that we had to return to Dayton a month AFTER the POCI/GTOAA for the Trans Am Nationals!

I'm going to try and divert this thread back to vintage pics only, so I'll start with a few Grand Prix's; 1969, 1970, and 1972. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I agree, that convention was the best... a Pontiac lover's dream! The assembly line photos are great too! The red car looks a lot like the one Charley &amp; I had...

The 1963 Grand Prix X-400 show car. Pontiac built several X-400 cars over the previous years, the 1963 version had a fiberglass hood with dual hood scoops, which have a strange resemblance to the scoops used on the 1970 Buick GS years later. The engine was a supercharged 421, using a 4-71 blower, and 4 Corvette side-draft carbs. The exhaust system was built to allow the driver to control the exhaust gasses, with a 3-position bypass lever that allowed closed, partially open, and fully open exhaust. The exhaust pipes exited at the rocker panel in front of the rear wheelwells.

That '63 Gran Prix was sweet.

Anyone have pics of some '64 GTO's?

Those '65's are very nice, but the '64's have an understated mean look to them as well.
