For $1,200, This 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix Is Bad-Ass
For $1,200, This 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix Is Bad-Ass-November 2024

The seller of today's Pontiac says it's for 'Bad-Asses only.' It's up to you to decide if this '70s coupe's price is bad-ass as well.

In light of multiple observations that, in Spanish, Pajero means a certain form of introspection - and a lot of hand lotion - yesterday's couldn't overcome its own right-handedness and went down in a 61% Crack Pipe loss. Sadly for its owner, not a happy ending.

Here in the U.S., Mitsubishi's star has dimmed of late. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Pajero…

Today's seller obviously doesn't give a damn about endings, happy or otherwise, as he states very clearly that this is for 'Bad-Asses only,' and makes it a point that Prius drivers, chardonnay-sippers, and dudes who want to talk about their feelings need not apply.

The ad shows the car whipping around in some gravel, throwing dust hither and yon which I guess is what bad-asses do. It also shows the car in its stationary form where, owing to its matte primer paint, it comes off looking like something that would be driven by the creepy uncle of the guy from Deathproof.

The ad notes that the paint is marred - I mean embellished with manliness - by dings and dents, and that the windshield is cracked from 'head banging too hard to Judas Priest.' If anyone is an expert on asses, bad or otherwise, it's Judas Priest lead singer, Rob Halford.

Also turning up the testosterone, this Grand Prix is said to be a V8 with dual exhausts, and has mismatched wheels front and rear because badasses don't care if the carpet don't match the drapes - or something like that. The tranny is an automatic as these things always were slushers, and the odo reads 62K, which ain't all that much if you consider the 'tude this Pontiac wears like a permanent scowl of contempt for those who don't live by the code of badassitry.

Nineteen seventy seven was the last year of the Reubenesque Grand Prix, and these cars tipped the scale at well over two tons. There were a few V8s offered that year, the 301 with 135-bhp, a 160-horse 350, and top of the heap, a 400-cid mill with 180 horses. California cars received different options, and even less power, due to their unique emissions standards. This one, by the way, has a grille from an earlier year so I don't know that it even is a '77, but who am I to question a bad-ass?

In fact, I think I'd rather put a question to all of you, as we're all good friends, right? That question is; do you think this bad-ass Pontiac is worth $1,200? That's the seller's asking, and he seems only interested in taking money if it has been won in a back alley game of dice, or is in fives and singles with the stripper's g-string still wadded up amongst the bills.

What's your take on this Grand Prix and its funny ad, is it all enough to move the metal for the seller's hoped-for price? Do you think anyone should pay $1,200 for this Bad-Ass?

You decide!

Portland OR, , or go if the ad disappears.

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...
