I used to own a 69 SJ 428HO car. It had climate control a/c, and a power steering cooler line. The power steering cooler line is a long metal tube that lies on top of the core support. The 69 Firebirds had a similar option.

newer than this forum but still fairly rare. i have an 82 lj with the lear-siegler int pkg in gold. not many built with this as it was $$$$ compared to the std buckets.
also i have the remains of an early build 74 sj 455,3:23 posi, triple black, buckets, console, climate control, cruise,tilt, manual windows, rally2 car. mike

I used to own a triple Black '77 SJ with the 3.23 posi, tach and gauges, Rally II's, A/C, AM/FM 8-track, and manual windows. I was the 3rd owner, spoke to the original owner, he also ordered it with a trailer-tow package which included the lower gear ratio. I'll bet that '74 SJ455 would have been a runner.......Still have the rear end Mike, I'd like to find a posi with at least 3.08s. Daver
I almost bought an '82 with that interior 8-10 years ago. |

yes to both counts, the 74 was a strong runner and the diff is still here. i really don't want to part with it as i'm getting the itch to build the car again as it was the only one my dad and i built together. i've kept all the odd parts from it for close to 20yrs.
i may have one in a 74 grand am, it phs'd as a 3:23 posi. i've no clue if it's the correct diff under it yet. if i get a chance i'll jack it up and try to find a code on the housing. to be honest i'd rather move the whole car as a roller. i'm not going to build it anytime soon with 2 gto's,a gt-37 a bird vert and 3 g/p's on the list. is that your sunroof car listed in the auto/ rv with the pic from above? mike

Mike, yes, that is my '77 in the Auto & RV, I'm buying a 76 LJ that is too nice to pass up (I guess I'd agree with your quote..."so many Pontiacs, so little time", but for me it is "so little money"). I'd love to see any pics you have of both the '74s. I like G/As, but the 73-77 GPs are my favorite. Let me know what you would take for the rear end and/or the whole car. Dave

still have the body from an 81 g/p diesel. i killed the engine with a trip to fla against the govenor back in 91 or so.
installed a w-30 455 olds in it's place. the diesel cars will be more rust prone as the firewall is covered in insulation to kill the noise from the engine. mike

More Weird GP's
I think my Liberty Blue '69 SJ is pretty strangely optioned:
SJ Package (428 370HP, Light Group, Gauges, Auto Level Control) M-40 Auto 3.23 Saf-T-Track Black Leather interior Custom Seat Belts (stainless buckles) RH Vanity Mirror AM/FM Stereo It's strange in that it's an SJ, but no A/C, no PW, no PL, no Power Seat, no Tilt, etc. Also, I used to own a Silver '69 J that was a PMD company car for its first 6 months. The only options it had were: 428 370HP M-40 Auto 3.23 Saf-T-Track Vinyl Top Am/FM mono No power anything, no rear seat speakers (it had the plain cardboard package tray), no gauges, standard hubcaps. I wonder whose parts chaser that one was back in '69? Ken |

Power Steering Cooler
BTW, I used to own a Triple-Black '69 J with standard A/C that had the cooler line.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
