Not a bad looking car, The AGe Of Muscle, 1962-1978? Its funny how the GranDPrix has changed over the years, from this 400Bhp Dominator...to the 200Bhp Denominator...I would have loved to see a retro version of this car, its a shame about Pontiac, they were not the best...at anything, but the COULD make some good looking cars.

A super high performance version of 421 SD engine. It's not standard but it can be ordered for Pontiac Grand Prix, Bonneville and Catalina under special requirement and it's road legal. The engine code is 13-5 and only available with 4 speed manual heavy duty transmission and differential to handle that enormous torque. Production number is limited and like usual it's not recorded well but surely this is the fastest Pontiac in 1963 and great for drag race
