1982 Pontiac Grand Prix Richard Petty Tribute Description
Ever want to be the most intimidating and interesting person at every stoplight? This 1982 Pontiac Grand Prix is a road-legal tribute built to celebrate Richard Petty's 200th win, and there is no better way to turn heads everywhere you go.
NASCAR fans need no introduction to this car. Petty's STP livery is iconic. They invested in a custom two-tone blue and fiery red, and of course, it need all the right numbers and sponsorship decals to have the right NASCAR look. It has a cool track-ready appearance, right down to the hood pins and racecar wheels. Plus, we bet you noticed a really cool upgrade. The rear end now has the aerodynamic treatment that Pontiac did to give this a wind-cheating fastback. The front end was even updated to this sleeker style, too. And while this one looks like it's off to the races, beneath the surface, there is a lot more usefulness than just a competition appearance.
The interior is done properly for The King. Custom bucket seat not only continue the STP colors, but also they have a high-back design with plenty of bolstering and wide headrests. So unlike a NASCAR stock car, you can spend all day in here and feel great. There's even an AM/FM/cassette stereo and provisions for R134a air conditioning (the blower currently needs servicing.) Of course, the padded racing steering wheel, Sun Pro auxiliary gauges, and B&M shifter are all part of this proper tribute's race-ready feeling.
You'll love lifting the hood to show off that this has a cool stock car look with the big shining air topper and inner fenders removed. This is a correct-style 305 cubic-inch V8 for this Pontiac. It inhales nicely with a four-barrel carburetor, and the headers feed a Flowmaster side exhaust to gives this one the kind of added growl you want in a cool tribute. But no matter how much racer attitude this has, it's still quite easy to enjoy thanks to nice driving features, like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front.
Just imagine what people will think when you pull up to stoplights next to them. This is the fun tribute with a cool look and a nice practical side. So if you like distinction at a value price, call today!
