After spending nearly three decades chasing down a 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix, one man is now ready to part ways with the classic muscle car.
The car – originally discovered back in 1996 – had been sitting idle in a garage since 1997.
After years of persistence, he finally managed to get his hands on it last July, and it’s now listed for sale on eBay, with the highest bid currently at $11,800.
The car has an interesting backstory, having been purchased new by a doctor in Ainsworth, Nebraska.

Pontiac Grand Prix up for sale
It served as his daily driver until 1972 when he slid off the road and damaged the driver’s quarter panel and fender.
The second owner, from whom the current seller acquired the car, performed repairs and has owned it ever since.
While the seller can’t verify the mileage, it’s claimed to have only 22,000 miles, though he believes the car has covered a long mileage of around 122,000.
This 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix is equipped with a 389 4-barrel engine, although it now boasts a tri-power setup.
The seller still has all the original parts if the buyer wishes to return the car to its factory configuration.
A good buy for any muscle car fan
The car features an automatic transmission, bucket seats, a power driver’s seat, air conditioning, and power windows.
Other luxury touches include cruise control, a power antenna, tilt wheel, 8-lug wheels, a rear speaker, rear window defrost, a power trunk release, and a Wonderbar radio.
It also comes with a Posi rear end and a solid, albeit repaired, body.
Talking about the body, it’s in good condition despite the repairs but shows signs of age, including a cracked dash pad, worn front seats, a shot rear package tray, and mouse holes in the headliner.
The brakes also need attention, but overall, this Grand Prix remains a solid classic and a good buy for any classic muscle car fan.
