Wish I would have gotten a picture of a 62 Pontiac Grand Prix at the cruise in Friday night. You could see paint, primer, and bare metal. It was beautiful!!
I like the old grand prixs, my dad had a few. I can still remember sitting in the driveway as a kid and pretending like I was driving them. I could never get them to go fast though.

Great start ! Look forward to seeing her shined up and back on road! This site has already saved me a ton of mistakes and cash. I think you could ask anything Mopar related and someone has been there done that. These guys are a wealth of knowledge.

Welcome aboard and nice car! As has been mentioned, any questions that you could possibly have can be answered here.
Looks like it is sitting quite low in the front, have the height adjusters been backed off or does it have torsion bar / crossmember issues? There are some repair parts available for the crossmember.
Keep us updated on your progress!

The left torsion bar is broken and will certainly be one of the first projects! Ordered new PST bars a few weeks ago!
Finally made some headway today. Started a mission on changing the torsion bars as one is snapped. It quickly turned into a bigger project! Ball joints, bushings, etc.... On order. Forward ends of the torsion bars are STUCK!
Nice. Consider yourself unique,now.
And part of the family here. Wealth of knowledge specifically here. Special place for sure.

That is exactly what I was doing this weekend. All new PST suspension and 1.03 torsion bars.. What a pain in the ash..... Now to take the hubs off the drums and installing new drums and studs... A lot of fun..
Did you have issues getting the bar to release from the lower control arm?
Is the clip at front or rear of torsion bar?
Nice to see progress!!
Nice to see progress!!
No it does not... Sometimes it is hard to get the torsion bar out... Two options... Get the Torsion bar removal tool (Summit) or removed the lower control arm and then the torsion bar should come out by wiggling it from control arm.. If you want you can do a Suspension Search (Above right). You can find tons of information about suspension issues... Guys are great here and they post a lot of information...
Matrick... Here is some info.... Hope it helps...

Hey if that torsion bars stuck in the control arm clamp something on it and beat the hell out of it and get it out of there it's broken anyways! If it was savable or usable of course you wouldn't want to scratch it but if it's just half of a torsion bar stuck in your control arm smack that puppy out of there!

Nice car. I got a 1967 273 formula s when I got out the Navy then had a 1968 383, both fastbacks. I really like the body style of the fast backs.
