Pontiac V8 1969-71 Grand Prix
Shares the A-Body Core — 1969-71 Grand Prix for Pontiac V8s
The 1969-71 Grand Prix moved onto the long-deck A-body platform, and that is good news when it comes time to cool one. It shares its radiator with the 1968-72 GTO, LeMans and Tempest rather than needing a big-car part, so the core is easy to find and easy to fit.
Butler stocks the Cold Case direct-fit aluminum radiator that carries this fitment, in the automatic transmission version with a built-in trans cooler, along with the Cold Case rubber insulators listed for 1969-77 Grand Prix.

More About 1969-71 Grand Prix
1. The radiator for this car
Cold Case lists the 1968-72 GTO, LeMans and Tempest radiator as also fitting the 1969-1971 Grand Prix, and it is the automatic-transmission version that carries that fitment.
| Dimensions | 33 inches wide, 18-6/16 inches overall height, 2-5/8 inches thick, with two rows of 1 inch tubes. |
| Transmission cooler | built in, which matters on a car this size with a Turbo automatic behind a 400 or 455. |
| Appearance | direct fit with the correct factory stamping and OE-style fittings, pressure tested, and nearly indistinguishable from an original once painted. |
2. Why the aluminum core is worth it here
The 1969-71 Grand Prix is a heavy, well-optioned car that usually came loaded, frequently with air conditioning, and it spends its life idling in exactly the conditions that expose a tired copper and brass radiator. A Cold Case 2-row typically outperforms an original 4-row core by roughly 10 to 15 percent while weighing far less, so you gain margin without adding nose weight.
3. Fans, insulators and the rest
Cold Case rubber radiator mounting insulators cover 1969-1977 Grand Prix, and two pair are needed per car. They keep the core from chafing and cracking against the support, and they are cheap insurance any time the radiator comes out. For airflow, Butler stocks Spal 12 and 14 inch puller fans, a Fast Monty dual 14 inch shroud kit built around the Cold Case A-body core, and the Cold Case thermostatic fan wiring kit with relay and fusing. All of it is listed under Fans, Shrouds and Accessories.
