1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 Coupe Concept History

1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833

The 1964 Pontiac Banshee was developed by John DeLorean.

You might be wondering why a website dedicated to being the “Ultimate Corvette Database” would care about the 1964 Pontiac Banshee? If you are asking yourself that question, please read on. Even if you aren’t, because you know that the Banshee was Pontiac’s answer to the Corvette, we still encourage you to read on anyway, because this story is one of those interesting tales of an ultra-rare, one-of-a-kind concept car that has found its way out of the hands of General Motors and into the world at large!

Lately, I’ve been writing a lot about Corvettes that we’ve found for sale on the internet. While it’s true that this Banshee happens to be for sale, we aren’t promoting this car with the thought that one of our readers would be interested in buying it (though it would be a spectacular buy if someone did snatch it up). Instead, we’re bringing you this story as one part history lesson and one part, well, just plain cool.
