Well that's a nice car with a standard interior and custom seat belts. What about that shaker decal and t handle. Not much else jumps at me. I like it, but I think the price is a lot of wishful thinking. We will see.

BRIGHT BLUE
the interior (seats & dash) look painted and the console & carpet original?..some weird BB two tone effect going on..and why do 1970 owners feel a need to put some sort of decal on the shaker

The MC should be black as well. Nice car but it comes off as way over restored to me. No way it brings 100k!

Someone's got the Gabriel Hi-Jackers pumped up a bit too much on this one.
 I think they also need to understand what "100% ORIGINAL" means. When I see "100% ORIGINAL" several times in an ad, I think it's an untouched survivor, not a car that's been completely restored. The master cylinder should be black, but that's a common mistake on restos, along with adding Ram Air stickers to a shaker and a Hurst T-handle. Nice car though!

Yep...High ride height, deluxe belts when the invoice shows it did not have them, Ram Air sticker on the shaker, T-Handle shifter, console dyed blue over the top of the rivets and brackets. I think it has too much clear coat on it, too. And I'm personally not a fan of all the part tag stickers stuck all over its mechanicals.
But overall, I'd still put it pretty high up on the list of nicely restored cars. I could fix most of the stuff on it that bothers me in a Saturday. Can't comment on the price. Whatever "the market" will bear. But not many of this quality (at least based on the pictures) are available for sale...

I don't remember ever seeing radio knobs with lettering on them before.
Console looks broken or something's wrong near the shifter hole aft side. Looks like a die cast car. I'd be to afraid to drive it. |

Since it's not "correct", I'll go do a few smoky burnouts with it. That would be a blast.

Well...
my son's FIL recently got $100k for a restored auto/air car. Wasn't really wanting to sell it. Guy came to buy a Vette and saw the T/A under the cover. The price was intended to scare him off. Nice resto but not perfect. Anyway...finding the right ass for the seat is always the deciding factor of what it's worth.

How do you trust a guy who tells you the interior is 100% original when you can clearly see everything is dyed the wrong color and lots of things are changed. I wouldn't pay 50 for that car. Your buying the eye candy on that one.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
