Paint looks too good to be a "survivor" though - https://www.ebay.com/itm/1962-PONTIA...kAAOSwtj5bQgqt

$50k+ and no interior pics. Plus it's not originally a tri power 4 speed car. Looks nice, but the price seems a bit ambitious. Wonder what it will actually sell for.

I agree. The more I look at it the less I see a "suvivor". I think someone is fishing.

Very nice car,my number would be 30-35 for it.Tom

I see 40-45. These car's don't get this nice cheaply. That trunk shot tells a lot. It's a beauty. Put the correct tires on enjoy!!

I am currently restoring a 62 Grand Prix and this is a steal at that price. Most of the little niggly things that you have to track down all over the USA seems to be there and like it was said things are expensive.

John,I think your right about what is worth but these days for really a made up car I just dont know if it will pull it.As I said,really nice car.I hope he finds a couple people that that think they REALLY have to have it!Something like the 859 that just sold a few days ago for $2025.Two guys that REALLY wanted to own one.Tom

It's a nice looking car but I'm thinking mid to upper 30's.

I think you are very close on that estimate. It's a nice car, but this survivor stuff is really getting a little old. That car has been thoroughly worked over from stem to stern. Nothing wrong with that, but get real. The engine compartment is way too clean and nice for that survivor stuff. Wrong air cleaner, wrong transmission, lots of little stuff. Still a very nice car for sure and if I was still looking, in the low/mid 30's I would have been a possible buyer. The car I bought is similar in many ways, Muncie trans but a 455. Built in Doraville, equivalent interior and trim. Less than 1/2 of what this guy is asking.

Just re-read the entire ad. May have been a little harsh in my above post. I see he has the original valve covers and big air cleaner. It does look really nice as I gave it a closer inspection. Also, it appears he used allot of nice quality parts in the build. I think the initial language of this "unrestored, barn find, original, untouched" stuff just is really wearing a little thin with me when it is obvious the car has had extensive work. The car stands on it's own without all that dumb language. I really like it and it may work itself into the 40-45K range if there are people actively looking for a really nice Cat.

Seems to me all original, numbers matching cars fetch the most money. While this car has a lot of originality to it, the fact that the 4 speed was swapped in (possibly the tri power too, it's hard to tell from the ad) has to hurt it some. Those options make it a more fun car to me, but certainly not $50k fun. There is no special pedigree to this specific car, it's merely a very clean example with some nice options (albeit added later). I see it actually selling for low to mid $30's
