Having all of the side stainless intact for that stretched body is a huge deal. That alone adds lots of value.

Modern powertrain, a/c, updated interior set up for 4 and their stuff.

ROADTRIP.

Hate they didn't show more of the interior. Probably a reason......

Wonder why it's missing so much glass. Scavenged for parts? Glass might have been some rare pieces used to complete another project with the same coachwork.

I would add a receiver hitch and suspension to the list. It would be a cool tow vehicle.

Its still a hearse though. And at some point you will leave you cell phone or something else in it and have to go out to it at night when your family is all asleep and get the hibby gibbys. Weird!

Do you think the hearse has that odd funeral home smell? Seriously that looks pretty damn good.

That was my thinking, tow hitch, Airstream trailer or Chris Craft boat.

That interior could be converted easily to a limo or wagon style and you would lose all of that hearse funk. Imagine pulling up to Lowes and loading the back with plywood...LOL!

Default Awesome Pontiac!

Really a COOL well preserved rare Pontiac.

I would love to see the "Original Hood Ornament" it came with.

That thing is awesome! I also wish they had opened that back door and snapped a picture but I can't imagine it's too horrible based on the rest of it.

I'd definitely drive that thing! Not sure it would fit in my garage though, my '58 wagon barely does now!

I would put a 4WD conversion under it, mild lift, 455, turbo 400, and have the coolest "truck" around. Option would be to make a pick up out of it, it is right size, cut off rear of roof & fab cab back & bed.
