Well,
I've got a '79 GP LJ with T-tops, no vinyltop, buckets seats (drivers powered)reclining pass.seat, console, A/C, safe t-track, powel windows, power trunk, power antenna, power locks, tilt, 301 2 bbl, 14" snowflakes, two tone gold over beige, and I got it with an original mileage of 87.000 kilometers (around 55.000 miles)
To add more history; this car was assembled in the GM plant in Biel, Switserland, Europe with a kilometer speedo. It has no rust at all which is rare in Europe. I was the second car from an older guy in Switserland who had it garaged all the time. I have about 10 different booklets with the car; emission control history, service history protectoplate etc. It has a few parking lot dings but for the rest it is a really nice car.
I paid a little more than what such a car usually goes for in Europe, but I like the originality, history and options (especially the T-tops).
It's totally different from the '68 GTO 4 speed I've got (engine-less at this time)
It's really a cruiser

I've lusted after a Pontiac A/G body with T-tops for many years (my first american car was a '79 Olds Cutlass Supreme without t-tops).
I love the '76/'77 ones but I've never come across one here in Europe that was in a decent shape only a few really abused cars.
So when I found this one on the net with all the desireable extra's and the mileage I went for it.

Erik
