My dad basically got every option he could on it except the 455. He had to use it for work and he drove all over the Northwest. He was a tie & timber inspector for the Union Pacific Railroad. This was the last car he bought for work. After this, he got "company" cars. This was the last of his 4 brand new Pontiacs for work. '65 GTO, '67 Firebird H.O., '69 Custom 'S', and the Lemans GT. He had the stripe painted on after it started coming off.
I loved this car and tried to buy it from him when I was 17. They wouldn't let me. This thing would cook the tires in all four gears.

Here's a picture of me when I was around 10 in front of our '69 Custom 'S'.
