The original buyer was definitely an active serviceman when the car was ordered.
Pontiac (at minimum - maybe all GM divisions) gave deep discounts to active servicemen in those days. And all those sales were done through the Overseas Dist Corp.
Check out the DEEP Discounts on base price and the options.
Exports being sold out of country also got price cuts, but much smaller discounts than that.
All had the side ball vents.
A/C would have another center vent above hvac controls.
He didn't order a posi, but it should be some pretty decent gearing with Sprint 4spd.
Cammer or someone probably knows what came standard with that.
Probably 3.23 or 3.55
Wild / Good luck on that title history search.
Page 1 was probably just a formality page that always gets thrown in.
If you tell the owner you already spent $65 just to find out how it was built, he might think you are willing to spend bigger for the car than what you actually have in mind.
IF he wants to sell it at all.
Good luck to you and hope you do get it. cheap/free
