It looks like it has all the proper clutch parts, and the proper 73-74 Shifter porch, I could not verify much though, very dark and I was only available from 2:00pm to 4:30pm, and the seller wasn't available until 4:15pm so I only had about 15 minutes to look over the car.
I wish I could have seen the Engine block code, but I suspect it is a put together engine, if the heads match the block it could be a 69 428? but all I could tell from my quick once over was it has a transfer lug so it is not a 389 or 400, and has #16 heads. If it does have a running 428 it would be a great price at $3000. And if it is a built 350 as I suspect it is not over priced at that number with all the hard to find parts on it, and the unrepainted body so you can actually see all the problem areas.
The seller said he bought it in as is condition from a friend of his about 5 years ago, and it drove to its present location in October of 2015. And by the way it started up cold I can believe that story. He definately did not get a chance to warm it up before as I arrived 30 minutes before he did so I was there when he opened up the barn. With the choke not hooked up it took about 30 seconds of cranking to fire it up, stalled once, immediately restarted and then would idle. Not bad for a cold un chocked Pontiac with a Holley double pumper on it.
