Even then there are different types of Bobcats. The “Holy Grails” would be the “press” cars. These are the cars that were prepped for magazine articles and were raced on Woodward and at tracks around the country. These were the cars with special paint schemes. Next may be cars that were prepared for special people like GM executives. Some of these cars may have had larger engines installed like 421’s and 428’s. Next in line would be cars that were purchased by customers and had a Bobcat package installed. Last would be people around the country who purchased the Bobcat kit and installed it themselves. Obviously some “Bobcated” cars are worth more than others, but they all need documentation from Royal Pontiac. I wonder which version this car for sale what built to be.
I think he put stickers on the C pillars and valve covers and called it a day.
