Two other ads are posted for this vehicle (Ebay and Hemmings). The Ebay ad specifically mentions "Hurst" (Hurst effect). IME, people who start "name dropping"(i.e., Hurst, Royal Pontiac, etc) are looking to profit of the ignorance of others.

I don't have the CL listing for it, but a guy on the station wagon page said this is for sale near him...



I actually kind of like the back half of it.
You can tell it's a Pontiac, check out the front marker light cutout.

Goatless, see if you can get a CL link from him. We gotta see what happened to the front of it.

Like you I like the rear end. Looks like a copy of the 2 Kammback Firebirds but with a spoiler added. Neat looking except for that front end.

I wonder if this is it on this Chinese or Japanese website. Sure looks the same.

There are some really good-looking wagons on that site, I didn't know there were that many different variations of them. Obviously there were several kit makers out there.

Default And again I whip out the BJ Goggles and...

I can really see the value here. It's the custom dash work that really pulls in the bucks on this one. It's worth every penny!

That van would be worth more if he had never changed anything.

I agree. He might get a $2k out of it if it were stock but this is quite the "custom" here. Yep... rolling art.

Family friends with homes in Sandpoint/Coeur d'Alene/Ponderay areas had a familial 2-tone Burgundy & White '53 Chebby 4-door called "Huckleberry" that was a fun vehicle to transport 4 to 6 adults and kids on various trips and actually picking Huckleberry's for some home made pie. That Chebby was a yr round native Idaho car and had various panel rust issues (bubbling) under the paint...so, wondering about this CL Poncho if same condition?

No matter, cool car as a 2-door...and I can't remember seeing that swatch of door chrome before, wonder what model that is?

All I know is I wouldn't pay $4k for it. There's a LOT of money that needs to be spent on that to make it "right".

Funniest if you read the description BEFORE looking at the pics.

It's an inline 6 "race ending" with a 2 bbl carb!
