[Held for Ransom]

Pre-owned (Pontiac used), registered (Oregon licensed) and sold with a discount to a dealer.

So, a zone car driven by a zone manager?

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Yes, something like that.
Someone higher up in the command chain.
Most of them were at or below 5500 retail , yours was 6177.

3 months or 3000 miles personal use.
The trim tag build date should predate the invoice by a fair margin.

There would have been another invoice prior to this one where it was billed to the zone.
But it's becoming rarer for PHS to have copies of the multiple invoices on a single car.

Congrats on a sweet SJ

I will check the time built code on the trim tag tomorrow. Thanks!

The 5500 number meant where most vested employees were capped on their cars.
The employee who initially ordered and drove this car must have been so deeply vested that they didn't even have a cap on their cars.

It was sold at Scholfield Brothers Pontiac in Wichita, Kansas.

At least in the late 60's & up into the 70's numerous Pontiac Zone employees had the ability to drive well loaded new models as demonstrators. Wasn't just the top managers. In the late Summer of '68, my Dad (worked for GMAC) special ordered our family's '69 Executive 428 6 pass wgn. Dad set it up so local zone 20 Pontiac rep (friend) drove the Executive wagon for 2 months. A great deal as this zone rep was in and out of Pontiac dealerships all over & could get any bugs worked out immediately. Previously, Dad had managed a similar deal with the same zone rep to drive what would my grandmother's '66 Ventura. Years later, when my parents moved N of OKC to Edmond, the Pontiac zone mgr & Pontiac zone distribution manager both lived in my folks neighborhood. Both zone execs drove new '81 Daytona Pacecars for a few months.

This is correct.

I was a company vehicle driver for about 20 years and I was just a worker bee, buying between one and four vehicles per year.

I think the best I ever did was 38% off on a Suburban taking into consideration the mileage (7500 miles) and past model year discounts.
