No, that's a new one to me.

total production was 1750+ 2+2 units. I had a 4spd convert in the 90s. Most info pointed to about 350 or so converts. At that time the number of those w/4spd was 57. $1750 for 428 seems steep unless it's HO. But one would think they would say it was HO. Numbers matching would be important, so wanting to sell less engine seems to point to NOM.

Yep. Per the ad, it's a 69 vintage 428.

Man I'd drive that thing just like it is.

I would think the brick paver trunk floor would be a plus, but he doesn't even mention it.

1967 Pontiac 2+2 Convertible 4sp, 428, 342 Posi

Wonder how he knows "One of less than 10 left". Anyway, could be a real neat car.

Man that thing is a child abuse victim. Been slapped around a few times. Still a very odd car that is salvageable.

Maybe he drove the 50 states, and counted them all......

That car has been for sale on CL for at least a year. Why would you consider a stick shift 2+2 convert odd?

I recall seeing it discussed here previously. From what I can tell from the pictures it's certainly worth saving.
