Now that I look at it again I see it's a fastback...so you're right, it is a Bonneville (or Catalina/Ventura) with a GP nose.

The second one in as many weeks.

When I first opened the link, I thought that was the same car that has been on eBay multiple times in the last 6-8 years. Bimini Blue, white upholstry. Also seen in Hemmings.
That car was being sold out of the St Louis area, then Minnesota (or vice versa).
But I can't remember if it was a hatchback. Or if it was a column shift.
One thing I do know is, it was 350 Buick powered.

This CL seller doesn't specify 260 or 350, but in the right hand rundown, it says '6 cylinders'. I suppose the I-6 was the standard engine even on a SPRINT, but I have to wonder if that is an absent minded typo.

The six was standard in a Sprint. Here's the page from the 1975 factory brochure: http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/stati...re/image3.html

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
