I saw a red one the same Donk style just now on the way home, broken down on the interstate with the rear of the driveshaft laying on the ground. Red with HUGE wheels.

As for the Donk - How is it even possible to mix in a Maybach interior in the ad for your '72 Grandville?

It's a '74, not a '72. Used car dealer in Detroit wouldn't be the original owner.

Good catch. I couldn't bear to look at it long enough to notice.

Even the video shows the misrepresented interior.
They couldn't even use a real person for the voice over. Staff incapable of speaking English?

Ha! "It is Family Friendly Yet It Can Be Made To Outhandle many so-called sports cars by most anyone with common sense and a Hotchkiss Catalog."

Outrunning those Subarus in the twisties in no time!

I like his "frame donor" suggestion. I don't know for sure, but I'd wager that car is a unibody. Makes swapping frames tough.

That car is a body on frame.

It can't very well be a caprice clone with a 307, the Caprices came with the 305.

Rich, a few of those Caprice wagons were produced with the Olds engine. I saw one come into the bodyshop where I worked back in the day.
Moot point though. That Cheviac will be destroyed in a demo derby before the end of the year.

About Us

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.
