Price might be a TAD optimistic.....as most asking prices are...

If it was in MY garage......it would get an EB master......and original style sub-frame mount bolts...

also...does the spare look "generic"?

My car has the same options plus Rear Seat Shoulder Belts and Electric Rear Defrost.....and yes, the Rear Cassette Deck.

The cassette player in your 71 spent about 20 years sitting on my shelf....in the original GM box....

I bought it as a back-up unit....for the one in my 72...

It got married to your car about 10 years ago...

This one has been on eBay several times with no takers. IIRC, the first starting price was up around $89-90K.

There was a BIN of 116K on it first time around. One of the fenders was a later style without the correct inner rail. Also a problem with the bottom of one of the doors. Not sure if either were fixed. Note no pic of the driverside fender in the jamb area....hmmm. The embellishment of the car with the Royal Pontiac (Royal Oaks MI) stickers on the core support & valve cover cracked me up first time around as the car came out of Royal Pontiac in CA.

ad reads like a typical scam with someone else's photos. Bad english and the car is located thousands of miles away from the seller. Call the number and I bet he says: "just paypal me the deposit and I'll ship it to you". "If you dont like it you dont have to pay..."

The ad seems legit to me as does the car. I think he may be an older fella, a bit out of touch with technology, and with few ebay transactions, a little under-skilled with his salesmanship. As far as his English, perhaps he's more French-Canadian than Canadian-French. Hope his French is better than his English, which could be the case. Car is supposedly tagged in US, although the plates say otherwise. Renald Blouin sounds French to me.

From the vintage, pre-repaint pics, it looks like the car may have never had a nose bird?

Super neat car and combo.

Please verify the scam statement before trying to ruin a great car...

That is what I would consider a great optioned original owner car. CC sandalwood deluxe killer, add factory 455 HO, spoiler, posi, gauges and cool history!

For sure that was one, but it's got a long list of other assets, too!

That's how I took his ad, too. And yes, it's very common with the folks of Quebec, especially the older ones, for English to be a very distant second language.

I guess I'm just a cynical old curmudgeon. :-)

If it is real, it is a beautiful car with great history.

He says in the ad it is "licensed in the US". The big problem is this: unless it is properly registered in the United States currently, and has a Florida registration (where he says it is located), the car will have to go back to Canada and then through the proper Customs procedures to legally acquire the paperwork to return to the US for registration. I went through all sorts of insanity with NJ DMV and Customs when I brought the black Formula back in 2012 from British Columbia.

[Norwood]

Stunning car, I would love to own it. A bit pricey for my bank account though. A bit of research shows me that the phone number belongs to Renald And Sylvia Blouin of Naples Fl. So I'm saying it's all legit.

[74 SD455 Formula]

I buy the one owner deal,but the survivor statement " NOT ". A repaint and an engine rebiuld is not the way it left the factory. I like the car , but the price seems a little high. JMO. It would look good at my house,but I just bought a new toy.......

[RamAir]

checks all the boxes, I like it alot

[The Boss]

Deserving of the dog pick.

[bird72]

Very nice car, it is a grand example of the breed.

[Bentwheelbob]

Love the car. Totally awesome. Hope he get's his price....

[Held for Ransom]

Did he keep the parts when he butchered the air cleaner assy? Or the other original parts that have been replaced? What would a realistic price be?

Mike, not sure about the missing parts. I never noticed the flapper doors and thermactors are missing, probably for its short stint in class racing. Too bad it wasn't ordered with the M-22 4 speed, then it would be worth more. I don't think 85k is realistic, maybe 50k at the most.
