Not sure where I saw it before, but I remember it.

Thought it was very nice. Like to see PHS for sure. If it's truly a Blue/ivory it's nicer to the value. Can't tell if it's comfort weave?

Is the conversion to 4 speed a bad thing?

It sits nice to me?

Seems to be priced right?

Looks high to me as well but those things are easy to fix. He says he's going to drive it. So the 4 sp makes it way more fun.

It should be with the Custom Interior, as there was no Standard Ivory available in 1971....could be just the photos but it almost* looks like the vinyl is lacking the pearl top coat which is correct for 1971 Ivory Morrokide...

Default Topnotch 71 TA...

This is a really neat car......interesting rare option (cassette deck).....and nicely restored...

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"?

Is it the same that was for sale a few years back?
Remember discussions about the Royal Pontiac stickers and what it really was, don't see any mention of it on the description.
Nice car indeed, not sure about the 89k or that starting bid.

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.

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...

Confess Keith! It's the Sandlewood interior that got you, isn't it?

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!

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.
