Very nice! What is the unit with the Black Brackets above the TVS switch? I don't think I've seen that before? Part of the A/C? What is the options list?

I have a friend up in Vancouver who had a 68 H.O. 400 4-speed with 33 options. But he had to sell... from what I understand it's being restored right by the new owner...

Brett - 67 Drop Top 455! Here's mine for kicks...

[Tellyshavilli]

This a 69 ta convertible that I dragged back from New Orleans in 1982 . Here it is in the garage in New Orleans , before we bolted it back together and loaded it on the trailer . The engine in the car is a 1973 SD 455 ZJ complete motor with long branch ra iv ex. manifolds on it . The next picture is a couple months later with the ra iii back in it and then took it to the POCI meet in Niagara Falls .

So is that a real 69 t/a convertible ?

[Transamric]

67 Drop Top,...that's a fairly uncommon option called Instant Aire Pump (yes, air spelled aire), codes V64 & 694. There is a canister pump & hose in the trunk that you can screw on to the top of the plastic piece. Start the engine, & it turns engine manifold vacuum into air pressure to inflate a low tire. The option never sold well & Pontiac dropped it in '70. But it's a great conversation piece at shows.
If I can remember all the 33 options, they are;
350HO, M40 A/T, AM radio, rear seat speaker,
Deluxe belts, Decor Group, Rally II's, console,
P.S., P.B., All tint glass, Power windows,
Custom Trim, A/C, F70 Whitewalls, Cordova Top,
Front & rear floor mats, Tilt steering, Clock,
Safeguard Speedometer, Electric deck lid release, Hood Tach,
Ride & Handling Pkg., rear window defogger, door edge guards,
right side & left side visor vanity mirrors, LH outside remote mirror,
Instant Aire Pump, lamp options hood & trunk, & Economy Axle ratio (blah!)

Those exhaust manifolds were a pretty darn rare bit of kit all by themselves....
