Default 69 SJ 4 speed

I was on you tube a few days ago and came upon a bunch of new videos for a 69 SJ with 4 speed, AC and original paint.

What a neat car and seems to be in great shape. Anyone here know about it?

This is one of the videos but there are several related ones, posted about a week or so ago

Default '69 SJ

I am the proud new owner of the car. I purchased the car in mid July from the original owners who ordered it in April of 1969. The car was in a half hour south of Pittsburgh, Pa. It's a long story how I came to acquire this car so I'll give you the basics for now.
The car is expresso brown with a fawn vinyl top and gold vinyl interior. It's an SJ 370 horse with a four speed trans. All original except the battery and tires. The car has 13,800 original miles and has never been in the rain. It was put up on jack stands in 1989 in a climate controlled garage.
With the car I received the original title, dealer invoice, protecto plate and the original window sticker.
The 79 year old owner told me several times how he always regretted not getting the 390 horse engine because his wife insisted that they get air conditioning.
The car is truly a time capsule.

Ah yes... I actually flew into Michigan from CA to see this amazing car two weekends ago. It is a true time capsule and likely the best unrestored '69 4-speed GP you'll ever see. The original paint & trim on this car is in amazing condition as is the rest of the car. He was having issues posting photos earlier so I'll give it a try.

I'm confused who bought the car? Pontiac 23 or 428ho4speed?
