68 GTO convertible AC 4 speed posi in Pennsylvania at $9.6K NR. Now has a Chevy engine and needs work, but the original colors on this car would look amazing. Originally turquoise with a teal interior and white top. Not sure if the ROI is there to bring it back?

The last I talked to Jim Mattison about SSJ's, there were 174 72 SSJ's. That was a few years ago. There is likely a few more now. I called in a vin at the time and that one made 174.

Def an interesting '72 SSJ, believe have seen this car listed for sale before.

Two things make me question what am looking at:
-First, this SSJ does not have rally gauges, have had a bunch of SJ's, & rally gauges were part of that model...
-2nd, with the 455 Dport engine, the aircleaner should be a dual snorkel single heat riser.

Of course, gotta love the carlot seller's description. NOT a 455 HO round port engined car or engine.

Yes, quite the cream puff; 302, air, power everyting/trunk/top, chopped, channeled, lake pipes, continental kit - won a bunch of awards back in the day.

I'm embarrassed to say, we practically gave it away as my siblings were broke, paying storage, no insurance (because we technically couldn't "own" it) and three other cars to unload...

Guy drove here with no trailer so I asked him how is he going to get it home as it wasn't on the road for twenty years. "I'm going to drive it!"

And he did, all the way from Manitobia to Oregon, no plates, no insurance...crazy

Most SSJ's were built from Model J's. Not all SSJ's had 455's because of that. Options varied as you were typically ordering a J and adding the options you wanted before it was sent to Hurst.

Any idea what percentage of these were black? I didn't even know you could order it in black, as all I've seen in magazines are white and gold.

Thanks for confirming the SSJ was built off a base J (wondered about that possibility).
By 5th digit of VIN, car was optioned with a 455, & should have a dual snorkel aircleaner.
With the lid getting swapped out, the much more common 4bbl base must have been sourced as well.

No Idea what percentage were black, I'm sure a very low percentage. In 72, they made green, blue, black, white, silver, that I know of. I think maybe only 1 green and 1 Blue, 1 silver.

I'm sure Harvey (SSJ71) would know the numbers and his brother owns the green one.

So cool.

71 Trans AM in Missouri at $6.8K with reserve. Sure is ugly for a 71 CA car, so prolly make for a solid project depending on the reserve.

88 Pontiac MERA at $35K in Texas. Pretty strange that Pontiac allowed a Ferrari kit car to be made in a production run. This car has 120K miles, so it was driven. I like it.

The Mera is sold...must have taken an offer. Didn't realize these existed and echo what @thews said.

60 Pontiac Ventura at 5.4K BIN in CA. No interior and needs some rust repair and supposedly runs, but for a 1960 it's pretty good. These cars are iconic from the windshield to the tail panel.

69 Bonneville convertible at $30K BIN in Ohio. All original with 69K miles and a white top. Would look better with a set of wire hubcaps. She's a beaut Clark.

That is a beauty. Might belong in a museum if it's as original as it appears.

My aunt bought this exact car in the spring of 69, dark green, parchment interior & white top, beautiful. Except her car had air and a 428. For a big heavy car, that thing was ridiculously fast.

67 Firebird "yes". The ad doesn't say much, but does post a phone number. In NJ at $18K with a reserve and BIN of $21K. I'd need to see it to know what exactly it is.
