    That can't be right! Can it?? Dang! Wish I were there ... it would be gone in 60 seconds! Probably will be anyway if the price is correct.

    Wow that's cheap. Too bad I've already bought over my quota of wagons this month.

    I agree, silverfox. If it were not on the other side of the country, I'd snap up this Pontiac in a flash!

    Are my eyes deceiving me, or does this one have the gauge package in it? Certainly looks like the seller omitted the 1, or even the 2, from the front of the asking price. Unless there is something wrong mechanically, this one is a steal. I only hope a wagon lover, not a derby lover, gets their hands on this one!

    The thing is the gauges fit in the same holes in the dash cover as the idiot lights. On my screen, and with my eyes, I can't tell if I am seeing the gauges or just the lights. I was hoping someone with a better screen and/or better eyes could take a look at the dash picture and say for sure. I know one of the squares is the fuel gauge, either way, but the others are not clear enough for me to tell. If this one does have the gauges, then it is a fairly rare beast. The other option would be for Marshall to buy it, swap the gauge cluster, since he does want the gauges for his 81, and then sell the 79 on to someone else, and thus protect it from the derby crowd.

    To me it looks Like Gauges and AM/FM Stereo Radio.

    I like it.

    It's gone now......
    When I looked at the pics, it did look like it had the gauges. Couldn't tell for sure, though.

    I could. It had gauges.
    Well...I knew that one wouldn't last! Wish it was mine now!
