    That’s a pretty stunning price to match.

    Yes, the price is outrageous, but, to me, this is an incredibly beautiful car!

    Beautiful car .... back in the day I had a lady customer bring one in for repair ... she had been visiting friends on a ranch and a horse decided to chew on her vinyl roof.

    Information nobody asked for ... but I told it anyway .... haaa

    Well it’s good to know that vinyl top nibbling Stallions are out there. How nice that he was discerning to graze on a Pontiac, and not merely a Chevrolet or Ford. That’s a funny story. Truth is wilder than fiction. Thanks for sharing!

    That goes along with the 1st Greyhound we adopted chewing on the leather headrests on my Mother inlaws Lincoln Mark 8 when he was left alone in it for about 5 minutes one time. That was an expensive side trip to the store my Wife and her mother took!

    Text seems to indicate this Canadian Pontiac has been in California a long time. It just hasn't been driven much. Kinda wondering WHICH V8 it has under the hood. Most likely, it's the venerable 307.....

    Also, you can make an OFFER on it if you want....

    Dealer is in Montclair, which is out toward San Bernardino, just west of Ontario International Airport, off the Interstate 10 freeway.

    Thank God you hadn’t borrowed the car to run errands. Your mother in law still wouldn’t be talking to you. Oh wait. Did that greyhound have any siblings? Just kidding.

    Krash,

    Both this picture and the VIN point towards a 305 SBC. Most Canadian Built Pontiac's of the era had SBC's made in the St Catherines plant. But not all of them.

    Interesting that this Canadian market car DID have A/C! I do not know when it became more common on a Canadian market car?

    That is an SBC. The oil fill is in an interesting place, though.

    It looks like really extraordinary condition. All of the exterior pieces you would expect to be spent or gone look like new.
