Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

389/318hp, Tri-Power, 4-speed, Hurst shifter, buckets, no console, 8-lug wheels, whitewalls, pushbutton radio remote outside mirror, power steering and brakes.

Condition

Correct intake and carbs but probably added to the 267hp 'AI' coded block. Decent repaint, touched up chip on top of the left front fender. Good major chrome, scuffed rear bumper and side trim. Orderly engine compartment but the chassis is unrestored and filthy.

Market commentary

With the Tri-Power 389, 4-speed and 8-lug wheels this is a desirable Pontiac even if its condition leaves a lot to be desired. It was sold by Mecum in Las Vegas in November for $27,500 then crossed the Kissimmee block three months ago where it was reported bid to $40,000. The consignor got the message here in Ft. Lauderdale and acceded to this post-block offer which still turned a tidy profit for five months' ownership.
