Vehicle Description
This is one of only 943 built. As documented on the warranty card,
this car was sold new by Moody Pontiac in Fort Lauderdale, FL, to
Richard Albury Jr. on August 30, 1974. Pontiac Historic Services
paperwork shows this car was ordered with many factory options,
including front and rear seatbelts with front shoulder belts, Soft
Ray glass, power windows, front and rear floor mats, roof drip
moldings, window sill and hood rear edge moldings, air
conditioning, front seat console, tilt steering wheel, GR70x15 WL
steel-belted radial tires, AM/FM stereo radio, hood decal, trim
group and lamp group. As photos document, this car was in very nice
original condition prior to the comprehensive rotisserie
restoration. During the restoration only minor bodywork was
required. The body is extremely straight, with excellent gap lines
throughout. The car was finished in its original color of Admiralty
Blue with show-quality paint; the result is gorgeous. The interior
is rich and beautiful. Everything in the interior has been restored
or replaced and is in working order, including the air
conditioning, radio and seatbelt buzzer light. The trunk
compartment is nice and neat. The engine compartment is highly
detailed throughout and is home to the factory-original
matching-numbers SD 455ci V8 engine, which was completely rebuilt.
During the restoration, headers were added to the engine for
improved performance and sound. The factory manifolds have been
detailed and are included. The Turbo automatic transmission and
12-bolt rear end were also completely rebuilt. The undercarriage is
also highly detailed throughout, including the red oxide floors.
This is an amazing looking, running and driving car. From the John
Staluppi Cars of Dreams Collection.
