#s match, body off frame restoration. Interesting history. Same
owner since 1986, he had the restoration done in 1987 and has taken
exceptional care since. It was driven and shown around the country
at various Pontiac nationals, World of Wheels etc. In 2002 it was
the feature cover car on Pontiac Enthusiast magazine. It was used
in a few photo shoots. The fact it looks as good as it does today
says a lot about the quality of restoration.
EXTERIOR: The body is completely straight. I felt all along the
bottom of the doors, fenders, 1/4s and it's smooth, no bubbles. The
paint is polished to a smooth glossy finish. It has the typical
stress cracks that all convertibles get eventually near the top
corners of the trunk lid. Jambs are detailed, has slick paint,
bottom door lip is clean. The rubber bumper fits really well, only
has a few hairline cracks in the paint. The grills are detailed,
headlight bezels are rechromed, the high beams are still original
T-3 headlights. Has a hood tachometer. The chrome remote mirror,
door handles rear bumper are excellent. All the stainless trim is
polished and straight. Glass is excellent and fits real nice, the
windshield is new. The white convertible top is very nice, no rips
or tears. Has a glass window. Rally ll wheels are restored, has
correct lug nuts and center caps. BFG tires look new. Weatherstrips
were replaced and are still excellent.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is very well kept, unabused condition. The
door panels are mint. Not warped, window cranks, handles and
armrests are all excellent. The correct upholstery is all in
excellent condition. Headrests, seat backs are excellent. Carpets
look new, sill plates look new. The dash instrument area is very
nice shape, nothing's broken or beat up. Has factory in dash gauges
and clock. Stock Am radio, has stereo in glovebox. Center console
is real good. Interior lights work. Looking up the convertible
frame is neatly painted.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Has VIN number matched 400-350 horsepower
motor. The compartment is restored to factory specs. Engine has a
nice clean coat of the Pontiac aqua paint. Correct chromed valve
covers and air cleaner lid. The heat shield on the exhaust and
riser tube are hooked up, washer bottle and squirters are hooked
up. Correct hoses, clamps and the heater hose bracket is still
there. Firewall is clean, wiper motor and brake booster is
detailed. Front of the motor has nice clean brackets, alternator,
power steering pump. Has spring clamp battery cables.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Looks great. Clean metal with a durable coat of
spatter paint. Has correct mat, spare and jack. Bottom of the trunk
lid and jamb are painted nice. Weatherstrip and jacking decal look
new.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame for complete
restoration. The front end steering and suspension was rebuilt.
Bottom of the motor is clean, matching vin is on block behind
radiator hose. Has vin # matched Turbo 400 automatic. Has rebuilt
3.55 posi rear. This car also has the optional handling package
which includes front and rear sway bars and boxed control arms. The
bottom of this car still looks fresh. Exhaust, gas tank, shocks,
u-joints, starter are all clean. Floors are undercoated, chassis is
semi gloss black.
There are many beautiful muscle cars. This one is right. The car
fits, feels and functions great. It has proven itself by winning
awards, can be driven anywhere and has withstood the test of time
remarkably well. The next owner will be very satisfied!
