A red over red convertible with a 400 motor, this car is part of
the ideal American dream! It was born and raised in California,
very solid metal. We acquired it from the previous owner of 10
years who didn't want to get rid of it, he said it was like losing
one of his children. He purchased it from the longtime owner that
completed the ground up restoration and tried to use as many
factory correct parts as possible. She is absolutely beautiful and
ready to hit the streets! EXTERIOR: This Solar red paint looks
totally awesome out in the sun! The extra bright red has been wet
sanded and polished to a highly reflective finish. Excellent body
is arrow straight and panels fit right. It has a scooped hood and
rear spoiler. The front and rear bumpers have been refinished and
have a great shine to them. The white convertible top which has
been replaced and looks great provides a nice contrast to the
bright red. The raised white lettering on the BF Goodrich radial TA
tires are mounted on Rally II rims that also have the correct
reproduction lug nuts.
INTERIOR: I've always been a fan of red interiors and this car is
no exception! This one looks stunning against the cherry red
exterior. The sun visors have been reupholstered; rear view mirror
appears original. The front bucket seats and rear bench seat have
both been reupholstered. The front and rear both have seat belts.
The door panels have been recovered but the window cranks, door
handles, door pulls, and logos appear to be originals and in great
condition. The kick panels have been repainted. The dash pad has
been replaced, the remainder of the dashboard appears to be
original and in fantastic condition. An aftermarket SunPro mini
tach digital oil and temp gauges has been added. The burled wood
grain center console with automatic shifter also appears original
but in remarkable condition. The carpeting was replaced some time
ago but still shows well. It has reproduction Pontiac rubber floor
mats. Overall, it looks and fits nicely, unabused.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is a clean and fresh looking 400
V8. A throttle body fuel injection system has been added for
additional reliability. Other than that, it looks stock: manifolds,
chrome air cleaner and valve covers, brackets, pulleys etc. It
features power steering and brakes. The wiper motor has been
replaced and the squirters are hooked up. The radiator and fan
shroud have also been replaced. All the hoses and wires have been
replaced and routed appropriately. Under the hood, the fender
wells, and the firewall have all neatly been painted satin black.
Very clean, tidy, and proper.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the lid is painted shiny and
matches the body. A reproduction sticker and weatherstrip were
replaced. It has been spatter painted with a factory style finish
and looks great. A correct mat, space saver spare tire and jack
assembly are included.
UNDERSIDE: This car has received a quality ground up restoration
and has been maintained as needed since then. All the steering
components appear in great condition and currently work
wonderfully. The hardware even looks fresh and clean. The front
suspension also looks like it was redone during restoration. The
coil over shocks were replaced as well as the ball joints. The
front has a sway bar and even the bushings and links look fresh.
The rear suspension looks very similar to the front with many new
or refurbished parts installed during the restoration. The front
has disc brakes and lines have been replaced. The rear drum brakes
have been neatly painted black. The emergency brake is hooked up.
The full dual exhaust system was replaced during restoration and
routed the way the factory did it, even the transverse style
muffler. The tailpipes exit just behind the rear wheels. The gas
tank has neatly been painted black. The fuel lines have been
replaced. Looking up at the motor everything appears to be neat and
fresh looking. It has been painted Pontiac blue and looks great.
There are no leaks visible. Same goes for the Turbo 400 automatic
transmission. Everything looks in order and fresh with no leaks
visible as well. The transmission mount has been replaced. The 10
bolt limited slip rear end is in great shape and has been nicely
painted black. All the floors look super clean, smooth, and solid.
They have been neatly painted satin black.

Most people say they don't want perfect because they want to drive
and enjoy the car. But then again, most get bothered by it not
being perfect. Well, this is the perfect compromise, it's truly a
clean car that looks and feels amazing. You can enjoy that wind in
your hair, sun shining down on you and still be proud of it. Sure
to get thumbs up and waves wherever you drive it!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
