Vehicle Description

Current owners in Laws bought car brand new in 1974' from a Pontiac dealership in Massillon, Ohio. Since then have passed, and his son and wife continuing to baby this beauty. In the years 1974'- 1979' this car was driven in the Pro Football Hall Of Fame Festival Parade carrying special guests! The car is believed to be all original, and has no replacements except new tires in 2004, and rear outside bumper fillers as well as possible exhaust and minor items. The car is a very striking convertible that offers lots of room, but in a sporty Pontiac type package. One of the coolest parts about the cars is that is has been in the family since it was new! We have documents, copy of original window sticker, copy of it originally being prepped for delivery, and warranty booklet from when they bought it new.

Buyer are required- To do their own research to verify the researched codes above are correct.
Paint-
* The paint is very shiny, and matches great all the way around.
* Considering 42 years later the paint really is in outstanding condition, and as far as the owners know it is all original except paint on fillers.
* We do not notice any (through the paint) scratches in the paint or the finish.
* Owner bought from his father, and they believe there has never been any paint work with the exception of installing replacement plastic fillers around the rear bumper.(Which had to be painted when installed)
* In the fluorescent light you can very lightly see on the hood, and deck some light faint checking, and or crazing that is typical of an older lacquer.
* We noticed a couple light nicks on the front nose of the car, and front edge of the hood. Also some pin head size nicks between the headlights, and grill on both sides. (see pics)
* There are a few light nicks in the paint where the fender hood and right front door meet, rear taillights, and on the mirrors. (see Pics)
* There are a couple small edges that appear to be bushed touched on the trunk.
Body-
* The hood, and trunk area are very straight and correct, much as you would have expected them to be new.
* The fits of the doors, hood, and the trunk seem to be fairly uniform all the way around, and seems to have no obvious alignment issues. (See Pics)
* The right side appears very straight, and correct with a light dimple between the door handle and the mirror, and one on the right front fender right about in the middle halfway up. (See Pics)
* The left side has maybe a half dozen light dimples on the quarter, and maybe a half dozen other dimple around the door handle, and edge of front fender. These could possibly be removed, or lessened in most causes with paint less dent removal. In interviewing the owners they indicated that the car at one time did experience light hail to the left side, and dimples could be a result of that. They can only be seen on close inspection at an angle, but it does exist.
Magnets-
* In doing several random readings of the paint depth on all metal panels, we found the paint to be in the approximate range of 6-10 mils of depth, which would be very similar to what you would expect to be on a factory original paint.
* We did not see any areas that fluctuated greatly, or indicated some major type of repair.
* There is a slight deviation below the right side door handle. There very well could have been a factory, or dealer repair prior to the car being delivered to the first owner.
Interior-
* It is the owners belief that the interior is either all, or is certainly mostly original, and felt they would have known of any changes made.
* The sun visors have good strong backing, stitching, and are not broken down.
* Looking at the underside of the convertible top, the steel frame has nice paint and condition, and looks as if it could have been refurbished when top was replaced.
* The inside cloth headliner all has good bright color.
* The dash and the gauges show minimal wear, and look like they have had minimal exposure.
* The carpeting all looks to have the seams, and vinyl inserts that appear to be factory. We have no knowledge of it being replaced, or not being replaced.
* The black coloring is dark and rich, and has not faded at all. Owners explained their parents always had it completely covered with material and mats.
* The carpet on the bottom of the door panel also has good coloring, but front and rear edges may need reapplied adhesive to bring them back down flush against the panel.
* The beading around the driver, and passenger bottom part of the cushion is a brighter white, and may have been improved or repaired at some point.
* The vinyl is nice and supple, and doesn’t appear to have excessive sun damage.
* The center of the dash, just to the right of the radio, there is some deterioration of the vinyl covering. (See Pic)
* The white seat material itself seems to be undamaged and not split, and has fairly nice coloring. However the arm rest area, and rear outside edges do show a small amount of yellowing.
* What is fairly typical is the top of both doors (that the wood was simulated and the vinyl has good color) The portion around the window controls, down to the carpet we see some deterioration of the plastic and some yellowing.
Trunk-
* When we remove the matting and the spare, the floor is very solid without a trace of rust or water, and is very original.
* Trunk does include the original felt matting, wheel and spare tire, jack and jack stand, and lug wrench that are all fastened in as they where meant to be.
* The factory provided felt padding is always poor quality, and wears quickly, and could easily be replaced if desired.
Bright Work-
* Chrome is all original as believed by family.
* All the bright work and chrome surrounding the windows, and windshield is secure. It appears to all be in place, and shows the very lightest of wear.
* Bright work is free of damage with the exception of a small dimple on the molding, directly above the rear view mirror on the outside. (See Pics)
* The body side moldings, door edge guards, lower rocker, all appears mounted correctly. It shows minimal wear, and no damage, with the exception of the rocker piece directly in front of right rear tire which has a small crease in it. The owner indicated that prior to installing the new tires they had a blow out on the right rear, and felt that probably caused the light damage you see.
* The body side molding appears to be a non metallic material and has a small amount of finish coming off on the right front fender. (See Pics)
* The grill and front and rear bumpers are very shiny, and show minimal age. They have just some light wear, scratching, and pitting that is barely noticeable.
* The gray filler surrounding the rear license plate appears to be an original piece, in which the color is showing some wear.
Glass-
* The windshield and all four side windows all have the same LOF Safety Flow Lite emblem.
* The rear window has the PPG Solex emblem, and it may have been replaced years ago when top was replaced.
* The glass a
