1969 PONTIAC 2+2 BIG BLOCK CAR

Sure looks good in those colors. 

After going through the video, I notice there's some rust-through on the hood (so it'll probably need paint) and the interior needs help, plus the engine compartment needs a going over.

What is everybody's opinion on the value of this car in today's market, given the work that it will need?

i get surprised when i see one still with its motor , how it survived the 80s and 90s without someone retrieving it for a A body is just amazing

 I guess it never rolled through Morris Manitiba.....

$5000.00 is a real world  starting figure    buy no one wants to go there .....

One of the cars I refer to above recently sold for $4,700. It was a GP 427 2dr driver with original paint. I still feel that this car would bring a premium based on being a 2+2 as Earl has already stated.

Being realistic in today's market you need to know how much a fully restored or #1 original model of this car is worth. Let's say mid teens, based on Todd's car that was very nicely restored and didn't need, interior,paint, wheels, steering wheel, rust repair,chassis work or chrome replating. It was not a factory 396, nor a 2+2, so add $3500-5000 to it to be generous.
So top dollar, fully restored, I'll say $18-20 is probably on the high side but for the sake of argument call it at that.

As a good old driver with needs, $7500 is going to be tough to get.

Just my opinion, and I really like these cars, prefer a 70 but these are still a fav of mine.

 I had a hard time getting $5400 for Todd's car back when the market was good-ya not a 2+2 or big block but great body and chrome-I agree$7500 today is going to be tough to get-the party is over

I'm trying to remember, was the 69 396 in these cars a 2 barrel?  I know there were 2 versions of 427 available (335 & 390 hp), but was there only 1  396 engine option?

---

 Yes, the 396 that year was a regular fuel 2-barrel. The previous 396 325-horse was replaced with the 427 335-horse.

From decades of observations I can honestly say that any big block Canadian Pontiac has always been a rarity. I do remember seeing a 69 Parisienne with a 396 about 30  or so years ago.

 I haven't seen many big block Pontiacs in person - just my 69 427; a 69 2+2 with a 396 2bbl also here in my area; the 68 427 GP that was in PEI and that Mike now owns; and a 70 2+2 454 convt I saw in New Brunswick 2 years ago.
