I have a vague memory of this car being known on this site from years past.  Anybody recall the details?

Lots of $$$$$ for a Pontiac project. If it were an L78 Chevelle 4 speed maybe........Pontiac-Nope. $8500 tops. Sorry but just how the cookie crumbles.

One would have to get pretty deep into that car to restore it. If you have the space and the welding talent it would be feasible. Still for that money it better have a full set of the side moldings somewhere in the deal. L35 TH400 with 2.73:1 open diff, drum brakes, nothing special there, but a 728-series is special by birthright. When people refer to them as Pontiacs, I see "Pontiac" as a little bit of an insider joke and I take it as a queue to laugh or wink. wink

That car still has the proper P01 wheel covers. A little homely but I'd run them with reproduction redlines to make it stand out against the Butternut Yellow paint.

Thanks for jogging my memory, guys.  Yes, that's the one.  Too bad it couldn't come down in price to the point where somebody could reasonably buy it and give it the restoration it deserves.

As far as the 'Pontiac' aspect goes, I think by now most of us on this site know how those vehicles were marketed, so if somebody calls them a Pontiac it would be better to just let it slide.  Maybe somebody could come up with a good informative post that could be stickied (if one doesn't already exist - I didn't look), that people could refer to if it's important.  For me, I don't care what you call Beaumonts, just don't call them "Canadian Chevelles"... biggrin

 just not special enough  at a $16,000 starting point. Someone here said $8500 that may get it to someone willing to take it on and save it

I was thinking, you basically see cars like this in only 3 different conditions-

-Nice restoration

-Nice original

-Rough, need everything or so rough they aren't worth saving.

Seems like there's no such thing as just a tired old example that isn't rotted out.

Not any chance at all about ending up on the right side of that restoration IMO.
