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.
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"...
...nice car when finished ......
......are we going to start that again?......
