I believe you are correct including the condition. I haven't actually seen it in years bit it was pretty rusty when I saw it on the road last. Still worth it though.
i Carl I wish I could but I am presently 600 kms away on a shift in northern Alberta with airtankers. If you want I could get my brother to look it over. He knows the car.
Actually what a neat car... is it really that rusty? It looks prairies rusty but east coast mint...
Quick geeky question... is the interior correct with white seats but red everything else? It looks good, but also a little strange as I would expect to see white side panels and seat back covers as well as the seat upholstery. But I'm not an interior expert so...

I agree with the east coast mint comment. I am in Ontario and most mid sixties cars didnt look this good twenty years ago. I have seen two tone interiors before, but the seat backs always matched the seat upholstery. I think that someone swapped out the red seats for white and switched the seat backs. I would have probably done something like that back in the day. That red upholstery almost gets as hot as the black, when I was a lot younger I got burnt jumping into a convertible wearing shorts.

I don't think I've ever seen that seat pattern in a Canadian Pontiac. Seems to me there is a GTO with that pattern maybe?

Yeah, even 30-40 years ago, in NS anyhow. By the early 1980s I was all hot and bothered to find a 1960s muscle car... or any 1960s car, and there just weren't that many left around here. There were a few old lady cars that had been well kept in garages and such, but it was near impossible to find a decent, non-rotten car from the era for cheap unless you got really lucky. By the end of the 1980s they started disappearing from driveways (used to get lucky looking in driveways for old cars that hadn't moved for awhile and knocking on doors - probably couldn't even do that nowadays without getting the cops called on you... lol). By the 1990s they were pretty much collector cars only, and a lot of them were starting to be brought here from the south and the west.
They just didn't stand up to the climate very well back then.

from the docs the interior is 571. I think that should be all red interior
