Nice car but yes, I would rather have it with a 421. 428 wasn't avalailable till '67/'68 if i remember correctly. Being a '62 it would make for a perfect SD/Swiss-cheeze clone. Still. That's alot of $$$$$.........

428, and the 400, and the 350 Ponchos all debuted in '67. Same basic crankcase and cylinder heads.
I may be wrong, but I don't think the 421 was even a factory option in the '62 full-sized Pontiacs, just an off-the-books, dealer-installed offering for drag racing and NASCAR.
Junior Johnson (R.I.P.), Joe Weatherly, and Freddie Lorenzen were notable Pontiac pilots that year, Mickey Thompson and Hayden Profitt were Tin Indian (forgive my political incorrectness) drivers on the NHRA circuit. That was when Delorean was building his creds, he was chief engineer, then, and took the division over a bit later.
Chebby was the only division with two different V8s, the others made do with a single design, in multiple displacements. *
* - wrong...Buick had the aluminum V8 from '62 onwards, that they later sold to the Brits and powered a couple of generations of Land Rovers. My mistake...

Wow! Sweet ride, 428 was added but still a Pontiac, would prefer the 421.
With exchange, taxes and shipping (or road trip) that is almost CA$72,000 in my driveway, c'mon 6/49.....
$35k US just over $44K cdn. So you figure $28K for taxes and shipping? Seems a little high? Love the car but way out of my price range. Whats it worth? $25K to $30K in your driveway if its as clean as it looks?
It's weird, on Craigslist in Atlanta, but the location shows as the north end of the Miami-Dade urban sprawl, in SE Florida. Somebody better snap it up, before it gets flooded in a hurricane!
