    Where are all the negative posts complaining about lack of options? This isn't optioned much if any better than a couple of other similar vintage full size Pontiacs that have been panned here.

    Yes. 301 no-option car (other than AC) in a color that's love-it-or-hate-it.

    It appeared multiple times on eBay in the last two years. The best it did was about $9800.

    Car did sell the last time it was on eBay
    Ended:
    Dec 04, 2017 , 8:35PM
    Winning bid: US $10,401.00 [ 37 bids ]
    $11,250 I think is a push. has to be some maint issues - with no miles to speak of after 40 years some components just die form old age

    It's a nice car, don't want to hate on it, but it's a low-option car with the weak motor, and agree the color is a love-or-hate. I congradulate the seller on the sale...that was more than I would have paid by quite a bit, and I love these cars.

    Nice Looking and reasonably Priced IMO, but other than the Gauges, Factory A/C & AM/FM Radio it is pretty Basically equipped. To bad it doesn't fit my Wife's Minimum requirements, No Woodgrain ( so no Grand Safari anyway) no blue or green paint or interior, A/C & Power Windows.

    No mention of what engine it has so I assume its a 301 Pontiac powering it.
