    I want.....
    - The 400 V8
    - The moon roof
    - The Valencia cloth seats
    - The 8-track
    - Heck, I'll even take those wheel covers.

    Definitely stunning and I noticed the moon roof when I first saw the car and forgot to mention it. That is awesome. I did not even know they had this as an option on these cars.

    The colors, the interior styling, etc is all amazing. Those hubcaps really set a Pontiac off I think and they used these for years. I have some of these on my '73 Grand Ville sedan. They were not original to my car, but they were optional and it made my car look so much better I believe.

    I remember when I ordered my 84 Delta 88, the sun roof option was even more expensive than air conditioning, and that was $1,100. I think the sun roof was something like $1,400, on a car that retailed, including taxes, for $13,300!

    I do like sunroofs / moonroofs....

    Had T-tops on a 300ZX. Only had them off once.
    Had Moonroofs on the HHR, the Audi A6 Avant, the Mitsubishi Galant, and maybe a few more. Most of the time I drive with the glass closed but the interior panel slid back.

    Just noticed the power antenna switch. I thought power antenna was automatic on all GM models by '77. Glad this one has the switch to control - the automatic ones wear out early due the constant use.

    Hello Krash,

    Would you also like the factory gauge cluster?

    This Bonneville Brougham appears to have ALL factory options for 1977! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Yes! Missed that one. Mine doesn't have those, either.

    This is the extremely rare case where a craigslist car ad appears to worth every penny asked. The combination of rarity, originality and apparently all factory options for the year make this spectacular Bonneville Brougham a great deal! Wish it were closer to me! :) What a car! This beauty deserves to be preserved. (y)

    Based on the early 1970s Pontiac LeMans in the garage behind this awesome Bonneville Brougham, this seller is a Pontiac fan!

    Wonder what the bottom line is on the '77 Bonneville Brougham?

    I did some googling on the 1977 400 engine, 1978 was the last yr this engine was offered after a 20 yr run in all kinds of variations from a 2bbl Catalina engine to a Ram Air IV in the Trans Am. Even at the "low hp" point in the late 70's it had 325 ft lbs torque which coupled with the lighter body of this '77 downsized model ought to make it fine for luxo barging around town.

    I noticed the LeMans also, think its a '71 or maybe a '72. Wonder how its equipped and what it looks like? Pontiac had a "Luxury" series package on it sometime during that time frame which I suppose was the highest trim offering.

    I've got to give the seller props too for showing the most only using 4 pictures in the ad.

    I agree if this car was close to me I would be very tempted!

    As for the Lemans in the background, to me it looks like a 72 either a Regular Lemans or a base model T-37 by the grills, and I think I see a Chrome Lower Valance Panel that would make it a 72 Lemans,

    But hard to tell by from what little you can see.

    Mike, the top of the line LeMans was the Luxury LeMans. The 4 door was the only 4 door hardtop in the A-Body Pontiac line, and that is the only body style the 4 door came in. There was also the 2 door hard top. Both came with special interiors, special wheel covers and with the fender skirts that make them stand out from the crowd. I would truly LOVE one of them.
