    That's an awful lot of money for a 37 year old car that's not quite a collector item yet. You would have to find somebody that's just in love with these big Bonnevilles and can't do without it. In the open market, you're competing with a lot of newer cars that can be had for that money. I'm just throwing up this one as one example of the vehicles in that price range. There's thousands - Chevys, Cadillacs, BMW's and even Mercedes - all with miles under 100k and only 10 years or so old.

    STILL for sale?!

    Between this and the super sharp and loaded 1975 Pontiac Grand LeMans Safari station wagon also in FL, what is the deal?!

    I love them both. Why are they still for sale?! Too good to be true!!! :)

    "Is that power steering belt on upside-down?"

    No those are "Dayco Top Cog" belts. I have them on my 83 LeSabre with a 403 engine.:)

    Back again priced at $7000. I'm really tempted to make an offer this time. What do you guys think this beauty is really worth? I think this owner may have made a mistake in marketing only on craigslist all this time. I think it could generate a great deal of interest on eBay. This is a very rare and factory loaded Pontiac. The similar 1978 Bonneville Safari wagon with Valencia interior went higher and did not have the sunroof!

    Your thoughts are appreciated. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    since those are same pictures that have been posted in the past, and since seller doesn't say "always garaged - even as I've been trying to sell it", suggest ask for current pictures before submitting your fair offer

    ask for picture of perfect title, able to be transferred in manner you choose - "make sure it doesn't have white out on it"

    Good Hunting

    It's a really nice looking car. I had one that was the same option-wise except no sunroof or Valencia interior and it had a CB. Mine was a little more worn so I didn't pay anywhere near what this car is asking (I paid 1/25 of the price) and it was a great car to drive anywhere. I'd say that you'd have to REALLY want it to pay the price he's asking though. There's a lot of these '77-81 Bonnevilles and Catalinas popping up lately and the owners are asking pretty serious change for them, but they aren't moving. Should tell you something. It also means there's a pretty decent inventory of them to choose from in a range of prices.
