    Wow about says it all. What an optioned up Pontiac. That had to be about all the options you could get. Seems like leather is the only thing missing, but man what a car.

    It is highly optioned, I am confused about the wire wheels on it, and then they show a picture of 1 Snowflake rim & tire? No mention of tat rime and tire in the ad, makes me suspect it originally had the aluminum snowflake wheels on it, I think it would look better with those on it myself.

    They show the one snowflake and in the background you can see another tire, so maybe the snowflakes come with it. Personally I do not like the wire wheel look on these cars.

    No gauges or trip odometer or digital clock but it's got practically everything else. Seeing that Buick 350 in there sure looks out of place compared to the Pontiac and Chevy options for that year (no air inlet tube, etc). This car is probably the nicest example I've seen of these cars in years that wasn't priced to the stratosphere. I'm not saying he'll get it, but he's probably not out of line on his pricing. Only a '77-78 model with a 400 and these options would be worth more. I bought a '78 4 door Brougham with the 400 and it was the best riding car of that era I've ever had. I miss it!

    It really is curious with all those options, but not the factory gauge cluster.

    With $4,200 in options why wouldn’t you shoot the works. How much could that gauge cluster package have been? A couple of hundred maybe? Agree about the wire wheels and vogue tires. I think the snowflakes with a nice white wall would be just as snazzy. What would that car have stickered at? Probably you were into DeVille money at that point.
