    Hehe, I love when people try to say "small block Pontiac" or "big-block Pontiac" - There ain't no such thing as either! From the 326 to the 455, they are the same engine family!!! This is a slick and straight ride that looks to need little, other than paint. Screw the "patina" nonsense, this deserves a real paint job in the Pontiac equivalent to Chevy Marina Blue - what a gorgeous color that is!

    Where does 'patina' enter in this sale, it's not even mentioned by seller. Let alone the fact 'patina' is out the door because of rattle can primer spray paint?.

    needs TLC, yet a very nice wagon to boot. Also have to give credit for seller posting pics, and more than just a couple selective ones to then ad "email for more pics"

    I like this one. A lot better deal than that one a dealer wants $27.5k for.....

    Patrick - my ex-B-I-L bought a new '67 Ventura H.T. in that Marina Blue - beautiful color.......

    This one's a Bonneville, with the skirts, but you get the idea....

    This one occasionally gets parked across the street in a government building lot

    I'm sure it's the same guy who has a '67 Camaro and a "66 Dodge Coronet 4 door. All 3 are as cherry as the Pontiac and are parked in the same spot:

    Where is this car now located?

    This '69 was restored by my friend David Techtmann of Fox Point, Wisconsin, prior to his passing in 2008.

    Dave never did anything half-assed.

    Unfortunately, we rarely get to find out who purchases the wagons we post up here. All we do is put up a link to wagons we find for sale on E-Bay, Craig's List, Kijiji, or whatever. Occasionally, one of the SWF members gets interested in a posting, and we get new 'member of the family', but more often than not, we have no idea what happens to these wagons. Sometimes, they get purchased by speculators, so you might get two or three listings for the same wagon.

    Curious thing about this listing, though...
    The sale ad was from the Orange County, CA. Craig's List, yet the pics of the wagon seem to be taken abroad (possibly somewhere in Europe?), based on the license plates and the vehicles in the background.......
