Does this 1975 Pontiac with a 455, 42k miles, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , amount for celebration? And why are all the classic boats I’m interested in green on green?

Deluxe.

4300 pesos ? Great price if it’s rust free - I’m looking at potato pix on an ipotato, so it’s hard to tell.

But the fact that the original dealer sticker still looks good on the trunk (and the interior looks great ) tells me it’s been cared for.

Green is a great color and was very popular in the 70s.

It’s in Nipawi n, so odds of there being some rust is 100%.

I hear you, and the combo of the dark color and terrible lighting make it hard to tell.  But the chrome seems to shine well, and I can’t actually find any tell tale signs of tin worm.

I owned a boat like that for 8 months. It was before I become an enthusiast, so no idea what model... But it was gold. Gold and chrome. I felt bad because at about half the gas stations near me, I’d end up blocking two pumps.

Parking—even in suburban settings—was a nightmare. Backing out of spots was a ten point affair. Maybe that car unconsciously led me to buy a Miata

Green on green is fucking awesome. Too bad they don’t do that anymore

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing. > CB 07/04/2019 at 17:05

“ And why are all the classic boats I’m interested in green on green?”

Because that’s the best color combo of the ‘70s, that’s why, although I wouldn't mind a little Burgundy...

That looks really well kept. Nipawin seems like a place a car might survive. Maybe worth the drive for a looky?

  This seems right up your alley, despite not having a 250/ 3 on the tree.

Potentially a very nice deal IMHO

Not quite sensible enough for me , probably has power windows too, but looks nice.

Not for me. I either need a truck or a bike at this point, as much as I would love a cruiser like this.

Looks like crank windows, but it has AC and I think power locks.

That 455 won’t be thrifty by anyone’s standards.
