Wow, great find. Not my favorite style nose but the options sure will make it a great wagon. How's the rust issue? I see a few dings and dents but it doesn't look bad. Does it run at all? 3rd row seat?

Probably a bit out of reach for me, but I can always dream...

[jdh421]

Teej, The wagon has typical rust around the rear fixed windows, in spots of the floors and in the tire well. It doesnt run at this time (no carb for sure). The top end looks to have come from a 77 or newer 400. I should have more pictures in a couple of days. It has the 3rd row seat and the second row seat is split and you can fold down half at a time or the whole thing. I have never seen one like this. Also the bucket seats have fixed backs with no provisions for folding forward like a 2 door bucket would. We also have the protectoplate for the car. Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, Just wanted to say very rare and nice restorable car!

Lyn.

[jdh421]

Lyn, Thanks a bunch. If I had the room I would do the car. I am selling 2 of my own and am trying to help a friend out. THis 67 wagon has some very odd options and was special ordered 3 times before Pontiac finally accepted the order. The car has a great history and I would love to see some one do the car. Jeff

pretty daggone neat

[jdh421]

Baron,
You already have the missing piece to this wagon. You should buy it! Jeff

[baron_]

If you get around to take a picture of those bucket seats, that could be neat

I've never heard of that, either

special ordered 3 times? I normally wouldn't believe it...but in this case, I might

[jdh421]

The original owner wanted the 428H.O. but the factory kicked back the order ( no H.O in any wagons anymore) So he reordered as is and had to do that twice! Car was over $5800 new. Jeff

I believe it. My '67 wagon was almost $5k and all it had was the lo-po 400, AC, and the deluxe steering wheel. This is the car I wanted to turn it in to, but the hard-to-find parts killed it for me. Very nice though. Hopefully the rust isn't too bad.

That has to be 1 of 1.

I am not in the market, but as I love wagons and especialy the idea of a performance car and 4-speed I hope my comment is OK here. As rare as it is, those 67 front ends were not Pontiac's best effort.

Maybe a 67 Grand Prix front clip?

[jdh421]

Einstein, Positive comments are always welcome. Personal opinions regarding value are not. I agree with you that the 67 Front ends are a little odd. I would install a 67 GP nose as well If it was mine. Thanks, Jeff

Don't forget some 8 lugs with that gp nose. It makes you wonder about the the original owners idea behind ordering it just that way, (to the salesman) " well i'd like to haul the whole family on a vacation to disneyland then when i get back do a little bracket racing" reminds me of the two dudes that ordered 4 door 66' hemi belvederes.

ah the "odd" front ends is what makes it really stand out. (i guess its an aquired taste! HA!) i would keep it the way it is and get rid of the bonneville emblems ect... and replace them with 2+2 emblems all the way around!

anyway, nice car and good luck with your sale!

[65FATCAT]

Ahhhhhhh, disc brakes, missed that one, i don't deal with stuff that modern.

[REEDRACER]

I had a car just like the wagon. 4sp 428 AC, disc, buckets, headrest, reclining, pw,ps power antenna, roof rack and vinyl top, light package. My car was loaded, with paper invoices from the dealer on repairs. Was a neat car, sold it to a guy in S. Cal. I read somewhere they only built 29 4sp's. Mine was sold new in Seattle. Cool car, thought it was my old wagon, but close.

[backalley]

Yeah thats the one wagon I tried to buy from you,but guess I didn't have the right $$,there was another one that was just off the RED-Kirk rd sittin in a carport about 25 years ago,I think it was an auto though,just about same options too,they wouldn't sell,I think it went over around P Orchard,I remember yours was apart?,neat car

Funny you mention the four door Hemi cars. Both of those cars were in Wichita, Kansas in the 70's, and I knew their owners. They were actually Dodge Coronets, not Plymouth Belvideres.

The red one was ordered new by Floyd Cline, owner of Pappy Cline's Dyno. He was a regular at the local dragstrip with his 4-door 59 Chevy race car called "The Eradicator" (one of his employees drove the car). Floyd owned the car until his death. It was then sold and re-sold a few times. I last saw the car at the May 2007 Mecum auction in Belvidere, IL. It did not meet reserve.

The white one was purchased new in Alabama. The owner later relocated to Wichita.
A friend of mine heard about the car from an employee of a Wichita parts store where the original owner had gone to purchase an air filter. It was his regular driver at that time. My friend tracked down the owner and asked him to contact him when he was ready to sell the car. He got the call about a year later, I think about 1978. My friend rebuilt the original engine, (it had a lot of miles on it by then) and kept the car for a few years. He decided to sell the car in the early 80's, and advertised it in Hemmings. He was contacted by Don Garlits, who purchased the car for display in his museum in Ocala, FL. I visited the museum about 3 years ago, the car was still there. The sign by the car states that it was owned by an FBI agent, but that is not true. The original owner was just an ordinary guy.

There are rumors that there were four cars built, two more built for Canadian export, I am not sure.

This 67 wagon looks like a great car. I hope someone buys it and treats it right.
