Weren't the OE mufflers staggered?
Why did they pull the heads? |

For a 1200 mile vehicle why did the carbs need to be redichromated? One picture that carbs look worn and degraded. The other pictures look fresh but maybe too bright on the dichromate. Why did someone install a 1965 Tri-Power Linkage on the car? Tom V.

Hilarious!
Post 2 and 3 highlighted a number of issues with this ‘64. Block stamp 78XW = 389 / 325 HP / 4 Speed The list of issues is much longer on this 101,321 genuine mile car.

One picture shows a console, one picture shows no console. How many different cars are for sale?

The seller posted the window sticker but the photo is out of focus, that doesn't help either. The problem here is once you start asking important questions on obvious irregularities, the seller gets his back up and your chances of closing a deal just diminished.

This line from the ad clued me in:
"Im not interested in selling it to anyone that is going to drive it daily or use it as primary transportation."

Engine is missing the cover over the front of the bell housing also. Car just looks wrong for an original car.

"Never modified" So which is it? An original tri-power car with the wrong block from the factory or an original 4bbl car with an intake and carb swap? I'm betting on the latter. |

Also, why not just post the PHS? Kind of hard to tell but the jack doesn’t look right; the 64 jack used a “T” style rack. This is like the third time I’ve seen this vehicle listed for sale and eagle-eyed GTO guys always point out the inconsistencies in the pics versus what is listed. The listing then vanishes. |

Also - he seems to confuse PHS with the Ford Service that actually does certify cars. He says that PHS certified the miles and story which, of course, they don't.

Well, since it is all very likely a scam isn't that just as well?

The W stamping on the block is from a different set of punches than the other letters. Slightly larger font. Also the valve cover has been swapped from one side to the other in the pics. The fan shroud is from an A/C car. Our 64 which had the H/D cooling option but no A/C did not come with a shroud as I recall. I think the eagle eyed aces on this site have debunked this car on pics alone. Buyer beware.

This seems to be an exercise in deception in the hopes of grabbing the attention(and money) of a less than informed buyer.

The strange thing is the lack of even trying by the seller.

The seller obviously think all Pontiac Guys are stupid and do not pay attention to details.
He is wrong. Tom V. ps Thanks Keith for the original post.

Did anyone mention it has the wrong steering wheel as well, looks to be a 65 wheel.

Should I save the photos and the ad somewhere for posterity, or is it not even worth the effort?
