A '68 L36 2+2 Ragtop would surely be a low build but w/ the stick too...WW!.
Do you remember what color it was and if it had hideaways?.
I wonder if any of the same combo were ever built w/ the L72?.

It was triple black, and I think only the Grand Parisiennes had hidden headlights. And I don't believe any L72s were built in Canada ever.

Although the L36 was the top published option, there were some L72 Pontiac cars built..

Sorry for the thread hijack..

I feel as I should chime in here seeing as I posted this in the first place and it's starting to get a little out of hand. My intention for the post was to get a gauge on what the car was worth, not to bash it. I obviously really like the car, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting.

I'm not really sure why people took the "HO" comment and ran with it. I never, ever thought he was claiming it was an HO, and as I've already stated, I thought his intent of stating it was the opposite--to say it's definitely not an HO.

In any event, Don, I apologize if this has caused you any grief. It's an incredibly cool, rare car, and I hope you get for the car what you're asking. I merely posted to gauge the value of the car, as while a car may be rare, it doesn't always translate into high $. Overall, I think people are overreacting on all fronts.

In any event, good luck with the sale. It's a great car.

Everything is cool guys. I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew I wasnt trying to mislead anyone on any of my cars. Btw The impala is my buddy Dans car,Not mine. We will see what happens. It ends tonight and Im really overwelmed at the responce to it. Didnt think there was that many big car lovers out there.{Even thou its only 1 foot longer than my GTO LOL} A couple guys are coming over the weekend and I'll see what they offer. Anyway thanks for the publicity! If a big GP can make to a chevy Supercar website then I guess it must be a special car after all.

Don, I forwarded your ad to some of the "Darksiders" (those full-sized Pontiac freaks!), and that may have added to your positive responses. Hope it sells for what you desire....
