Don:

I can't believe some people are picking at your GP because it's red. When did a real red car with black interior and a 4-Speed become an undesirable color combination? That's just crazy.

Anyway, it's a great car and good luck with the sale. For some reason, I don't think the fact that it's a red GP is going to hold it back. Just my $.02 Ed

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.

I am surprised by all of the key punching going on about the adds the Fluffery and color.What ever happened to hey Check that out Neat may not be my first choice but WOW its a 4 speed and has the biggest engine you could get ,neat options and No vinyl top , interior is to die for and the paperwork is bulletproof. Find another one, Pontiac fans might know somebody named Jim Matheson ,he had a silver one optioned close to this he had for years it sold for upper 30's not too long ago, its in Houston. No its not a Judge, Trans Am , or other neat pontiac but how many of You own one or drive your cars??? As for the Fluffery maybe the new adds should read its got a 396 it runs like a Pig and the lexus or SUV that you guys drive will blow its doors off. Whats wrong with letting some one know it does run better than a stock 325 car NOTHING . Thruth in Advertising goes all the way from the Whitehouse to the Tv and Internet Everything there must be the Whole truth and nothing but the truth !!!!
Get real, You guys thrive on finding Something to pick on to Fuel your soul Why ? Who knows but one I've seen that car and its a Nice car as is the Impala and Don's straight up about his cars.
Its Funny when one of the big Guys here list a car here in one of the forums nothing but Praise but God forbid one of the less know members does the same either you get NO replies or interest. I personally have listed several neat cars here priced fairly never got the time of day Sold them elsewhere for more money . I thought this website was about sharing interest , knowledge and taking the hobby to a better place Not Yea or Ney .
I think everyone should put their cards on the table whats in your Garage !!!! then well see who's pushing keys or the envelope.
Charlie I'm excluding You because I've been in your garage and a SUV would of out run the yellow 69 the day we took it for a ride !!!!

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.
