LA to Vegas would still be a lot of fun in that baby, let alone back in the day. We had a 1968 Sedan Deville back then for Vegas... last year for stacked headlights.

Wow, Charley, were there any options they didn't get?

----That would be a strong Pontiac done, Charley! My old 64 Grand prix sold for $99,900 about a year and a half ago at a Mecum auction in California to give you an idea what these cars are capable of. Unfortunatly, it was long after I sold it for $50,000......Bill S

Love these cars!

I am at the moment trying to educate myself on the Toronado and Eldo's transmissions (chain drive?) and how they could handle so much torque (in some cases well over 500 ft-lbs, I think even more that what I thought was the king of the hill, 70 buick GSX!). That's got to be one hell of a chain!

dug out some pictures of the 300 G interior. It has power seats but the buckets are on a track that goes under the console and you move the driver's seat and thru a cable, the passenger seat does the
same. Rear is pictured with console also. the dash is lit up by transformer that causes the speedometer needle to glow and its reflected off the numbers which are porcelain. Carbs were restored by our own Eric
