Nice 4 door hardtop!

Like this way better than a ‘57 Chevy.

It's a nicely styled car, and 4-door hardtops aren't

often seen so nice.  Can Pontiac experts tell us

whether that upholstery is incorrect, as I think it is?

It doesn't look like the right style for the times.

This is not a bad 4 door Star Chief for 14 grand.  That air cleaner actually detracts from the engine area.  There's also a wrap on the steering wheel as these 57 Pontiac Wheels are expensive to recast.  In my opinion the upholstery looks correct however there are no real good photos of the seats. The spare time hold down bracket (GM later called them J-hooks) and jack base are not there. I am nit-picking only because I have 2 door hardtop.

That air cleaner is likely hiding the universal replacement “Edlebrock” carb…

14,000 miles? Perhaps…..but I hope he kept the original parts.  
 

Edit: ad says carb changed and exhaust modified.

 Hey seller with each modification and poor repair, your value of an “original” car is diminished.

I like this car a lot. Beautiful colors, nice looklng Paint and chrome. Some small incorrect items, but this hard top is a beauty.

This seems like a decent car for the price but I am always skeptical of such low mileage claims. I also believe the interior is correct but I don't know why you would take a picture showing the disconnected speedometer cable lying on the driver's floor. Those 1966 Pontiac spinner wheelcovers really look out of place.

I like it, but the dice and the skirts would have to go...

How else are you gonna keep the mileage low?

Damn, I hate those dice. I wish they were against the law. Hang fuzzy dice from your rear view and go to jail.

the ad now says.  From past experience, we know

that that doesn't always mean a car has been sold.
