IF YOU PLAN ON BIDDING PLEASE DO SO WITH YOUR WALLET OR POCKET BOOK AND NOT YOUR HEART THANK YOU HISTORY I recently purchased this car from a couple that are now in their very late 70s along with their 64 sunflower yellow GTO and their 74 Cameo White Grand Prix SJ both under 12,000 miles . They never traded in a car. Over the last several years it became harder for the elderly couple to keep up with all these cars but they did the best they could as they sat in the 4 bay garage the owner built for his beloved Pontiacs.These cars were NEVER offered or advertised for sale. A true American Picker type story. THE CAR ITSELF You are looking at an all Original including paint very desireable RUST FREE 77SJ triple black t top with YES 12,325 ORIGINAL MILES, NOT 112325.This SJ as ordered by the original owner and has the rare t tops along with seldom seen tachometer and sport steering wheel .The owner ordered with no power windows and no power door locks as he did not like them in case they malfunctioned. The paint is still very good and has a brilliant shine and there is no sun fade on hood or trunk. There are though some areas where the paint has started checking(cracking NOT RUST) as was common with these 77 GM laquer paint jobs. This SJ was NEVER SPOT PAINTED OR TOUCHED UP and NO BODY WORK WAS EVER DONE OR NEEDED. Lower fenders door and quarters are perfect NOT EVEN A BUBBLE and HARDLY ANY stone chips. THESE CARS ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE.There is also about a 3 inch scratch on the right front fender and some dings on that wheel well molding from the previous owner scraping the garage pulling out. Note the fitment gap between hood and doors are perfect on both sides. The doors do not sag.The chrome and other stainless trim are in very good condition.The headlight bezels which still house the original headlights are like new. The bumper fillers are not cracked and still look new.The padded landau top is excellent with a nice lustre and no cracks or bubbles.ALL the glass is original with no chips in the windshield and no scratches on the side glass.The T Tops are not scratched. As you can see the interior is like new with no rips or tears or wear on piping on drivers seat. the carpet is not faded. The dash has no cracks and the dash bezel and console look like a car with 12,325 miles. The engine compartment is very clean and has the ORIGINAL hood insulation, and trunk is very clean and neat and still has its original spare tire. The undercarraige has minor surface rust only. If you are really knowledgeable on these 77s and know what you are looking at and where to look you have no doubt the miles ARE 12,325 For example if it were 112325 note in the pic the words unleaded fuel only by the gas tank would be long worn off, the original headlights still intact the unmarked dash with no knicks, and the spotless original bright wheel trim rings with not a mark or a ding are only a few tell tale signs .This car was zbarted when new on the undercarriage and under hood where applicable, there is the yellow decal still intact on back window lower right and the certificate is included in paperwork.The SJ comes with the original title, factory invoice, and all original owners manuals and sales literature from 1977. A picture with the original owners standing by the SJ 2 days after they purchased it in 1977 is included in sale THE MECHANICALS Everything except the clock is in excellent working order, heat, the AC which has been converted to the new system and blows cold. The radio 8 track play crystal clear.The windshield wipers are still the original stainless with new rubber. The waterpump, thermostat, and alternator are less than 6 months old.The AC delco battery, the entire exhaust system, and the BF Goodrich TAs are less than 2 years old. I had the car tuned up, oil and oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter changed a little over a month ago.The SJ has NO fluid leaks. All AC Delco parts were used. This SJ sounds and runs and rides like new. Ask yourself this ,when will another 77SJ Triple Black T Top with so few miles come along again??? ****ALL INSPECTIONS TO BE DONE PRIOR TO AUCTION END Thanks for stopping by and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid!!!

IF YOU ARE A TRUE PROSPECTIVE BUYER LOOKING FOR A 77 ALL ORIGINAL SJ THEN YOU KNOW THE SJ EITHER CAME WITH EXREMELY THIN WHITEWALL OR A RAISED WHITE LETTER .THIS TRIPLE BLACK SJ CAME WITH SOLID WHITE LETTERS WHICH READS B.F. GOODRICH STEEL BELTED RADIAL . THE TIRE ALSO SAYS GR70/R15 B F GOODRICH LIFE SAVER 70 STEEL BELTED RADIAL T P C SPEC NO1007 THE OLD FOLKS THAT OWNED THE CAR SINCE DAY ONE NOTICED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS THE TIRES WERE LOSING AIR AND CRACKING THEY WENT TO TH ELOCAL TIRE DEALER AND HE TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD REPLACE THEM EVEN THOUGH THAT HAD A LOT OF TREAD LIFE LEFT. SO THEY BOUGHT THE TA S AND KEPT THE ORIGINSL LOOK. THESE FOLKS WERE ALSO VERY FRUGILE AND KEPT THE TIRES SO AS THE TIRE DEALER COULD NOT RESELL THEM. THE ORIGINAL TIRES GO WITH THE CAR, THOUGH ONLY 1 AND THE SPARE WHICH ALSO IS ORIGINAL AND WAS NEVER USED HOLD AIR. THE ORIGINAL SPARE IS A RALLEY WHEEL AND WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNERS INSIGHT COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL STAINLESS TRIM RING AND CENTER CAP, BOTH WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD.
