number to reach is 630-401-1074. Thanks This is a one-of-a-kind car that is almost all original with matching numbers on the engine and trans. with 70,500 original miles. It was only made one year so these cars are extremely hard to come by especially in this good of condition. There weren’t that many of these cars produced and now that they are 41 years old there probably aren’t even half left. History: The Pontiac Custom S was a single model year car that was marketed between the Pontiac Lemans and the Pontiac Tempest. For reasons unknown, this one-year only nameplate replaced the previous model years Tempest Custom name in the Pontiac line-up. Perhaps Pontiac wanted to try and add a sportier "S" image to its base Tempest lineup. The Custom S was only available for the 1969 model year. The car was originally to be called the "Pontiac TC". It was available in six different body designs: two-door convertible (VIN #'s starting with 23567xxxxx), hardtop coupe (VIN 23537xxxxx), sports coupe (VIN 23527xxxxx), a 4-door sedan (VIN 23569xxxxx), a 4-door hardtop (VIN 23539xxxxx), and a station wagon (VIN #'s 23535 and 23536 that depended on how the tailgate was hinged) Originally planned for 1969 was a lower-priced junior muscle car to be based on the Custom S series, and a competitor to the inexpensive and fast-selling Plymouth Road Runner which started the econo-musclecar trend in 1968 due to a starting price of under $3,000 (by this time the GTO and similar upscale muscle cars had starting prices closer to $3,500 and optioned-out cars often sold in the $4,500-$5,000 range - too expensive for younger buyers for which marketing of muscle cars was aimed at). This car was to be built on the two-door pillared coupe bodystyle and be powered by the 330-horsepower 350 HO V8 with other equipment including the Custom S's bench-seat interior and exterior with Carousel Red paint, Rally II wheels sans trim rings and sporty striping. This car, which was said to have been named the "Pontiac ET" (for elapsed time), was presented to division officials but rejected as presented. Instead of the lower-priced musclecar concept, Pontiac decided to retain the flamboyant paint job and striping ... and offer it as "The Judge" option on the GTO, which further jacked up the GTO's price. The Custom S nameplate was dropped after the 1969 model year. For 1970, that series was replaced by a new base LeMans line with the same bodystyles, while the previous up-level LeMans became the LeMans Sport. The entry level Tempest continued for one more year with a new T-37 hardtop coupe added at mid-year, that included a GT-37 option package as lower-priced junior musclecar available with 350 and 400 V8s somewhat similar to the abortive '69 ET series. The T-37 nameplate replaced Tempest entirely for the entry-level Pontiac intermediate series in 1971 About The Car: Up for sale is my 1969 Pontiac Custom S two door hardtop coupe. I bought this car about a year ago and I am the third owner. The first owner bought this brand new back in 1969 and when he passed away he gave it to his son who had it in storage for over 20 years. Has always been well maintained. This is the second paint job so it is not original. The current paint on the car is peeling in some places (mostly on the hood) and there are a few rust spots. With the car I have extra parts including tail lights, the original hubcaps, seat belts, arm rests, touch up paint, and a lot of misc. items like custom s emblems and other things. I also have three sets of keys. It also includes the original bumper jack and a spare tire (the spare is a 15 inch but the wheels on the car are 14 inch. I planned on getting new 15 inch wheels just never got around to it) The Engine and Trans. All engine components and the trans are original and matching numbers. It has a 350 ci V8 engine with a rochester 2 bbl carburetor with electric choke. Runs and drives great! The Interior All original except stereo system. Drivers side seat has rip in it as seen in pics. There is also a rip in the top fabric of ceiling. The dash lights all worked a week ago and suddenly turned off. I think there is a loose wire because they have done that before but often go back on. Also, the fuel gauge does not work. It always says it is on full but I have seen it move when I start the car, so I am thinking that maybe the float is stuck in the top of the tank somehow.
