Special order car by Fred Thompson of "Fred Thompson Pontiac" in Cuyahoga Falls Ohio, for his personal vehicle. 1 of 160 produced in 1974. Originally ordered in Sunstorm Yellow. According to legend the color was changed immediately after arriving to dealership, or was changed in the early 80's. Don't know. Very famous/legendary car. I would say a 99 of 100 car. Paint ,Body, Interior, Underhood , Trunk, Underside, all match. Concourse Level. This is a trailer/show car. I have driven on the street, very little to keep her going. Heavy Doc's. Numbers match down to the alternator. All sheet metal believed to be original. Tires and wheels are new, with less than 10 miles. As close to "Off the assembly line" as I believe you can get. Pontiac magazine 7 page article. Includes sign board, a few copy's of High Performance Pontiac Magazine, Lots of laminated photo's from the magazine shoot.
