Default Here's a car you don't normally see

I picked this up about a month ago. I have a broken ankle so I haven't driven it other than around the block, but I look forward to taking it to and fro to work, as well as taking it apart and making it better.

Interestingly, the 4-speed was only available with the 428 in 1968.

The GM Heritage Center has a lot of deep info, but anything that would show how many sedans built like this is MIA, among the many pages missing. All I know is 363 Catalinas had a 4-speed, and I assume most of them were hardtops and ragtops.

If you order the PHS it might come with a breakdown.

All of my cars did, I believe.

It's not a GTO, so PHS won't have a breakdown. The Pontiac Library and GM Heritage Center is where all the deep numbers lurk.
