I'm with Clint. I know the 4 Dr. Vista roof as a Flat top, 2 Dr. Hardtop as a Bubble Top. Is a 4 Dr. Bubble Top the 4 Dr. Pillared sedan?

         I can see someone calling it a bubble top

     

 

 

 

Truthfully bubble top only refers to 1962, to deferentiate between Belair 2dr Ht which kept the 61 "bubble top" and the new Impala formal roof line. Can also be applied to Pontiac of the same years but originated with the the Chevys. Has been backdated as of late to refer to all 59 - 61 GM 2dr HT.

And since we are speaking about 4 door Pontiacs here's the illustration of the 1960 4 door rooflines:

 

A nice '62 Bel Air 409/4 gear bubbletop sold on B-J last night for ONLY $92,400.00

No, google them and you will find several, in fact that car Carl posted above is an export Parisenne.

Here's one of each year...

OK ... well since there was quite a bit of chatter going on about this car ... I decided to head out today and check it out.

In my opinion ... there is NO WAY that this car is worth anywhere close to $750 ... and I told my buddy just that!!!

A few details: Seems like this car was destined for the crusher ... VIN already taken out ... and a friend of my buddy saved it. He drove it to where it is sitting now ... under it's own power ... with a jug for a gas tank. This guy had no papers for it ... but had plenty of plans. Long story short ... the owner has passed away. His son will sell it because nobody in the family wants it. It will sell with a bill of sale only ... no other papers. Included with the car, will be the parts he scavenged off another similar car. He got everything that was removable from that car ... doors ... chrome ... bezels ... and the VIN. That one was a cream coloured car.

I am thinking that this thing will never see the road again ... but it might be useful for parts, anlong with the parts scavenged from the other cream coloured car.

My buddy and I had a discussion about the price. He said that it was worth $200 to the scrap people ... when the steel prices get back to normal. With this in mind ... I guess that if they don't get $400 for it, it won't be worth the bother or the hassle to sell it to anyone.

And here are the pics ... of a seriously ROACHED OUT Poncho!

Agreed, not worth fixing but a fantastic parts car for someone.

Is it near Moncton?
