Some interesting tidbits off the bat...

Base 350-250 V8 was about $115 over the 6 (depends on model).
300 horse 350 was $60 over base V8
396(265) was $78 over base V8
427(335) was $186.60 over base V8
427(390) was $270.60 over base V8 (included dual exhaust)

Dual exhaust was optional on the other V8's for $36.00 but not available on the base 350(250)

Power bucket seat was not available, only bench had power option and wasn't offered with 4 speed

Any car with buckets (standard on 2+2, optional on GP) came with a console. If 4 speed or automatic was ordered the console had shifter, if standard 3 on the tree console was non operating but still there.

fender skirts were only offered on GP (standard) or Parisienne (optional) not offered on other cars

Buckets were standard in 2+2 but only optional on the GP for a hefty $192.05 (included console)

Rear Air shocks or auto level control was not available with F41

F41 was only offered with the 427(390) and included front and rear sway bars

F40 was heavy duty springs and shocks for load carrying. It was included in the Taxi option

Disc brakes were only offered with power assist. Disc brakes required 15" wheels and 15" wheels required power disc brakes

No fender skirts with rally wheels, Rally wheels were 15" only

Base hubcap is same as American dogdish except it says "Pontiac Pontiac" instead of "Pontiac Motor Division". All models except 2+2 and GP came standard with this cap

2+2 came standard with specific wheelcover, basically the US Tempest deluxe with different center emblem, this cover was also used on the Beaumont SD but wasn't offered on any other car

GP used a deluxe wheelcover similar to US big car deluxe but 14". There was also a 15" version. These were optional on lesser models and a 2+2 with 15" wheels (but not ordered with Rallys) would get this cover

Chevy Impala style wire wheel cover was also optional on all models but only with 14" wheels

14" tire options were all one size (8.25), only option was white wall or nylon black or white

15" tire options included 8.25 white or black but also G70 and G78's. only the G70x15 was available with redline

all whitewalls on the GP were the dual stripe variety, not offered on other models

interesting is also the price spread as you go up the food chain (2 door hardtop and with base V8 in all cases):

Strato-Chief: $3,453

Laurentian: $3,586 ($133 extra)

Parisienne: $3,769 ($183 extra)

2+2: $3,971 ($202 extra) Which is basically the cost of buckets and console which is all a 2+2 really is anyway, no mechanical differences

GP: $4,106 ($337 over the Parisienne and $135 over the 2+2)

When I get a chance Iâll post pics of every page. Iâll put it on a new thread, maybe it is sticky-worthy?

Oh, and of course the logical spot for it would be Hillar's General 65-70 Full Size Forum.

Wasn't it on the side panel about 1-2 feet forward of the gate?

US models didn't have fibre optic or map light mirrors? Those poor deprived people, those are cool toys.

And of course US models donât have a console or floor shift options in 69. Iâve never seen a wagon defogger or a ragtop for that matter.

Not sure about 69 but 70 had a 350 2 bbl in a 2+2. I parted one out in 1979 like that. Buckets, console, 12 bolt posi, power trunk, rally wheels, disc brakes but a 2 barrel!

Mine was ordered with the 350-300 4 bbl but not dual exhaust, go figure.

 SAME AS MINE, ALTHOUGH DUALS WERE ADDED AT SOME POINT.

THAT BOOKLET WAS A COOL FIND!

Back in the day a lot of people avoided duals when buying a new car (especially in the salt belt) because within two years you'd rusted out components and a dual system was much more expensive to replace.
