That's my old car. He sent me a couple of photos. A few changes since I last owned it. It appears someone chipped the trim plate on the steering wheel. It was mint when I had it. The tissue dispenser (that housed the aftermarket stereo) and oil pressure gauge are gone. Headers, air cleaner and valver covers were added since I owned it. I also know the car was keyed when the folks who bought it from me owned it and according to them it got a "quicky" insurance repaint. It still has the aftermarket 8 track. I wonder if someone got it working?
Also it's not a "three owner" car. I was owner #5 Orig owner, his son, Ken, guy who bought it from Ken, then me..... I think three owners after since this guy.
They painted those Canadian Pontiac only center caps and the trim rings!
Also appears they painted the argent on the taillight lenses black.
Taillights when I had the car

Well, an attempt was made at a new look for it. Not my cuppa, but it does change things, and I've never seen this done before. I do miss the stripe though.
Todd, did you have a Vortec 350 in it? I see centerbolt valve covers.
Good eye Mark. No, it was the original matching numbers motor when I had it. All I did was install the L79 cam and an aluminum intake and Edelbrock carb. I guess on the bright side with the original engine likely gone one wouldn't feel too bad converting to a big block. I also think the minty 427 emblems disappeared at some point too.

Vortec heads may have been added to the original block at some point?
That was the case. Most of the parts replaced were NOS. I talked to the son of the original owner. Those 427 emblems, body side moldings (super rare as Laurentian didn't have rubber strip in the moulding), and I believe bumpers, etc were all NOS. I should have bought it back when it was $6500.
Seems like most of the changes could be put back to the way it was fairly reasonably. I think it would be nice if you could buy it back as I know you really liked the car and the asking price is negotiable. Hope you get it back.
