HISTORY
YOU ARE VIEWING A RUST FREE 1 OWNER ALL ORIGINAL INCLUDING PAINT 77SJ BOUGHT FROM JOHN MEYER PONTIAC IN XENIA OHI0 IN JUNE OF 1977. WHEN DELIVERED THE SJ WAS UNDERCOATED IN ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK AREAS AND ALL UNDERCARRIAGE. IT WAS NEVER DRIVEN IN WINTER WHILE IN OHIO. IN FALL OF 1980 THE OWNER MOVED TO THE AUSTIN TEXAS AREA WHERE THE SJ REMAINED UNTIL I TILL PURCHASED IT.WHETHER IN OHIO OR TEXAS THE SJ WAS ALWAYS GARAGED. AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL OWNER KEPT INSPECTION AND PLATES CURRENT AND DROVE IT SPARINGLY RATHER THAN JUST LET IT SIT YEAR AFTER YEAR. THE SJ IS POWERED BY THE PONTIAC 400 AND HAS 15 FACTORY OPTIONS PLUS ALL THE SJ STANDARD EQUIPMENT. WITH THE SALE COMES ALL PHS DOCUMENTATION, ALL ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUALS, SALES LITERATURE AND COPY OF ORIGINAL TITLE FROM 1977.
THE SJ ITSELF
THE FACTORY NAUTALIS BLUE PAINT IS EXCELLENT WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHINE AFTER ALMOST 39 YEARS. IT HAS NO CHECKING OR FADING ANYWHERE FRONT TO BACK. ALL BODY PANELS LINEUP PERFECTLY AND THE DOORS DO NOT SAG. ALL THE STAINLESS TRIM AND CHROME ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE WHEEL WELL MOLDINGS HAVE 0 DINGS.!!! THE OPERA WINDOW MOLDINGS FIT WELL WITH NO SHRINKAGE. THE FACTORY BODY SIDE MOLDINGS ARE VERY NICE AS ARE THE ROCKER PANEL MOLDINGS.*** BACK IN 1980 WHEN THE OWNER HAD THE CAR TRANSPORTED FROM OHIO TO TEXAS THE SJ WAS LOADED ON THE BOTTOM AND DURING TRANSPORT THE HYDRAULICS FAILED AND THE TOP RACKS CAME TO REST ON THE FRONT OF THE VINYL TOP AND PUT INDENTATIONS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE BUT DID NOT RIP OR CUT ANYTHING. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE AND OTHERWISE THE FULL VINYL TOP IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH NO BUBBLING NOR RUST UNDERNEATH. THE OWNER DECIDED HE DID NOT WANT ANYTHING DISTURBED SINCE IT WAS A FULL VINYL TOP* * ALL GLASS IS FACTORY WITH NO CRACKS NOR SCRATCHING.THE INTERIOR IS FLAWLESS WITH NO RIPS, TEARS OR STAINS IN THE SEATING AREA. THE DOOR PANELS ARE PERFECT. THE CARPET IS NOT WORN AND SUPER CLEAN. THE ORIGINAL FLOOR MATS SHOW LITTLE WEAR. THE DASH IS PERFECT.THERE IS NO WOODGRAIN TRIM WORN OFF THE STEERING WHEEL!!!! RARE!!!! THE SHELF BELOW BACK WINDOW HAS NO SUN FADE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS IMMACULATE AS YOU CAN SEE . THE HOOD INSULATION HAS NO HOLES AND STANDS OUT WHEN THE HOOD IS OPEN. ALL DECALS ARE PRESENT AND READABLE. THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT IS ALSO IMMACULATE. THE RALLEY WHEELS ARE SPARKLING AND THE FACTORY STAINLESS TRIM RINGS ARE GREAT WITH NO CURB RASH.
THE MECHANICALS.
THE 400 FIRES RIGHT UP AND PURRS GOING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND THERE IS NO ENGINE, BRAKE OR EXHAUST NOISE. ALL MECHANICALS ARE WORKING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CLOCK. THE HEAT TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS AND THE AC BLOWS COLD. ALL GAUGES ARE ACCURATE. ALL POWER OPTIONS WORK. ALL EXTERIOR/INTERIOR LIGHTS WORK. THE AM/FM STEREO PLAYS CLEAR AND SOUNDS GOOD FOR A 39 YEAR OLD RADIO. THE BFG 235/70R 15S ARE LIKE BRAND NEW. RECENT MAINTENANCE WOULD INCLUDE NEW RADIATOR, A/C COMPRESSOR, ALTERNATOR, CLUTCH FAN, BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER, BATTERY, HOSES, BELTS, PLUGS, FILTERS, ETC.
SUMMATION
ITS VERY EASY TO SEE THIS SJ WAS WELL KEPT FOR 39 YEARS. AS YOU WILL SEE IN OTHER LISTINGS FOLKS WILL SAY A CAR IS A CLOSE 10. OR TIME CAPSULE. TO ME A 10 WOULD BE ONE PURCHASED OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR AND DRIVEN INTO STORAGE FOR YEARS. ALL I WILL SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST LOW MILES SJ AROUND . YOU BE THE JUDGE. I HAVE 39 YEARS OF OWNER SHIP AND KNOWLEDGE . I STILL HAVE MY 76SJ AND 77LJ BOUGHT NEW TO KEEP LONG TERM AND OTHERS PICKED UP ALONG THE WAY SO YOU ARE DEALING WITH A REAL GP GUY NOT A DEALER.!!!
