    Thoughts on the 1935 Pontiac coupe, 3 window? found one and debating its purchase. Body is solid and it’s completely intact. Was running several years ago. Always been a fan of the ‘35 Chevy but this Pontiac is pretty cool.

    Cool car. Just make sure the wood is good shape. Or prepare for a lot of work to replace with steel or new wood. Also ensure car is complete, being fairly rare the parts are harder to find. You will be the only 35 Pontiac at the cruise or show.

    It’s complete. Been sitting for a long time. Super nice body and all the wood looks good from what I’ve seen.
    car is def a solid find. And under $15g thinking it’s a good deal. Won’t take much to get her running again. Previous owner restored the car in the 80s. No filler from what I’ve found either
     
  6. What are you waiting for?? Grab it!

    Haha yes I know. Im on it now.
    Lastly, where is the VIN located on the frame? The guy is having issues with the title. I read that it’s on the right side of the frame by the wheel?

    I love Pontiac coupe’s, my bother had a 36 and I have a 39, love the suicide doors on a 35. The only drawback Pontiac vs Chevy is hard to find parts you don’t have, it only took 10 to find the belt line trim for the door.

    Is it a 6 or 8 ? I would think the bodies could be different especially front fenders.

    Suggestion ... do not buy if no title - could be a major headache depending on your state's laws ...

    standby on pics guys, i will get some.
    It is a 6. and the suicide doors is definitely a selling point for me.
    trying to help the guy on the title situation. shouldn't be an issue though.
    finding parts is always a concern but this seems to have all the original trim and body parts with it, and in great condition.

  14. Those in charge of selling it thought it was beautiful, I think they might have been right. E6B7DC80-7D64-48A7-9896-C902093CEA87.jpeg

    That would be really cool with a GTO drivetrain:
    4-speed, dual quads & positraction.:cool:

    Weren't the dual quads a Grand Prix thing? I thought GTO's were either one four barrel or a Tri-Power.

    From "Ronnie and the Daytonas" :

    "Little GTO,
    Lookin' fine,
    Three deuces and a four speed,
    and a three eighty nine."
