HI THERE,

YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY 1969 PONTIAC CUSTOM S. THE CUSTOM S IS THE MODEL ABOVE THE TEMPEST AND BELOW THE LEMANS. RARE ONE YEAR ONLY MODEL. ONLY 7912 2 DOOR COUPES BUILT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 1999 FROM AN AD IN HEMMING'S MOTOR NEWS. THE LISTING SAID '69 LEMANS COUPE FOR $ 2,000. CAR WAS IN CT. WHEN I GOT THERE I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE CAR WAS A CUSTOM S AND HAD ONLY 68,000 ORIGINAL MILES AND WASALL #S MATCHING. I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME. I AM THE SECOND OWNER ON PAPER. THE REAL SECOND OWNER NEVERPUT THE CAR IN HIS NAME. ALSO THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE 2003. CAR HAS LESS THAN 79,500 MILES.

I AM GOING TO GO OVER THE WHOLE CAR PHOTO BY PHOTO SO PLEASE IF INTERESTED READ THE COMPLETE DESCRIPTION.
