Bill, I know of one other 4 speed like this one, even has AC too but it doesn't have original engine like this one. There were just over 400 engines with WJ code produced. Spread that over all full sized Pontiacs.

----Phil,,,Interesting! I know that in 69 you could not get AC with a 4-speed 428 HO combo. Did they allow that combo in 67? Also,,,Do you have the build figures for the Olds? It must be just as rare.....Bill S

Bill and Bill, I've been trying to buy these cars for several years and he was finally ready. The Olds is one of 2236 rags, unknown sticks but only 2 original engine cars known. First year of new body style and 425. Last year of convertible. The HO could be had with AC but was discouraged. I don't know how many GPs got the HO.
