I am selling this for a friend.
PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) Documented

In the past this Muscle Car we represented as being a Royal Bobcat. I can find no documentation to support this claim. It does have the lighter springs in the distributor but I have not torn the engine down to verify the aluminumlock nuts on the rockers or the offset keyin the cam.. I also do not know what jets are in the carbs. If this was a true Royal Bobcat the intake gasket would have the water passages blocked which I cannot confirm. The Royal Bobcat gaskets were in the trunk of the car along with the Royal Bobcat air cleaners.
With all that stated, It might be a Royal Bobcat or it might not. I am selling it asNOT a Royal Bobcat. If the buyer can document the car as a Bobcat, he will have made a heck of a buy.
This is an excellent example of a surviving Muscle Car. A 100% rust free, never hit or damaged car built in Fremont, CA, and delivered to Bryant Pontiac in Covina, CA. The car was in California until it was purchased by a military man stationed in L.A. in 1973. Hetookthe car to his family home in Detroit Michigan. From 1973 to 1983the car was a summer cruiser on WoodWard Avenue in Detroit and accumulated only a few thousand miles during the summer months that decade. It was then put into storage until it was purchased by the previous owner in 2006. At that time a complete restoration was performed. It is a 100% rust free and never hit or damaged survivor.
