How rare is that Diego? 389? and a 4 speed. I'd say you've done well. Nice fun car.

It's a 428/375. I have a friend who has one with the 428 HO, which is currently on display at the Gilmore.
The pages from the GM Heritage Museum are MIA so I don't have any info on this specific body style and engine combo. This is all I know:
-- 755 4-speeds for all big Pontiacs -- 609 428 4-speeds, plus another 146 HOs for all big Pontiacs -- 363 Catalina 4-speeds --1,160 428s installed in Catalinas, but only 314 had a manual tranny
I can guess most of them were installed in hardtops and, perhaps, ragtops, with the balance going to 4-doors, wagons, and this 2-door sedan. I don't know any more than what I posted above and I wouldn't want to speculate cuz I hate when people do that. Looking at other cars with known numbers, like a Fury I vs. a more upscale Fury hardtop, I think it stands to reason this is quite an unusual vehicle. Has suspension package with sway bar, gauges, and dual exhausts, so it has some decent options.

There's a fellow in my area that has a 69 Galaxie 2 door with a 4 speed.
Full size stick big engine cars are proof that even dads needed to have some fun.

Wow, Diego, that's an awesome find! And it looks pretty unmolested, too, with the whitewalls and wheel covers still in place! That would be a multiple-photo car if I came across it at a show or cruise. Enjoy!
