Before I read any of the text on the eBay ad, I looked at this picture and asked myself if this car could wear its original “Linden Green” paint. There’s a quick tell: Original paint General Motors cars often have a slight mismatch between their fenders and their bodies, because the body was painted on the Fisher Body side of the plant and the front clip was not. I’m sure the paint matched almost perfectly as the car rolled off the line, but as decades pass, the paint seems to fade a little differently. That’s a good thing, because my suspicion was proved correct when I read the text; this is a 13,000-mile 1967 Pontiac Executive that was recently purchased from the family of the original owner. Located at a dealer in Greenwood, Indiana, it’s priced at $29,500 or best offer.

There’s not a great deal of specific information about the car on eBay, but we do know that it has a 400 under the hood, probably the Executive’s standard 10.5:1 compression, premium-fuel burning, two-barrel carbureted 290-horsepower version. This is a nicely optioned example, with power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. The Turbo Hydra-Matic (a Turbo 400) was the only transmission available with the 290-horsepower 400, and in the Executive, a 2.56:1 axle ratio was standard; sixties Pontiac full-size cars did tend to pull some tall gears, probably for a little extra economy, at least in the lower-performance trims.

The trim tag verifies the original color and this black “Expanded Morrokide” interior (the trim code is “529-A”). The “walnut wood grain styling” of the dashboard was standard equipment on the Executive, which was the step-up model from the basic Catalina in Pontiac’s full-size line. In essence, the Executive was the equivalent of the 1950s Buick Super, which had the Special’s engine and the Roadmaster’s body. In the case of the Executive, it had the Bonneville’s bigger body, but a less powerful engine shared with the Catalina.

That didn’t amount to amazing sales numbers, however, as Pontiac only sold 6,931 Executive Hardtop Coupes compared to 77,932 Catalina Hardtop Coupes and 31,016 Bonneville Hardtop Coupes. By the way, the trunk is huge; the Executive’s extra length was mainly added in the rear end. The trunk, like the interior, is nearly immaculate.

As the pictures show, this Executive is in pretty amazing original condition. It certainly shows signs of being stored in a moderately humid location, as there is some surface rust on portions of the undercarriage, but that is one of the dangers of letting a car sit for most of its 58-year lifespan.

In its very pretty green matched with a nice black vinyl top, it’s impossible to go wrong with this big, beautiful 1967 Executive. This example has new tires in addition to a new muffler and tailpipe, and the selling dealer says that it “drives as impressively as it looks, with the details and condition fully supporting its ultra-low mileage.” Regardless of all that, it’s just another example of a car on Barn Finds that I’d love to park in my driveway.
