Not a good example……:D

I bought that core support assembly to replace a hacked up standard support on a 1967 GTO I used to own.

I sold all the parts and never ended up putting them on the GTO.

I once bought a 1966 core support from a factory air conditioned car and it had the hard to find plastic fan shroud intact along with all the sheet metal baffles for A/C.

Going to wash it, insure it, register it and start driving it again. :)

Might even go crazy and buy a car cover for it, it’s a garage queen that never sits outside.

18x8” all around on 235/40-18 tires.

Standard bore size is 4.09375” for the 421.

4.120” is standard bore for the 428.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
