Hey Big Car brethren. I FINALLY decided to drop in over here. I hope I can help from time to time. I am sure I will need some along the way too.

Always nice to meet another darksider. I see you are also a '67 kinda guy. I am in the process of reassembling a '67 GP convertible frame-off so your presence will be very welcome.

Welcome, Looks like you got some nice cars there. Pat

Hi Jim,nice to see you over here!

[mr67gp]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Nice to see you hanging around here too, Steve. Thanks for the compliments, Pat. They sound a bit nicer than they look right now . . .

Harry, we have traded email directly on some parts. I have not forgotten about you, just been real busy with the kids and the holidays.

BTW, is your convertible a triple black car? Did you buy it in Minnesota?

[Coach]

Jim,

It is black top, black body, parchment interior. And yes I did buy it from Will in MN. I know I paid too much for it, particulary now that I have taken full inventory of what it came with and what I still need to buy. But it is the car I have wanted since '67 when it first came out. Besides the guy who bought my vette paid way more then I expected to get, so I guess it all works out in the end. Now if I can only find the time to finish the darn thing!

Harry,

I have had my convertible since 1983. It is the only car I have kept through college, marriage, two kids, two houses and numerous other car acquisitions and divestments. It will probably be another couple of years before the car is "done", and I will have way more invested in it that it will be worth (and I only paid $250 for it), but who cares. Keep plugging with yours.

Peace.

Jim

I bought my 1st GP conv.in 81.It was dark blue w/parchment.It was a rusty Mass.seacoast car.I had it painted black and used it in my wedding.I sold it in Oct.82.I bought my current one in Nov.83,(right when my daughter was born).It is loaded,ps.pb,pw,pvw,pseat,pant,ac,am/fm 8track,tilt/wood wheel,discs,cornering lamps.I converted it to a 4 speed + 3:42 posi 15 yrs ago.It is Linden Green(not for long,soon to be Tyrol Blue)with a parchment int with a white roof.Has not been run,with motor out for 12 yrs.It is a VERY solid CA.car.Every time I say I'm going to get it back together,I buy something else and the GP stays on the back burner.But I am now(finally)concentrating on putting it back together.It has made a great shelf in the back of my garage.

Steve,

I, too, suffered from the delays due to acquisition of other Pontiacs, race cars, etc. I have "retired" from racing for the forseeable future, so can concentrate on the Pontiacs.

Mine is not highly optioned, but does have P. ant. and cornering lamps. I think I am going to add A/C. 20 years ago I would have scoffed at the idea. Ahh, youth. Mine is white with black interior, but I was seriously thinking of also painting mine Tyrol blue. I parted out a HT that color and loved it.

I had planned on a 4 speed conversion for the convertible, but my wife wants to drive it, and prefers an auto (although she is quite competent with a manual trans). Now the HT will get the swap, probably to a 5 speed.

I think I will post a couple of questions on those two points seperately.

Happy New Year!

Jim
