Default New Darksider
I just picked up my first "Darksider", a 1963 GP 389/4 speed. I bought from a member here. I always liked big Pontiacs, probably because of my father. He bought a 65 2+2 421/4bbl/4 speed new, followed by a 66 Bonneville. I guess it's in the genes!
Here are a couple of pics the seller sent me before I bought it, don't have any new ones of my own yet. The car is pretty nice, but needs a few things. I hope to have them taken care of before the summer car show/cruise season.

Welcome to the best spot on the 'web for Pontiacs, especially the B-body cars...aka DarkSiders!

Where (roughly) is home? (Your bio lacks that info (note other people's post counts and their declared location))

Great looking car and a 4-speed. Looks like the only thing missing is a warm spring night.

Welcome to the Dark Side. Nice car you've got. My first Pontiac was a '63 Grand Prix but it wasn't anywhere near as nice as yours.

Welcome!

Very cool. Nothing like rowing the gears in a Darksider.

Wow...389 tri-power, 4 speed with the factory tach! Sharp looking car!

Welcome to the forum! I can speak from personal experience that everyone on this forum is extremely helpful and are amazing sources for information. This place has been so much help restoring my '64 GP, and I'm sure will be a great help to you.
