I've been driving this one instead while I put injectors in my truck.

The book says 8 hours so I figure a couple weeks should do it.

You, and your family, have some really nice ones, Keith.

I plan on taking you up on that offer of Breakfast or Lunch one of these days
when you are available. Getting to Van Dyke and 12 mile is just down the road for me.

Still waiting for those pictures Colin. I had to replace the windshield in my 72 T/A today, some landscaping truck lost a rock going down the freeway and luckily it hit the glass. Much easier fix than a dent in a body panel. $102 with tax for the glass and 413 for the ribbon tape to put it in.

I have a 43,000 mile 2 owner car that will get restored. Think they made about 2600 of them. Far more were 403 auto cars.

That’s one of the good things about SC insurance. If you have full coverage of any carrier and your glass gets damaged for any reason you can make a glass only claim and the insurance company has to fix it and can’t raise your rates. I had a run in a few years back with kids with B.B. guns and USAA at the time was not thrilled about replacing the glass in a 58 Chevrolet. They were doing it to all the cars in the neighborhood and when they were caught their parents paid big

64speed. I have good coverage, but for less than $120 I do it myself so someone else isn't touching my car. The only thing I've paid for on these cars is headliners, don't even want to attempt them��

I didn’t look at the rest of the cars to see how rare but I drive my dealer raced RAIV bird drag car, on slicks , w the RAV pro stock engine on the street. Not that often, but if it’s gotta go somewhere under 30 min ride it’s getting driven .

It’s actually very drivable even w the dual quad single plane intake on it love driving this car I’d probably drive it every day in good weather, if I worked close by and the same location all the time . And I have a highway gear in it right now because my other rear was out being detailed runs pretty good even w the highway gears. I feel like she’s pretty rare 15k miles still.

There is a local car collector with a original 1970 Trans Am in Lucerne Blue with factory red interior. To me a odd color combination and probably rare.

Yes sir that RAV was Stephen Pontiacs pro stock engine 70-73 article about it in Jan rodder and super stock. 72. The car is a real RAIV firebird .

Car in 69 at connecticut dragway and the pro engine pictured in the article . I still have the pan. Come to find out it may not have been quite home made . Grumpy Jenkins has the same exact one on his car as did a couple other pro stockers.

I've got 3 rare (as in low production numbers, not rare as in valuable...lol) Pontiacs, all 4-dr sedan A-bodies.

1969 Custom S 4-dr sedan, 350HO, TH400, 3.55 Safe-T-Track; 1 of 55 made
1970 Tempest 4-dr sedan w/L65 400 2-bbl, TH400: 1 of 84 made
1970 Lemans 4-dr sedan w/ M-20 4-spd, 3.23 Safe-T-Track: 1 of less than 10?

They are all driven in the summer and fun to drive. I don't see many 4-drs on the road anymore.

See lots of GTO's still around, I wonder How many Lemans are still alive or did they get parted out to save GTO's?
I've only seen mine here where I live.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
