She's Back! Johnsma22's '76 T/A
As many of you know, Johnsma22 passed 2 years ago as of yesterday. However, I'm sure some of you may have been wondering what fate awaited the bird after his passing. Well it's fallen into the hands of myself! I'm his oldest son David and over the past 2 years I've given it the love and care it's needed in terms of maintenance and repairs. I also got a lot of help from Shaker455 to get it running right again!

Nice to see you on the board. Are you the baseball player? Did you go to Fenway with me and my dad? I detailed the car more than a few years ago. Your mom was shocked at how nice it came out. Your dad would be very proud of you keeping it up and driving it. I'm very happy to see this post.

Great news! I never met your dad in person but we did correspond a few times and I live locally.
I am a member of a very active local Pontiac Club and we would love to have you join us. www.yankeepoci.org

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.
