I got my copy a couple days ago, very nice car and well done! It's good to see a pro touring car with a traditional Pontiac engine.
There was a recent discussion here about how HPP's content wasn't interesting any more...with your car, a 1960 Ventura, a '73 SD455 Formula and a couple engine build articles I thought this month's issue was very good. |

Got my copy today but I am saving it for Thanksgiving weekend at the cabin. That translates to no TV, radio or internet!

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.
