Looking for a Purely PMD license plate for my 71 GT-37 which was previously owned by Rick Wright.

Will consider all other memorabilia as well - please let me know what you have. Thanks.

I think I might still have a t-shirt.

The Boss 07-25-2017 07:17 AM

XL or Large - I would need an XL. Price & pic if you can thebosspontiac@hotmail.com

CDN2PLS2 07-26-2017 08:21 PM

Wife can't find it yet,but pretty sure its a Medium.

I remember the hottie that they had modeling the t-shirt.

Looking for any of their old newsletters?

The Boss 08-01-2017 08:20 PM

Thanks guys, no I have a few of those, don't really need any others.

The license plate is really what I'm looking for and will pay well for it.

PurelyGTO68 08-01-2017 09:45 PM

I think Rick gave me a stack of those plates. I will see if I can remember where I stored them. Might have some key chain fobs and a few other items. Hopefully I can remember where they are...

Did you buy his blue car with the 455 in it? That was a sweet ride...

No I bought the white 71 GT-37 that was due to be their next project after they finished the RA V Judge but things changed for them. The car went through several owners in between but ultimately I think it was restored/built into what their plan would have been - 455HO/Auto/3:73 12 Bolt. I'm taking it out to Norwalk this weekend, shooting for 12's.

PurelyGTO68 08-07-2017 04:50 PM

Checked my storage building where I thought they might be boxed but didn't find them. Last possible place to look is at my uncle's home in Albuquerque. I will give him a call and ask him to check.

The background color of the plate photo posted earlier is more ivory than I remember.... weren't those more of an off white color originally?

I think you're right about the original off-white color on the plate.
 
It's probably the lighting making the pic look more ivory.

Did a lot of business with John and Rick back in the day.

The Boss 08-08-2017 07:58 AM

I thought they were off white too - will take it any way it comes.

PurelyGTO68 08-10-2017 10:06 PM

Update.
So no luck on the plates. They must be lost for good. However, I did find the original logo artwork that John gave me to make the screens. I believe the first few plates were made with vinyl cut on a Gerber machine. Those plates were put on the customer cars that competed at various GTO shows across the country. John decided to offer the plates for sale due to a large number of requests that he received after the cars were shown so we made up some masks to give to the silkscreen shop that produced the items that were sold via the Pipeline. I think the price was $8.95 plus shipping....not sure why I remember the price, just stuck in my head for some weird reason.

At any rate....I can probably reproduce those plates in vinyl (just like we did for Ralph's RA V car). I have the PMD logo so all I would need to do is layout the text. I don't remember the font but I can use the photo posted by Chris as a guide to come up with a very very close match. I think I want to give it a try for old times sake....I can use the plate for my 68 restoration that is nearly complete so that would be a fun little tribute to the fellas. I will post some pics when I make the first plate and see if there is any interest in duplicates. Wish me luck!

The Boss 08-11-2017 08:49 AM

Wow - great info!

PurelyGTO68 08-25-2017 08:51 PM

This is what I was able to make with my current resources. I think it's a pretty decent replica. I have The Boss' order.....does anyone else want any of these?
$18(shipped) for the first plate... $11 for each additional plate. This covers my cost. Not trying to make a profit here. Just trying to help any fellow Purely friends.

I am going to run the next batch on Monday. Speak up now if you want one or more of these for yourselves. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ea6e884400.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...27fccffab1.jpg

Oh yeah....these are metal plates....just like the originals. Not plastic. Printed with UV resistant ink. We use this same process to print regulatory signs (no parking, handicap, stop signs etc...). Should be fairly durable but not indestructible.

paypal payment sent. Thanks for doing these Greg!

BTW you need to change the red sign by your GTO to "Smoking Tires Area"!

The Boss 08-26-2017 01:42 PM

Greg did a fantastic job on these and has been in touch with me on them almost daily!

He's also the guy who produced the originals so I don't know if we call these reproductions or continuations. ;)

carguy66cars 08-26-2017 07:31 PM

Greg I will take two also, please P.M. me the paypal address.

Thanks Lyn.

It's funny you say that because I put a new set of tires on that car yesterday. Before I left for the tire shop, they guys at work coerced me into brutalizing the old tires. So I turned off traction control and laid down several sets of black ribbons on the street out front. A little juvenile....but fun. :)

Is it just me or does it seem the new tire compounds don't smoke as much as they did in the 80s? Back then it didn't take much to fill the intersection with tire smoke. I guess I was a bit reckless back then. :)

Hi Greg. Very cool tribute to John and Rick. They were great guys. Somewhere I have a newsletter and a photo of a well equipped woman posing on a Pontiac. Thanks for doing these!
I will take 4 plates too. Please just let me know where to send the PayPal payment. Thanks much!

These are great. I would like to order 4 myself. Please PM me the payment info. Thanks for doing this!

PurelyGTO68 08-29-2017 05:13 PM

I ordered the blank plates yesterday....let me see if I can get 8 more. We expect them to arrive tomorrow and should be printing on Thursday. I will get everything mailed out by Saturday.

PurelyGTO68 09-01-2017 08:39 PM

Happy holiday weekend! The plates were finished late today. I have payments and mailing addresses for everyone. I will run these over to the post office in the morning. Hopefully everyone will receive their respective orders sometime next week.

BTW, I printed 5 extra plates in case anyone joins the party late...

The Boss 09-02-2017 07:16 AM

I bet you'll sell those and have orders for more.

Looking forward to bolting this onto Rick's old car!

Ram4king 09-02-2017 09:40 AM

Throw my hat in the ring! I'll take 4 also.

carguy66cars 09-06-2017 06:32 AM

Thanks Lyn.

PurelyGTO68 09-06-2017 03:00 PM

Hopefully Rick and John are smiling right now...

Neither of them ever got a chance to see my 68 deuce vert 4 speed but I think they would be proud with the end result. RIP gentlemen.
