153 Pontiacs at Mecum Jan, 24
Lots of nice cars. The 74 SD Formula might be my favorite, even though it's a auto and AC car.

I'll be there several days. I live about 1 hour away and buy a bidders pass every year. If you're a member of POCI or GTOAA, you get 1/2 off a bidders pass. For $100.00 you get a bidders pass and a guest pass for the duration of the event.
PM me if you need details. Dave |

I imagine it is in the RA II thread on PY. I have info from 2012 and put it in my database in 2018.
VIN - u126570 I think. Triple Black RA I

I looked at this car in person several months ago. It's been detailed for the auction. It was owned by a fellow PY member till he passed away. I believe his PY name was "blkbird". His brother is selling the car trying to close out his estate. The owner lived in Melbourne and the car was stored in Malabar, FL.
Looked like the original engine was still in the car, It was pretty ratty looking when i saw it. I think the brother really cleaned it up. It did run. The brother wanted 60K for the car at the time I looked at it but needed restoration. The brother wanted retail for everything he had, sometimes over retail. What days are you going to the auction? Look me up! I live right in Melbourne. Dave Burns 609-847-7023 |

Awesome 1968 Ram Air I bird.
But one major pet peeve is BLACK wiper blades. Anybody with those on their vintage car need their man card taken away. Awful. |

Yea it was good to see the car again, when I sold it, it was in very nice condition with only 47k on it. It went to Wisconsin, and then I never heard of or seen the car since. I had a few friends that told me they saw it at Norwalk this year.

He was real active on here for some time and then just disappeared about 10 years or so ago , it seemed like. But I remember the 68 Ram1 car he had. We tried to do a breakdown on the BHC card but it had so many options that neither BrianS nor I could get the math to go flush. The BHC (PHS) and option breakdown will be listed in the Ram Air II Roll Call thread in the 67-69 Bird section on here. Black was a Special Order on a 68 Firebird , not a standard color. Had no idea he had passed away He was cool |
