Default A Newbie

Hi...my name is Rick. I live in Daytona Beach (home of the Turkey Rod Run), retired after a long time living in Upstate New York. (Home of the Nationals) I have owned a gaggle of Pontiacs in the past, but being as I was a typical knucklehead kid, they were all mistreated or even killed as a result of my youthful ignorance. Earlier this year I bought a 69 GP from a member in Kansas. White w/ black top and interior....400, auto...a/c, pwr. windows, power seat, FM stereo radio that works, and 55000 original miles. It's also a bit of a rust bucket. As I set about the task of restoring this beauty to it's original splendor, I'll no doubt be seeking the sage advice (and probably parts) from all of you seasoned enthusiasts. Please show some love for yet another newbie!?

Welcome to the board!

And to Florida!



To attach pics use the advanced reply (if not using that).
Should be 'Additional Options' below the window.

Click 'Manage Attachments'

Click the 'Browse' button and find your pic on your computer.
'Add' it.

If wanting to use an external link pick use the yellow square icon (looks like a mountain and sun) above the text window.
