Lets see your T/A seeing you had since new!
Had a cheapo paint job done on it around 1999 to help preserve it. Quarters looking ugly rust coming through from rounding fender lip for wider tires way back in day. Has no rust anywhere else. Never been wrecked. My financial means have taken a turn for the better, and I hope for house to be paid for this year!

I have all parts and pieces...trim rings, etc. been shopping for fender flares. Bought a used, but good front spoiler...recently...

Has a 70 350 in it, temporarily. I performed a rebuild on it before installing in car. Runs OK does not use a drop of oil. Original engine is on stand (557 block...) exactly as it came out of car in 1992. I have a boat load of engine parts that can make about any combo I want, nothing exotic, iron heads, O.E. Blocks, possibly every aftermarket intake that will work with a shaker(obviously not a Victor...l.Lol)
I have some skills...I know how to bore a block and have a boring bar, and a valve machine. Both obviously used, but should not take much to make operational...of course I live in the 405 area code so other matching operations should not be a problem.

As long as your using your car that is great!
You just don't see these cars everyday.
I drove my 86' Chevy stepside 4x4 daily last year and I can't tell you how many people ask me question at the gas station...lol

Hey Jeff & Ben.. Thanks!
No, the ones that came with the car.
I drove it with another Pontiac buddy around town today & got gas at the pump for first time.
Love it already!
Looking down the hood the tips of fenders come to a point as well as the washboard in center of hood....Like driving the Batmobile!

Car was repainted sometime over 20 years ago.
After a bit of research those gauges were in quite a few cars.
My buddy has one that he's putting in his 70' Executive
I have a line on a few

Those rally gauge sets don't come up very often on these cars, you really have to watch eBay to find a set and you really want to find a set that has the dash harness included. Good luck, I found mine from an auction that were mislabeled and paid $110 for them. I had been offered several sets that weren't very nice for $300-400 and this set is perfect (minus the harness connections but that's a problem for a different day).

I want to thank fellow PY member SteveP for setting me up with a set of windshield wipers for the GP!

I have a cluster here my friend lent me that he intends to put in his 70' Executive.
I have a lead on a local one and another gent contacted me with one.
I thought they were neat but has no idea how expensive they can be.
It is not got to increase the value of my car a single dime and just a neat thing to have.
I'm considering making something close or scrapping the idea.
