lets see those "A" bodies
Spring can not get here fast enough. I purchased my GTO in DEC. and have not really had a chance to drive it.
Next weekend is the start of the GTO make over. Remove the "extreme motor" and install the original 400 block with a six pak. do engine prep work and should be rolling fine for April 7 when the GTO is . scheduled for a paint job. Will reshoot it with the ascot silver. Lets think spring, lets see pics of those a bodies

John, I've seen them before, me being 75lemanssc over at the a-bodysite, but always great to see again. Have you thought about putting some GTO stripes on it and if so, what color would they be? Black and red, I guess?

Have thought about the stripes. The only set of stripes I knew of were very $$$. I was looking into having them made but the deal feel through. Chief Wanabee My bad. I work with a mopar boy. I will put the "six pack in the fridge for later. BillyG The pics that I posted are actually pics from Bruce. I havent had a chance to get any good pics of my own other than the engine compartment..........

ralley 2's, yeah I can see it. I have a set of honey combs a set of snow flakes and a half a set of ralley2 hangin around.
I kinda likwe the moon caps with beauty ring. But I'm the kinda guy that likes the non flash, whip your a** cars. Guess its an age thing. Remeber seeing lots of cars with just poverty caps. I kept thinking why isnt this car flashy with lots of chrome? Then all I seen were tail lights after he smoked me out. ahh the smell of burnt rubber. Come on spring!

Nice rides. I had the Olds 260 auto in a 77 442 and it wasn't bad. I liked that car alot and miss it, wish mine had the 5 speed though. Car had 135k on it when I sold it and it still ran strong.
pontiacmuscle - weren't you looking to swap the engine ? If only 10 or so were made I would keep it together and find another correct 5 speed trans. It's too rare to change it. It's a V8 with a 5 speed !!! Something not seen again until recently from the auto industry. John |

John;
In reality; its a rare combo which is why Im going to keep the 260 in the garage (for a doorstop) and put something in the engine bay that can make some torque and have some fun with the car. The original 5 speed was long gone when I got the car so If I come across one in a Chevette (T-50) I'll set it aside. Im still going to do a swap; in fact the Saginaw that had replaced the T-50 is long gone...... I'd found a car on Epay I was going to use for parts to do the conversion to Pontiac Power.....but after it got here and I saw what condition its in; I really changed my mind....alot nicer than I expected.

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.
