Thanks Guys! Its way cool having a car published in our favorite Pontiac magazine. I hope everyone gets a chance to experience that at one time or another.

Look forward in meeting many of you at this years show in St Charles and we should have a gathering one evening of all us py-ers. Lets put something together on-site or off for an evening of meet and greets!
Cheers

Jim, Your best bet would be to PM PureSD and ask. Its not my place to say who parks there and who doesn't.

What exactly is the definition of a survivor car? The SD in the ebay ad states as such but there sure has been alot of effort and cost to make the car mechanically sound just to call it a survivor.

I think he's mixing up some of his info.
I think he also has a 73 Brewster Green TA.

His deal location of Colorado is wrong for the 74 TA.
(looks good for the 73 TA)
