Thanks for the feedback!

I want to give a shout out to Rocky Rotella for the amazing photos he took and the write up he did for HMM. We all are extremely blessed to have someone so talented in our Pontiac family as Rocky! The photo shoot took about two hours and he had a little over 400 photos taken when it was all done. A friend of mine that helped me trailer the car to the location took a picture of me looking over Rocky's shoulder as he was taking the pictures. It was a very cool experience to say the least!

I was really excited he was able to write the story up as well, rather than another writer that would have done it over the phone and not been familiar with the car.

Jim

It is Solar Gold for the Macho graphics and has a copper colored pinstripe.

You can view the article online or order a copy directly from Hemmings.

Not that I am aware of. You might try Rob Thomas and see if he knows of anyone.

Do you still have the original?
