74 Formula
BJ maybe one of these guys know why it had a trailer hitch on it when I purchased the car (YES PY members I said trailer hitch). And by the way Jim, I hold you personally responsible for that large empty void in my garage that I have to look at everyday! Just kidding I am glad your loving this car BJ.

My first '77 SE had a mint trunk pan, but the lower rear quarters/dropoffs were GONE, as were the passender floor pans from the T-Tops leaking.

The trailer hitch was put on the car when the guy moved out of state. The was a move from Indiana to Utah and than back to Wisconsin. I dont know who owned it at the time,but it was there in 2001 when I first seen the car. A New Berlin,WI cop owned it. BJ the miles on the car when I first seen it in 01 were 107K. Tom ( the guy I got it from ) had a couple of cars so he only drove it sparingly. If you look at your reciepts from the motor and trany rebuild you will see the they dont have many miles logged on them.

I was able to get the car registered in Georgia today and I have a new Prestiege License Plate coming that will be: "HAD1N75" or "Had One In '75" which was the year I bought the twin to this car.
I also ordered a set of vinyl accent stripes (Light Orange, Dark Orange, Black) from Phoenix Graphics. Will be getting some paint correction work done on the car over the next month or so, then adding the stripes. Nothing major, just some buffing/polishing to bring the luster back, and a few touch-ups on some big scratches and door dings. Getting the oil and fluids changed/inspected/topped off tomorrow, and putting it on a lift to get a good look underneath. BJ

Thanks Jim! I am so happy to have found this car and been able to work out a deal to own it. Lots of fun to have a car that is identical to the one I drove in college. So many fond memories of cruising the UT Campus, Fraternity Row and "the Strip" in Knoxville in that car. I hope mine is still alive and well somewhere, but this one is as close as I can get for now.
BJ

How Does A Posi Work? It Just Does!
Posi works great! Apologies to The Boss that there was no one available to Video this. I can testify that it was real...and it was awesomely loud and smokey! Every shipping/receiving clerk in the building came to their shipping doors to see what that awesome sound was. The smoke hung in the air and for a few minutes, the smell of burned rubber filled their nostrils and they smiled!

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.
