From Daniel Bahr:

Hey everyone, I am just now following up to my original post from
February 2nd in this thread with pics of my GTO! Thank you for your
help getting these pics posted Baron. Your assistance is greatly
appreciated!

Oh and FYI, the engine, transmission, suspension are all rebuilt and
restored since these pics were taken and my original post was
made.--and new tires too. ;-)"

Some of you guys may be interested in this "snowmobile" I found posted on the Minneapolis Craigslist on Friday nite.

The sled is cool, but what about the black 69 GTO in the background?

Looks like there's at least 3 '69 GTOs in the background - cool.

Why is it that after viewing that, every time I put "craigslist.com" in my browser, it immediately takes me to "http://minneapolis.craigslist.org" ?
Nevermind...I think I figured it out.

Thanks, you too. So has anyone contacted the seller about the Goats? My plate is full (too many Pontiacs at the moment), or I would myself...

That craigslist ad is mine.

The snowmobile is a friend's and is for sale. He may part it out and sell engine seperate.

The GTO's are all 69's and none of the ones pictured are for sale however I do have several other 69 GTO project cars for sale if anyone is looking.

GTO JOHN, I fiqured you would respond, as I know you love to hunt down old Goats and live in the Minneapolis area. I had no idea it was your posting. Funny! Hope I did not stir things up for you, in a bad way. Now we all know those cars are in good hands.

Ha ha no problem FURBIRD. Now we have national exposure on the snowmobile. The only problem I had was that you posted the ad here for all to see instead of PM me first with all the juicy details so I could go get the Goats!

Sorry I slipped up GTO JOHN. Next time I see 3 or more unrestored 1969 GTOs sitting on private property, I will give you a PM!
By the way, what the heck is a single stroke engine?

Now your thinking! of course I would pay a generous finders fee for any good leads. I was just up in Andover tonight too. Never saw squat for old Ponchos sitting in yards.

I have no idea what a single stroke engine is. I just wrote what my buddy told me it was. I know zip about sleds and preferr to keep it that way.

My son tells me his social teacher has 3 GTOs. If fact last week he told a story to the class about when he graduated from High School, he went straight to work to save up for his dream car, a 1970 Judge. Bought a brand new one, but its long gone now. Of course my son was the only one that knew what it was. I have raised him as a Pontiac nut, like me. I better schedule a parent/teacher conference soon. I need to get to know this guy!

Default 1973 TA

I found my 1973 Trans Am Super Duty 4 years ago. I would say about 5 years ago I heard my Uncle mention he's got a '73 TA in a barn. He then went on to explain how he's the original owner and wanted to leave it for his son(my cousin). I began to push my cousin to see if he actually wanted it. Luckily for me he had absolutely ZERO interest. It's all original, 70,000 mile car. These pictures are where I first saw it, and brought it home...

Here's our storage technique for valuable vehicles:





The car sat like this from about 1974 through the early 90's, when I got it running again and de-tuned it for street use. It sat with 4656.2 miles on it that whole time...

Here's a pic from today:

To all you people who find these cars just sitting in barns and fields, consider yourself lucky. I haven't ever seen any type of car in a barn around here. I can't believe people just find these things and take them home. It must be like Christmas finding an old car like that.
