Here is the PHS of the car along with some recent outdoor pics to get some natural daylight on the patina.
You can see on the PHS that there are a lot of minor options under $15.00 (17 to be exact) of the 35 ordered. Oh how I wish that the A/C was an M-22 if I could change anything. Dennis |

So since the 621 Ride & Handling package was ordered, would those Honeycombs then be 15-inchers?

The original owner from Texas either custom ordered this car or it was loaded for showroom display to feature all the little options he bought, we'll never know. He was an Air Force Ssgt. and was eventually relocated to the Chanute base in Rantoul, Ill in the early 80's. Mike Robbins bought the car from him in 1988, so it saw 4-5 years of midwest winters and it did extract some minor surface rust on all exposed surfaces, but very minor thankfully. It is nicer and more solid than I was expecting, so that is a major plus. Mike told me the original owner (Carlton Green) carved (more like scratched) his initials in the plastic center of the horn button, and looking for it on Friday, did discover a 'C' & 'G' on either side of the Pontiac crest. It's hard to see because he very lightly scratched them in....neat history. Carlton may be the African American guy circled in the group photo from the '80's at Chanute. Dennis |

Forgot to mention the warm weather picture is when Reliable picked it up Feb. '15 in sunny warm Mojave, CA, and the cold weather picture is of when it arrived in Michigan a few days later with the temps at zero wind chill at -40...poor car.

According to this, 15-inchers were available, no? I suppose the only way to get it was with the Handling Package? |

I don't think you could even get a rear sway bar on a T-37? Or T-41?

748 LeMans received 15" wheels, don't know if the GTO was segregated from these though?

Driveshaft Correct?
I've seen driveshafts on olwer hp A-bodies from Oldsmobile, but I thought, especially in a 455 HO powered car, that it would have a solid continuous shaft from u-joint to u-joint???? It also has remnants of what looks to be a magenta stripe on it...

Think that's original? Check Dan's T-37 for comparison...
