I heard a rumor of that last weekend at Norwalk. Any details of how, where and condition it was found in? Love hearing stories surrounding these long lost cars.

It is truly amazing that all these cars are being found, period. So many rare SD cars, 69 Trans AM convertibles, super rare cars from other brands. It's really cool.

Only 3 of the Lemans survived with only one with the SD Powershift transaxle,all 8 of the 69 T/A converts did.Only 1 of the SD wagons survived,it has the Powershift trans axle.Both of the 63 SD Tempests im told survived.Not sure of the 13 63 SD SC cars but quite a few for sure.Royal car,2 M/T cars,the Arni car and I know a couple more for sure.Tom

Back about 30 yrs ago, my now ex brother in law was a GTO freak.
They moved to Texas and he had one of every year GTO made, a few convertibles, and a 66 he bought new in West LaFayette In. All were drivers, some nicer than others, none were pristine. I remember he traded out the engine in the 66 for a RA ? engine. I had no clue what a RA anything was then. He sold everything in the late 80's. Butt load of high perf parts. Wonder where they are now . . . . Girlfriend in HS, her dad owned Wells Pontiac in Richmond In, she always had a new Trans Am, GTO demonstrators, rag tops to drive. I didn't know what the HO on the hood stood for. She had to ask her dad. I was clueless. I drove all of them, just knew they were cool cars. 69-70-71 |

I have a Lucy Blue 1970 TA that was sold new at Wells Pontiac. They apparently sold ALLOT of HP Pontiacs from what I've seen.

Would be interested to hear the story on how this car was found.
Does it still have the powershift transaxle in it? The last missing car would then be the #50 pictured in my profile. |

Tom- did you see the re-creation of #50 being built that was on display in the midway at Norwalk? Paul Goldsmith is still alive and being consulted for details.
