Newbie from Michigan
Hello forum members, just joined and Thank you for letting me join, as mentioned I’m in Michigan, just recently purchased a 1973 Pontiac GTO from a former member of this forum. I believe he got overwhelmed with the condition of the car and I must say I’m a little concerned as well. I owned a 73 GTO back before I got my license, I bought it from my brother before he was called to duty over seas in one of our Nations Military conflicts, but soon lost it due to a Step parent having it towed snd never seen again. So, I happen to see this one and made a hasty trade. The car was missing inner fenders which I just purchased a nice pair from California, I’m just buying a few parts at a time at this point and have a long road ahead of me. I’m not looking to build a show room / Barrert Jackson car, just one that I can enjoy a few local car shows and a cruise with my family. I come from a family that loved the GTOs. My brother has a 70 Rag top. I look forward to be. Part of this forum and I’m hoping help from the members here as well. Thank u

Welcome from south Georgia. It took me 7 years to complete my 67 but it was worth it.

Hello to all the members and fellow Michiganders replies !! I’m located in near Owosso, Mi. I’m looking forward to warmer temps so I can get cracking into this GTO !! I have lots of projects going on, restoring a 1983 Honda Shadow VT750, I was into buying cheap motorcycles and restoring them but lately that market has dried up due to others doing the same, so I went back to my other hobby- Lifted Trucks and sand dunes, then until I found this ‘73 GTO.

Welcome aboard Cafr119 and TAKerry. Life as you knew it will never be the same again.
 How to post photos with the Imgur.com website I use will be up in the Lobby in a bit. PhotoBucket no longer works if you only have a free account to store your photos. Enjoy guys.
