Classical Pontiac
 
All,

I hope this doesn't violate any rules, but I wanted to let it be known that classicalpontiac.com has been revamped.

I know traffic there has dropped to almost zero lately, but if you are a member (or just want to see), stop by and check it out.

Bill

Thanks for the info. Used to be on there a lot.

Doesn't seem to be working. Entered my ID and password and went to a screen shot but won't do anything.

Have to check it out.

Here is the new link :

http://www.classicalpontiac.com/cgi-...rface/home.cgi

The old site is still up also

unruhjonny 09-20-2018 05:47 PM

logged in, err should I say, re-logged in as it migrated my profile;
I also found my Firebird and GA, and updated them so that they remained in the database!

I can't believe I came up with the right password. Probably been 10 years since I posted there. Thanks for the heads-up.

actually, I think they ruined it. That site now blows.

They don't have all the old conversations?
(tons of data were there)


:confused:

I signed up there several years ago. Never got any use out of that forum. Asked some questions but had no luck. Tried searching for topics but the search feature was inconsistent at best.

I like the various links in the "restore" section (I think that's what it was called). The simple compression calculator, and cylinder head lookup, was nice and simple.

thepontiacman 09-25-2018 06:43 PM

Logged in and it is just a banner page. Doesn't do anything. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or they are having trouble.

prostreet64 09-25-2018 07:50 PM

tpm, are you seeing the orange GTO? Have to click on the arrow to move into the site.

thepontiacman 09-25-2018 08:53 PM

clicked arrow and whole page is banner pics of cars across the page. It doesn't go forward from there.

tom s 09-25-2018 10:22 PM

Had no issue getting on.Rich is adding the restore stuff.Had a few of them up yesterday.Tom

This might be stupid but what is. The goal of the site?

It did that to me on Explorer. I had to bring it up on Chrome for it to work.

Never heard of it.

I could be wrong, but IIRC it predates this site.... err, the original version of this forum.

I personally know the owner of this site, and I don’t remember any Classical Pontiac reference. Hmmmmm:confused:

tom s 09-26-2018 12:45 PM

I signed up for CP late 1999 and on this site in Jan 2000.Tom

unruhjonny 09-26-2018 12:52 PM

why would "competition" mention "competition"?
lol

I think what was meant was that the Classical Pontiac site existed before this site. Classical Pontiac was probably the first Pontiac forum in 1996. Rich Miller wrote the software himself.

Then you should ask him about the time he helped keep that site from going under by sponsoring it for the good of the Pontiac hobby. Yes, PY (Chris) graciously helped keep that website afloat for a while after Ames pulled the plug. Maybe that was while you were a moderator for Gach on Pontiac Zone?
Ask Chris and let us know what he says.

I used to be on the Classical Pontiac site alot back in the late '90's - early '00's. There was lot of good info on the site and it was a good venue for cars and parts. I bought a bone stock '70 GTO advertised on the site just a few miles from my house in 2002.

The guy that started the site posted this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5vk...0C5057855&t=0s . Seems like a very cool dude and his Judge is amazingly similar to mine- even the mileage...
