Hello Pontiac people
 

Hello, I just joined your forum so just stumbling around a bit. I have a 69 GTO that I am restoring so might need help or advise. Not new to the car hobby or even Pontiacs in general. I found this car here in South Dakota. It is rust free body wise. I had been hit in the right front many years ago. I had a bent frame but right fender and hood were the only things hurt. So I replaced the frame and started building the car. Original drive train gone so starting over. It is a 242 car and appears to have been a 400 RAM AIR III 4 speed. Some ram air parts were in the trunk. I have a 400 4bbl and 4 speed now in the car. But trying to find missing parts. Anyway I will just start with this just to say hello. I am 67 years old and have restored many cars. I have in my collection a 68 Charger , A 70 Plymouth Superbird , A 70 Mustang coup , and a 70 Chevelle. Looking forward to being a Pontiac owner .

Thanks
Don :sorry:

Welcome to the PY forums Don. :)

I’m sure you’ll find plenty of helpful advice and information here as well as connecting with many of the parts you need in the classified forums.

Welcome and good luck with the restoration. Lots of good information on this site. You have the big 3 covered in your collection and that's cool. You will find strong brand loyalty to the Pontiac V-8 engine and lots of info as well.

My dad was a Pontiac man and I owned a couple over the years. My favorite was a 63 GP I put a 421 tri-power in it years ago out of a 64 Bonneville. Ran like a scalded dog.

Welcome from Manitoba.

Good luck with the project...lots of resources here

Superbird hey...cool!

Welcome. Please post pics of your collection.

Welcome! Sounds like a fun project. :)

Welcome, I have a soft spot for 69 GTO's as one was my 1st car.

Welcome. I figure Hide-Away headlamps on the Dodge, Plymouth huh, and maybe the 69 GTO?

Curious if ya think the GTO has the nicest interior of that collection?

Welcome Don, from over here on the other side of the state, near Sioux Falls!

welcome Don this is the place!

Welcome.

Welcome Don. You know it doesn't really exist if we don't see pics!

Actually I think of all my cars the 68 charger has the nicest interior. They were very comfortable and plush. Yes the charger and superbird both have hide away head lights. My GTO does not. The GTO did not have many options. Mine had an AM radio , no power steering or brakes and no A/C. It was a 4 speed car with ram air ( I am not sure if that was original as some parts were in the trunk and the hood was missing. It was liberty blue and had never been re-painted. The paint was so thin you can see the primed in most of the car. I am painting it carousel red and using the judge stripes. I thought those were such a good looking color. And with it not being a numbers car it really don't matter to me. My car did have a GTO emblem in the center of the dash that most don't seem to have. I was told this was on early 69's. I will try and post a few pictures.
Thanks

Haha I like that! I will get some pictures posted at some point soon. The car is a complete project. The best part is no rust. Something I am not used to. I replaced almost everything except the roof , doors , hood and front frame rails :gag: it had a little dent here and there but nothing big.

Here are the cars I have now minus the GTO.

Liberty Blue is an awfully pretty color too. Love it with a parchment interior.
Does it have the Ram Air pull cable under the dash?
Nice collection by the way..
