Jim Wangers
 

I read that Jim passed away today. Can anyone confirm? I hate to post this and be wrong. If so, may he Rest In Peace.

I read a post confirming this by Poncho Perfection.


RIP

Poncho Perfection magazine just made a post on FB so sadly most likely true. RIP Jim.

I got an email from Fred S. Copied to Padgett and to Cammer-6.

Sad day! R.I.P. Mr. Wangers.

Thank you, Jim, for your contributions to PMD, and our hobby! Neither would have been the same without you. May you rest in peace.

RIP Prayers sent.

Sad to hear. RIP Jim. You will not be forgotten.

RIP Mr. Wangers. Your vision for the GTO transformed a generation through brilliant marketing and advertising.

RIP

Nice Man, met him years ago.

Very nice man, I briefly chatted with him at the GTOAA Nationals at Bandimere back in 2012. Rest in Peace Sir, your legacy is secure!!

RIP Jim Wangers. Met him at Maple Grove Raceway, oh about 1992-3 ish, so 30 years ago, and Jim was quite old then.

Over the years I met Jim Wangers on several occasions. A true gentleman who was always willing to talk and answer any question. His contributions to PMD back in the early days has played a huge part in what our hobby is today. A true legend when it comes to muscle car history. RIP Mr. Wangers.

Rest in Peace Jim........he was the world's greatest Pontiac Enthusiast.
Here he is signing my glovebox door in 1997........

Rest in peace Mr. Wangers.

He did allot with his life. We should all learn from it. Rest in peace brother

Met him at the Long beach GTO years ago. R.I.P. sir.

Sad news.....RIP Jim.

RIP, Jim

Jim, and Big Dave Anderson (Beat the Tiger promo) used to have their booth close to our T shirt booth for many years at Norwalk, I used to get to shoot the breeze with both of them for a few hours each year.

When things would slow down at the booth Jim would get some paint markers, and make his way out onto the show field, looking for cars, glove boxes, core supports, to sign. Even after he was retired from advertising, he was one of Pontiacs best ambassadors.

His article about the 2004-2006 GTOs (not a real GTO) is what convinced me to buy my 2005 GTO........Keep up the Pontiac heritage, and hobby Mr Wangers, in a much better place!!!
