FYI,I know the owner of the front end!He has always said he would sell it to the owner of the car if it was found!He did but at a price that was very high for the condition it was in.If you had bought the car YOU would have had the right to buy it.This build was looked at from every way possible.I thought myself it should be restored as it left the factory but MANY thought it should be restored as raced.John had virtually all parts necessary to do either.I helped him get many and helped him find the fab guy for the front end.EVERYONE can play monday morning quarter back and judge the build but its done,way far done.John was told this may not be the venue to really sell the car and maybe to hold for Indy.He wanted to get it out there to get it visible and see what the market will bear.i know what the reserve was and pretty sure I know what would have bought it.John can now decide what to do in the future.Best of luck to him so he can move on and restore some other rare pieces of pontiac history.Tom
