Not a question to the poster, but could it be that PHS has made the Pontiac crowd lazy?

I and countless others have tracked down original documentation for other makes and models. I guess some would be amazed what can be found by tracking down past owners.

I've got a Corvette in my shop that has a Hollywood past, some racing history and the not so usual hardtop only option. None of these facts I would have known without research. Nothing spectacular, but nonetheless interesting. I'm now in negotiations with the original owner. He held onto the original docs for sentimental reasons. So far I have only copies, but it is likely the docs and car will be reunited one day soon (he's old)... and I won't have to pay him a cent...
