Yes, I do. But for some reason that I can't ascertain, everyone disavows the 1972 Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Memphis- even the organizers of the recent events. But the little bronze plaque is still pasted to the dash in the mild-custom '64 Ranchero my wife and I drove there (oh- and my first-born son, although he wasn't born until Jan '73). My son still has the car, which I gave to him as a high school graduation present. It's still very driveable, although it needs a repaint (the eight coats of rainbow-flake epoxy enamel is very cracked). Next time it's out of storage, I need to take a photo of the plaque.
These photos are from '72- before leaving, and halfway to Memphis.
[Its only "Pontiac connection" is the '62 Tempest front bumper]
