I have one but some idiot painted it black. Has to be the worst paint job ever. He even left the decals on the car wen he painted it and then tried to do the bandit thing to it. Put new decals over the old ones and then got ahold of a can of gold spray paint. I think the whole car was rattle caned! I was planning on painting the cae black but have to admit the blue is growing on me. I can't waite when I get to have the fun of trying to remove two hood birds

Thanks, I've had 14 years,I'm the third owner, the interior is original except for the headliner and sound system.




The engine compartment has been altered abit,I'm running those nice aluminum cast valve covers that say pontiac on them,the engine has been completely de-smogged and slightly warmed over,but still retains it's cast bottom end,the entire drivetrain is match#,unfortunately I don't have a pic of the engine.
