Default New Member Introduction

I would like to introduce myself to this forum. I am a lifelong car guy and have a small collection. I have owned two Grand Prix in the past. I recently sold my 1980 Camaro Z28and was told by a couple of members on NastyZ28.com this is the best Pontiac forum. I look forward to learning more about Pontiacs!

Welcome....So, you've sold your Z/28, you've owned Grand Prix in the past....The question is, what Pontiac are you buying or thinking of buying that would bring you here now?
Oh yeah, pics of it too...

BTW a triple green '69 GTO is pretty cool IMO, and probably very low production.
Midnight green: Is that different than Verdoro green? If so, it's quite scarce.
The guy de-valued that car if you ask me.

I tend to agree with you and yes, Midnight is different that Verdoro and kind of rare...especially with the green top.

I thought green cars were very popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Yeah, black for sure. Black tops came with most every color car that had a vinyl top.
As for Green being popular back in the day...Why do you think there are so many of them?
