To our mutual PY members,

Although we have posted quite a few of these images on the PY website we wanted to share the www.TachRev.com website postings and include "The Rest of The Story" about our cars and the images we have posted intended as an encouragement to all that are seeking their "Dream" Pontiac(s)...there are still MANY deals to be found!

Going along with the theme of Muscle Car Bargains in Hemmings Muscle Machines I thought that I should update you.

(2) GTO’s we purchased this year we paid less than $5,000 for each one.

1967 GTO 400 4-spd with A/C – this was a daily driver for the past 17 years a woman within a mile from our home…I heard about this one at work one day and then brought it home. This is a complete running GTO with TEXAS rust (typical minor rust) and my wife was amazed at how much attention this car received at one of the local Saturday night meets with 200+ cars in attendance – she noted that their was a group of people around the car all night. I’ve had offers to sell it - as is - for more than 4 times what we paid for it but my wife won’t hear of it. This one – the 67 GTO - and our 1979 Y-84 Black T/A are her two favorites in our collection.

1969 GTO Roller ex-S/ST Drag car with a one piece removable glass nose, roll cage, etc. – I had it shipped to Houston from Arizona as you see it now for the princely sum of $400. This one is a “rough canvas” with many ideas about the final vehicle in my head for now.

We have the PHS documentation on both of these (and all 5 of our Pontiacs) and are in the process of collecting parts to build them both the way we want them.

Here’s a link for some images of both GTO’s:

I always love a great deal, just like the stories in the Tom Cotter books: The Cobra in the Barn, and The Hemi in the Barn. Both of these books are a must read if you have not had the pleasure yet, and they include vehicles of every make mark and location. After watching the February 07 Barrett Jackson auctions I never would have thought that I could have found a 67 GTO for less than $5k, let alone within a mile of our home in today’s inflated market!

Thank you for your time and I hope in some small way that this brings you some automotive pleasure. We encourage all to share in their Pontiac finds! It would be great to be able to have our own Pontiac section (or perhaps even a complete book dedicated to Pontiacs!) in one of Tom Cotters books titled "The Pontiacs in the Barn".

To submit your Pontiac stories email them to: [email protected] and make sure you tell him it’s from what you read in the PYwebsite!
