Restoring my Grandmas 69 GTO
My Grandma bought this GTO brand new on 6-20-69 for $3637.54. She traded in a 66 GTO 4spd tri-power car for a credit of $1550
 My grandma (Nana) was 52 years young when she bought the 69 with a 4spd I grew up 2 bocks from Nana and she was baby sitter for myself, sister and brother. I rode in this car ALL the time. It was her only car until 1988 and she drove it almost daily. It was very common for her to "burn the carbon out" and race it up to 90-100mph. Third gear is as new in this vehicle as she almost always shifted from 2nd to 4th. She loved this car and gave it to me before she passed away 9-10-2001, she was spared seeing 9-11. I have been working on a body off restoration for years now as time (read that 4 kids and wife) and money (read the same way) do not allow me to get much done fast. I plan on posting photos of what progress has been done to date and of progress made as I go. Please fell free to post comments. Ps, my spelling and grammar suck, you have been warned!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
