I purchased the car new in 1969. The car is in excellent shape except for the nose piece. The nose piece has deep cracks and needs to be replace. Please advise if you know any after market source. I have not had much luck at the salvage yards. Thank you.

There is/was a company making a fiberglass replacement but I can't find the name. I think the company advertised in POCI's newsletter (Smoke Signals).

I had to have one sculpted by a fiberglass shop, but since then I found a source, but know of no one who has used one.
You can find the nose source by going to the web site memturbo.com and sniff around a bit, it is a guy that loves the chevy powered big canadian pontiacs but don't hold that against him!

have not seem the reproductions in person , but i have heard that they are not the best as far as fit. i would take your nose piece to a good body shop and see what they have to say. they might be able to repair it from the back side. might be easier than locating a replacement.

Ok I bit more info on the after market 69 big poncho nose cones. Price is $125
The company is obsoletechassisparts.com but I had no luck finding them on line. The guy who loves 69 big canadian chevy powered pontiacs is [email protected], maybe he could offer more info on the 69 nose source? Please post if someone discovers more specifics on 69 nose pieces as I paid dearly to have one custom made for my 69.

Http//memturbo.com/pontiac/ it's a 69 Pontiac full size web site. Same guy I think... I too am looking for the piece for my Bonneville. Some company in Canada was remaking them and I saw that in the POCI, but haven't seen the add for a while.

The big cat and the bonne for 69 have the same nose piece, a 68 and 70 are both different and do not have the same nose piece.
If you have found a nice original that you can't use I would be interested in buying it for a spare. [email protected] over here in Spokane> Whenever I park somewhere with my fiberglass custom build nose I am always concerned that some cigarette smoking fat hog driving a beat up old dented up import will back into my nose!

Big Pontiacs of the late '60's and early '70's are known for the Jimmy Durante nose. I have a lead on a '69 nose. If my son doesn't want it I will let you know. Thx.

UPDATE:
I just ordered one over the phone. Be advised that the price is $125, plus $14 shipping, as opposed to the $100 price listed on the website. He claims shipping will take about a week. Will update the board with pictures and evaluation when it arrives. |
