The RV parking was to far off the playing field for us so hooked up at the Residence Inn. Arrival is the same maybe closer to noon knowing this crew.
Would love the help from my fellow sd bud's. Nothing like Team Work the Wonder Pets always say. Ahhhhhhhhhh, have that three year old running around you know! its not all Lighting McQueen.
EvboCo, is trying and hopefully things fall into place and it happens.

I have some questions and pictures of the car I purchased last month. On the SD registry by vin this was the 12th car made and the first Bucaneer red car, any feedback on this? Second question, my block cast date show Nov 11 72 and a engine # 751974 but what I have seen on early cars were in 5 range not 7? Thrid, Pontiac dealership installed the roll bar see receipt and read my post about the history, I want to leave it what do you think? Fourth look at the repo window sticker, no fm, rear window defog or rear speaker, dealer installed?

Update on the car, I removed the engine and tore it down to inspect it, looks good the machine shop who last rebuilt in 75 Cope Bros. are going to inspect everything just to be sure. I purchased a NOS rear tailpanel and a trunk floor. What about repo 73 rear bumper, center spoiler and trunk lid junk or ok? Waiting on parts then off to the body shop.

Just a comment, I love the smell of a unrestored GM muscle car that's kept in dry storage for many years, I now have three and they all smell pretty much the same, a 69 ram air iv judge, a 71 gs stage one vert, and now the sd car, I just sit in them and it's like going back in time, I graduated in 1973 and the smell brings back the memories, which can be very powerful,when you just sit in the car alone and take it in. I had a 67 GTO and my much of youth was experienced thru this car, my steady gal sitting on the console, drag racing buddies, cruzing, crazy burnouts, going to parties, 8 track music, drive in movies and yes the back seat, you name it, much of the fun I had, happened in my car. Am I crazy or anyone else experience this? Its almost like a new car has its own odor, so does a GM unrestored car with original carpet, seats, dash, door panels etc. I have had Mach 1s, cudas, cougars, tbirds just not the same?

I will post more picts of the car in a couple of days including the 1973 accident report, dealer check in sheet, etc.

Just because it is the 12th car listed in the registry doesn't mean it is the 12th car made. There could be literally hundreds of car built prior to yours that the current owners have just not put in the registry. The goal of the registry would be to get every SD built registered. It is a long way from that goal.

Good luck with the car. More pictures, of course, would be great!

I counted 118 of the 252 produced in 1973 on the SD registry that leaves 133 not registered. The SD people are a tight knit bunch and I know some people don't want their vin out on the web, but the most knowledgeable folks hang out here, hence the question. I was not talking about Bucaneer red TAs in general only SD cars which came out in June of 73.

Sorry to hear that Evans, I was looking forward to seeing the car - bring it anyway!

Looks like SDB and I will be a little later than planned arriving Wednesday. Bob has to wait for the wife to finish doing all her girley stuff so we'll be heading out about 10:00 putting us in Dayton about 2:00 or 2:30. See you, Brew and Sean there!
