Just looked through their site and noticed they had some videos of cars that had previously crossed the block. Looked through them hopeing they taped the '71 while they were at commercial. No such luck. Out of about 50 videos in the archive, there were only two Pontiacs, a low mile '67 GTO and restored '74 SD. The '74 TA looked really nice, red with red/white combo interior. Looked like a very good restoration but you didn't get to see much of the car. They never even walked around the entire car. They spent half the video shot looking through the restoration book the owner provided and the other half talking about the gas crisis of the era while the cameraman shot the front end of the car.

Bottom line is they just don't get respect. The bidding on the car went into the 60s and finished at $67k. Not bad money at all, but they didn't even comment on it. They did mention the SD and that it was the top engine choice but not much else. Not sure they ever will get the same respect as other muscle cars and frankly not sure I care. Means more cars for me and cheaper prices.
