Heck both my daughter and I will roll up the window and crank the heat rather then put the top up. She did learn it from me I am afraid. I have no toupee, or much hair for that matter.

70-73 Bird gripes:

Incorrect spoiler end caps. using later pointy end ones instead of sawed off bottom 70-73 ones.

Cars that came with rain gutter shiney trim (Actually applies to 70-81): Gets dinged / beat up, so people leave off when repaint. BUT, they leave ON the back vertical corresponding piece, goes back of side window channel above door edge corner. Looks really stupid without the rain gutter top part. Take it OFF also, duh.

70-73 Trans Am scoops hacked into Formula hoods. Do I need to explain this one, why it is beyond dumb?

70-73 with back bumpers painted body color or black. Please just buy a later one without chrome bumper. It is one of the coolest parts of a 70-73, so don't kill it.

L88 scoops hacked onto a bird hood, luckily they are a dying thing.

Traction Bars. Yeah they work kinda, but they reek of the 70's. Put them in the bedroom with the Farrah Fawcett poster.

Trans Ams with wheel flare spoilers deleted (Mostly seen 75 -81). I think you really want a Z28.

Esprit's made into hot rods with the emblem still on.. That is cool, but the Esprit emblem has to go. Conjures up images of fine dining, yachts, and golf courses.

About Us

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.
