There is somewhere but long story short, the original owner died last year and had the car in his insulated garage for 30 yrs. Shut it off in the garage Jan 1980 and never touched it again( I have the Wisc. 1980 plates off the car. Anyways I love G.P's and saw it last Sept. on the Pontiac/Oakland website. His son was in charge of it and thought it was in very poor cond. and offered it to someone if interested or it was going to the recycler. Called him right away and offered him $200 recycling weight and he said O.K. Called a trucking co. right away and had it sent to me in N.H. When it arrived it was nasty and grimy and the engine was seized. Unlocked the engine in two days and we pulled and scrubbed the interior. I shined up like a new penny. With some work it's been a great car and still goes like hell. I take it to shows as a survivor. Have a quarter panel being donted to me too! Been great on hot summer days with the cold A/C. I love it and it loves me back!
