Sorta vintage .... me showing my mom the new paint I just put on the GTO, circa 1976, Tenn. I don't think I wore a pair of shoes until I joined the military

I was 17 in 1976 and my older sister had recently aquired a verdoro '68 Tempest sedan. I think that was what started my Pontiac bug but it didn't fully surface until 1980. I would have killed to have a GTO like that in high school. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't though. |

Here is the original paint job. The colors in the previous photo were actually green and gold ... very metallic, It think Lincoln Continental colors.
This is graduation day of course ... I've posted this before. Car was stock except for the mirrors and the "Corvette" wheels. And ... yes it might have been better if I had never gotten this car ... it ended up being the reason I joined the military (promise to my father after a crash), it was the reason I left the military (six years, then awol to take care of my car), the reason I built my first house (a place to put it), and why I am here (info to restore it) ... First ticked I got with this car at 17 was Wreckless driving and 100+ pursuit. They dropped the pursuit charge as I was only going over 100mph in course of slowing down from their original siting JohnnyB PS. This was the DAY I bought it. If had only known then ... I should have listened to my friend Ted at the graduation party who solomonly told me "Johnny, don't play with it, it ain't no toy." Last edited by dataway; 11-16-2015 at 12:11 PM. |

Dark green and gold ...actually looks pretty good ... mostly because in this picture you can't see the "graphics" I added to the front fenders and hood

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.
