Wow, no decent trade offers, and not 1 single cash offer for complete car or roller.
So, is there anybody on this site that will make a serious cash offer for any part of this car ? It seems that buying is easy(if you have the cash), but selling is hard, even if the price is reasonable. Just wondering if anybody is selling anything in the classified section. Or is there just a lot of stuff FOR SALE ?

To answer one of your questions about the rear ends. Some very early built 73 GTO's had an 8.5 rear with bolt in axles in them. My car came with one but it is now buried in my parents old back yard where the pool use to be. It had bolt in axles but I blew it up in DC when stationed there in 1976. It shows them in the old parts book if you have one from early 73 , but Pontiac went to all C-clip style axles after about 3 months of the build. They were built with the clutch style posi to. The only rear end that will bolt right in to the 73-77 A-bodies are just those, the earlier ones & later ones are a no go. Also the wagons are the same width.

OK, thanks for the info !
 I've never really had any problems with C-lip axles, so it's probably not worth the $$ to switch to bolt-in. I figure anybody who knows what they are, would want max $$ for one. A complete 9" Ford to fit, is around $2k. So, if you had to add a new posi, gears, set-up, and a brake job, to an 8.5, after purchase, the 9" would probably be a better value. Hey, just thinkin out loud. http://www.quickperformance.com/9-Fo...7_p_20387.html |

You can Google your zip to mine & see how far it is and the quickest route. Looks like I'm about 700 miles from Augusta, GA, I-20 most all the way. http://www.distancebetweencitiescalc...o-la-71251-usa A few years back, I had a Ventura shipped to me from Topeka, KS. It cost about $550. I just Googled the distance. It's about 680 miles. So, unless shipping has gone up a lot, you should be able to get a car shipped from here to South Carolina, for less than $700. Obviously, I don't know for sure, tho. If you're thinking about buying my Bird, you might oughta make a decision soon. A guy has called me twice saying that when he comes home for Christmas, from working construction up North, he'll buy the roller, less engine/trans, if I still have it. I told him to send me $500, to let me know he's serious, and I'd hold it for him, til Christmas. But, he declined, saying he's not absolutely sure he'll be able to get home for Christmas. So, unless somebody buys it before then, I'll just wait to see what he does. The engine/trans is still in it, as of this post. Last edited by ponyakr; 11-25-2016 at 08:48 PM. |

Just out of curiosity, I Googled a shipping quote, from here to Augusta. The 1st one was $809, on an open trailer.
https://www.montway.com/quote/shippi...ret=4a561cdee5 So, there are probably cheaper rates out there, since there is lots of competition. This site shows it for $750. https://www.autotransportdirect.com/quote/?step=3 This site estimates closer to $500. https://www.uship.com/ship/estimate/...vaS22aezWrMHoz Last edited by ponyakr; 11-25-2016 at 09:30 PM. |

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.
