[The Champ]

My dad was selling Pontiac's when the GTO first came out - so my '64 GTO Convertible is truly my dream car.

That said, my first car was a '60 Bonneville - will always have a special feeling for those cars.

In the fall of 1969, when the first Pontiac Trans Am (1970, Lucerne Blue, Ram Air, 4spd) to hit the dealership in Hibbing, MN came in, it was my dad's demonstrator for the first month. I used to rush home from school, eat real fast, so that I could go sit in it and row that 4 speed while listening to the radio (hey - this was small town America - dad always left the keys in it). I was 15 at the time. I need one of these.

Ahhhhhhhh yes these old cars sure do take us back. I wish there was a way to turn back time. Those days were un like any we will ever see again. The one good thing is we all still have the passion, and some of us can bring those times back by finding and getting that special car that we once knew in a different time and place. Ones we remember from our youth, ones that took our families places, ones we couldn’t wait to hop into behind that big ole steering wheel and pretend to be driving them, even making car sounds. ahhhhhhh yes so many memories.
