Not meaning to take away for the tile of this thread, but maybe possibly add to it.....

There's a picture here and around, of Jim Mino and Truman Fields at some event that I'm not that familiar with PRI???
Mr. Mino passed this past year. I am fairly certain that Truman is still around, although not getting any younger. My good friend and Pontiac enthusiast that I went to Pontiac events with passed in Oct 2018. He owned Trumans 72 GTO from 1980 to 2012. It is now (thankfully) owned by a seldom posting member here.

Anybody got a line on Truman???

Truman's on here (don't remember his screen name) but as of a few years ago he was going strong and hanging around Ellison Engine Service in Cincinnati. (Elmwood.)

Bob,
Truman's last post was 2008. Not sure what was going on with him, then...
For some reason none of us are getting any younger

Truman's user name here is Hard Times, same as was on his firebird race cars. The name was not used on his 72 GTO, though...

From 389 Member -
"I heard Herb Adams was fired from GM for intentionally deleting the intended defects into the seventies mid-sized cars frame, chassis and body molds. "

Man - I never heard that. Anyone have more info on whey Herb left? I thought it was because he had enough of GM.

So some Search info I found:
"Adams thrived in the Advanced Design group at GM's Pontiac division in the late 1960s and early 1970s, playing a pivotal role in the creation of the first Trans Am and, later, the Super Duty 455 engine. But frequent regime change at the division and less autonomy led him to part ways with Pontiac."

And This:
"It was the Herb’s last day on the job at Pontiac as he had been asked to leave because his racing efforts were becoming all too obvious to General Motors."
