I own a stock 72' GTO that I would like to have fully restored (frame-off). Mostly exterior work, with minor engine work (67,000 miles). I would prefer a "dedicated GTO" shop with an excellent reputation. I live in Dallas, but location is secondary to quality. Any recommendations??

The most noteworthy restorers are Scott Tieman, in Portland, Mich. and Gary Cave in Clinton, Md.
I think that there is a good one in the Houston area, but I don't remember his name. He did a friends '67 Corvette 427/435 roadster. Won "best of show" the first time out at a National Corvette meet in Florida. |

The salient point here should what type of frame-off resto does one want? Is car going to be driven?
Big difference price wise between the following frame-off jobs: -high point driver with bunch of nos parts used. -a national restorer's interpretation of concours. -highly researched, every detail, cutting edge concours.

There is a guy in the Dallas area that specializes in the 2nd gen firebirds but has done some GTO's. I have no experience with him personally but you might check him out.

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.
