My wifes grandmother used to live in a apartment building that had an underground garage. In it sat a 66 GTO convert with a Tri Powewr Ram Air set up. After a close inspection of the car at night when nobdy was around, I found the tags to be last registered in 1982. The car had an inch of black soot on it from the garage. After realizing how rare the car was (and not to mention the car was in graet shape execpt for the four flat tires),I tried many times to contact the owner leaving him many messages with an offer to buy the car at what ever his price was. He never returned my calls. This went on for a year. After a few months fro mthe last time i left him a message, the car dissapeared and I never saw it again.

The only thing that I can think of was that the car must have had some sentimental value to it. I would have paid big bucks for this one.

so did the "jetallman" ever get pictures of the gto's that were sitting in the field? Can you tell me if the beauties are still there and where they are? My dad had 67 GTO that he sold in 74/75 to a kid in South St.Louis County, MO and is now looking for the car 32 years later. he doesn't have the VIN number is at a stand still in finding his "first love".

I hate when people do that, grrr. My uncle has a 1972 Trans Am, Buccaneer red, tan interior, shaker hood. Has been sitting in his field since I can remember. My dad said it's been there at least 20 years. It has a snake nest in the engine bay and the headliner is sagging, of course the paint is faded and the grass is grown up underneath. I have continued asking him about it for over 8 years and he says "I'm going to restore it and give it to Bradley" (my cousin/his son that isn't the slight bit interested in anything cars, blah). One of these days I'll catch him in a jam Non-pontiac story though, seen an early 60's late 50's Thunderbird, black with black interior sitting in-front of an abandoned building near my house for over a year (since I moved to pensacola). I have never seen anyone near it, has 4 flat tires. Would make a GREAT project car! If I wasn't trying to focus all my money to my 69' I'd try to buy it too lol

I say we should just steal their cars. If they've been sitting there for over 20 years, they've most likely not been registered for a loong time. Just take the damn things. Bastards deserve to get them stolen.

Exclamation Pontiac Carburetor Guy

Hello fellas,

I used to be a carburetor supplier for most [if not all] the carb reman. companies here in So. Cal for years. Over the years I held on to some special carbs and I am now starting to unload them on Ebay. I found this website and I'm posting to ask if you guys need any Pontiac carbs I may be able to help you. To give you an example, I have a few pontiacs in stock, these are units that need to be restored but are complete.
7040267 SR, 7029268, 7040564, 7042262, 7054908...
I have access to more Pontiac carbs in early to late 70's....
if you need one just email me and I will get you the carb...just dont ask me for the RA carbs.....those truly are rare.
