Thumbs up BACK TO THE TOP... SD cars @ POCI!

Love this post and wanted to bring back up.
Here are some pics from this past POCI/GTOAA Convention.
I'm sure most have seen them, but what the hell.
Enjoy!

Thumbs up My personal favorites...

Watching these get unloaded on Tues, was bit hairy, but all ended well.
It was a real treat for me to see them roll off, up & around and onto the upper level.
Awsume sight & Sounds!

Hey Brian,

On the previous page, at the bottom, Keith Seymore posted pics of a Royal cat with a red roof racing.

Well, whoever came up with the idea to paint a red roof on those cars back in the day should be shot. That red roof looks like $h!t on what is otherwise a beautiful car.

Old Catalinas look great with a complimentary roof color

A red roof on a blue/silver car looks like $h!t, period. You're only disagreeing with me because you have a hard-on for outspoken conservatives.

Further pics have surfaced of the Stokes Firebird. Fender lettering says 'Firebird by Pontiac'. Car is 426 powered , not Pontiac powered, just for the record.
That explains why I had never heard of it.

Chill out Mister !
I have no hard on for any man, I guarantee that.

A buddy of mine picked up a '64 Catalina not long ago. Guess what he's going to do?
Different colored roof
We say
You say
That is the way the world is sometimes

I was at an indoor car show all weekend (see http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...=594667&page=2 for photos) and Mr Wangers and I were working the same display.

During a break in the action I asked him specifically about the red roof/grey roof differences. He said that the car started out with the body colored roof because, at that time, it was intended to be more of a "stock" racer. When GM banned any activity in racing that essentially caused the creation of the "FX" classes. That allowed Jim to deviate more from stock and do something more eye-catching with the paint scheme, so the roof was painted red at a later date.

About Us

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.
