pics
I just took some pics of my personal upgrades for my comfort and ease of driving. My car is not probably never will be a show car,so I don't care about points and such awards.It is a highway cruiser that since I have had it has gone to Chicago too mnay time to mention,plus to DC to see the wall,Niagra Falls,Montana and all states in between ,down Rt 66 to the Santa Monica Pier back via I 10 to New Orleans up tp Memphis and back ,back being Southwestern Michigan,in the 23 yrs that I have owned it I have logged about 180,000mi,with one engine rebuild,redone upholstery , new top and hydraulic cylinders,pump and lines.I added some front lights because for some reason people can't see me comming they are hooked so they only come on the ignition side of the switch because when you go to a drive in you don't want the lights on or have to unplug them some how,I put a solid state regulator(year correct) so I can adjust my voltage if need be,I hard mounted gauges for ease of sight and I put a hood tach on to cover up a bubble in the hood.Here are some pics Larry

Larry - you are a big time big car road warrior. Love the fact that you are driving your Poncho everywhere. While I appreciate the work that goes into "trailer queens" they just seem a bit useless to me - Pontiacs were meant to be driven.

That's a beautiful car. I'd like to say it's got more character than the whole lot of trailer queen cars but rather than speak unknowingly I'll just say that for sure it's got more character than mine - which I haven't driven in over a month!!!
Keep it on the road! |

driven
Well JD I did not buy my car for people to look at and "say what a nice car",I got it because I like it and enjoy driving it.I have owned a couple of 50's and 60's Caddys and 98 Olds' and the ride and driveablity is the same if not better than them.This summer was a good summer for around the area driving(gas prices) and top down cruising,I didn't put the top up once.........it's great seeing others on this forum that believe in driving their big Ponchos there is more to life that GTO's Larry

Larry,
I agree....nothing like dropping the top in nice weather, and "floating" around in a big '60s Bonneville! Vince |

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.
