It took me a while to get it. I can just imagine what they look like judging from his use of the dictionary/spelling guides.

That's an austrailian made tempest, they took the right hand drive to the extreme and swapped everything... It's actually called a TSEPMET.

Everything in all the pictures is backward, look real close. Alarm sign, Pontiac on the gas door, license plate numbers etc.

I missed that the first time! Should've just used rope.

I see tons of GTOs at shows using the old "gravity" method. I bolted mine down, then spun the car 2 days later. Good timing.

Interesting that the price in Chicago is over 10% higher than that in OH.

Lotta work, looks like a nice car, but way over the top for my tastes.

Ugh - the "more pictures" make it look way worse. Did that diamond plate ever look good? I just can't imagine someone saying "I want my dashboard to look like a '70s truck bumper." I notice he's coming down on the price.

At least he didn't kill a GTO.
If you ditched the gawdy hood & tunnel ram, it would be a decent looking ride. But then you'd have to spend untold $$$$ to quiet down that interior. Looks like a pimpified Peterbuilt.

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.
