Same on both sites as well and hope the a-bodysite gets back up and running! Not sure some members will end up on here?

Lyn.

I'm the same at both. Hopefully, when this is starightened out, it is posted here since getting to the a-body site is getting practically impossible. And, we can hang out here too.

Hello Everyone! Well I decided to also take the jump to Performance Years from the A-Body site. Same user name over here as was there. Maybe things will return to how it was on that site after things are fixed. Hey, we are a unique group of people with our love of the 73-77 A-Body, right?

(A few years ago on the Yahoo Can Am group, there were quite a few Can Am owners named Dave. It was sort of a running joke.)

Of course I do anticipate going back to abodysite when the switch is made but now I like the idea of having another place where a-body people are located. This does present a great opportunity to help promote our cars and maybe build up more of an appreciation of them by other Pontiac owners. I'll have to spend some time looking over and getting familiar with the layout of things here on PY. Though I visited it on occasion, I never got into it to really see what it is all about. It's also good to see familiar people\names here!

PY is pretty much for Pontiacs up to 1972. Our A-bodies are aliens here thats why everbody was/is at the Abody site.

Yes, there were quite a few. I WAS one of them. I sold my Can Am to......ANOTHER DAVID!!!!! I'm not sure if he will ever join up here or Abodysite. So, I'm still here and love checking in and seeing what everyone's up too. David

Here's a familiar '73 GTO on eBay. $41k or offer. Is there a special location here at PY where these "For Sale" listings should be posted?

Hey Castongu and Allard, glad to see you over here as well, it is really a great site. I like the A--body site too, but the PY forums usually always are up and running.

Dave

That is one beautiful GTO. I hope he's able to get his price this time. A few of those pictures he has on eBay, I haven't seen before. It's always nice to look at "eye candy".

I met up with Imran a couple weeks ago at an indoor motorama show in Buffalo. He really needs to make some room as he has a few other interesting projects he is working on and needs the space. Hoping this GTO goes to a good home. If I didn't have a mortgage to pay this car would be a nice addition to my fleet.

Did we ever come to any conclusions as to whether this car came built this way? We had a thread back over on the A-Body Site about it? I think someone mentioned maybe it's a very late 73. I thought the Opera Windows came out on a-body's starting in 74.

Yes, that was my theory. I know that some early 74 Chevelles with opera windows were just factory large quarter windows converted with sheet metal patches. Even the interior sail trim panel was large window trim with some padding material added to fill it in around the opera window.

TropicDave here, TropicDave there as well. And why, yes, as a matter of fact I do own a Can Am...

On the brighter side, I'm back to work as well after a two-month recuperation following open-heart surgery. Not a way I'd recommend for taking so much time off work. At least hopefully soon I can start putting some money back into the CA.
