Bob, that car is really something. In what is was and is from the factory, and now the level of what you brought it back to (and beyond). It is freaky, jaw drop nice. I would have trouble driving it
 Seriously. Your dust comment makes me sad, being honest, sorry. It is the best for sure and hat's off is the point though.

Congratulations Bob, Darrell, Dave and all others associated with this fine piece of Detroit Iron! Rumor has it that the HO pointed very well at MCACN and might have even take home some specialty hardware. Well done. Was a great show and was good to catch up with the Pontiac contingent.

Well, Darrell and MPD knocked it out of the park....
The Black Car showed well at MCACN thanks to the contributions and support of many friends, the hard work and talent of Darrell and his team at Supercar Creations, and the help and friendship of My Pal Dave. We ended up with a Concours Gold Award scoring 997 out of 1000 possible points. We also won the Emerald Award for the best Pontiac appearing at the show for the first time. In addition, the Black Car received the Don Keefe/Poncho Perfection Pick Award as their favorite car. Pretty cool. Here's a few pictures...         Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Amazing job on the Black Car, Bob.
I gotta know: what did they take the three points off for? |

Getting a score of 997 out of 1000 is truly amazing at a very well Judged show! Each car Judged was given at least a 1 hour look over with intense scrutiny.
Easily a 1000 pointer except for loop in carpet, slight scratches in a very rare piece of rear glass with electric grid. And a artistic choice on rear. If points were given for exceptional rarity with a full list of options it would be well beyond that point level! As Chris stated it set the HO Formula on a higher level than ever before! A truly well deserved set of awards by a dedicated team for Pontiac gurus!

Yeah Steve, the carpet you installed just before I bought the car cost us a point. I knew to replace the tractor battery you swapped in before MPD picked the car up  , but I figured the carpet you installed was right and just freshened it with Rit Dye. It turns out the loop on the new carpet wasn’t the correct length loop for a ‘72. That’s easier to fix than a heated rear window with two small scratches, and cheaper than it was to buy an Antique Auto Battery..... All in all, a great outcome. I’ve only been doing this for a 6 or 7 years and can’t believe how fortunate I have been to meet so many great people, and have so much damn fun. Life isn’t just good. Life is great. |

What??? It's been so long - I thought that was the carpet that was in the car when I bought it in Canada? If not I have a bone to pick with ACC for selling me the incorrect stuff. And that was my best John Deere tractor battery Dagnabbit! It should have been worth at least three extra points (better than the damn repro battery that I had in the car that wouldn't hold a charge for more than a day and crapped out the day before he picked it up).
Oh well. Glad to hear you made it home safely. And as I said before I will be happy to refund all your money and take the car back as soon as you grow tired of it. :-) |
