An odd ball Pontiac I haven't seen in years - early '80s J2000 hatchback.

Not a parking lot but a nice car. Captured on the 118 Fwy in Simi Valley Ca.

Oy, when I see cars like this J2000, it makes me think of PONTIAC, We Build Excrement and PONTIAC, The Beginning Of Extinction....

Default Nice 68 Impala

Caught this one yesterday in the supermarket lot. I've seen it cruising around town the past several weeks and finally got a chance to speak with the owner. Car has 126,000 original miles, original interior and one re paint. Sure is pretty....

Nice.
Only thing you missed was a close-up of what looks to be an original dealer emblem.

My brother, dad and I went to Top Notch burgers on Saturday and in an awesome coincidence got to see a car group get together

took these pictures after we ate. Also many of the cars left as it was starting to rain a little on and off

















sorry for the slight blur, I had the camera on my phone on a long shutter to get better night pictures

Howdy Captain,

Lucky coincidence this time. Come back on any second saturday of the month, to see it again. The place is also famous for being used in several scenes in the movie Dazed and Confused.

Nice collection of cars. Is that a lowered white C/10 with skirts in the back ground of the first picture?

Im going to try to make it this coming saturday in my Impala. That is if I can change out the harmonic balancer

Yea it was really nice, had big charcoal colored wheels, but by the time I made the rounds it was gone, there was a stock green C10 a couple places over, looked really original

There was another black late 79 Trans Am that I missed snapping

It had been going on second saturdays, but they may be changing it, or adding a second day. I am not part of the group, just a past attendee. In any case, I like that event. I haven't been in a while (since April or so), so glad to here it is going well.

Yep -

Our enemies used to booby trap the roads/paths by stringing wire across between the trees. Driving through those unawares will decapitate anyone in the vehicle.

That fixture breaks the wire before it can do any damage.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
