Hello all, new member here.
I'm Tommy Farmer, 57 years old from Wilmington NC and currently evacuated due to Hurricane Florence. As a young man, I owned a 66 GTO. Bought it as a junior in high school and drove it for about 5 years. It was a VERY cool high school ride...  Car was totaled, and life went on. Fast forward almost 40 years, my wife and I have reached a point in life that we decided to look for a muscle car. I knew what I wanted... We started looking back in may and by late June had found the right car. A fully restored 66 GTO down in Florida. Had an inspection/appraisal done, flew down took the test ride and made the deal. Put the car on a transport and brought her home. We love the car and have found out that Pontiac people are just great. Thanks for the great forum, Tommy |

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.
