True piece of art! I wish I could justify buying one. I want one just to set in my shop!

Thank you guys for your work and stick to the goal .Amazing. I remember back in 67 going into Pontiac dealer and ordering first an 886 then a 068 cam. I think sometimes that maybe the bathtub was in the parts book then? Just a dream.

At some point in time I'll be kicking myself for not bidding!

He has the software, tool path, and the CNC machine. All that's required is a big chunk of aluminum and a bunch of $$$, and I bet he would carve out a couple more! What a beautiful piece of Pontiac candy.

To a poor ol country boy, it's the difference between dreaming and owning.

If I hit the powerball, I'll have the billet edition...


Much thanks to all involved !
