Do what we can on our own individual level. Its a good thread. Thanks to Scott for starting it. Did a little clean up in the garage Sunday to see where I am at and get back at it. Can not let another year go by without running the car. |

I don't knock this forum or its members- a valuable resource for this old Pontiac fan (built my first Pontiac V8 in 1959 and turned 80 before my first run on a landspeed track).

Car was owned by Wayne Garrison. Changed hands a couple times after he passed. Jaybird455 on here had it and offered it to me. It's a nice piece and could not pass it up. I'm repowering it with the 525 aluminum wide port spray engine in front. Currently has a 505 with high ports.

Beautiful car. I like the colors--reminds me of a friend's GTO years ago.

This particular forum could use a few different areas? Some of the "race" stuff is a bit diluted with "not so much RACE oriented" stuff
BUT I can say I have posted several things in here that I would consider "TECHNICAL" secret squirrel kind of knowledge questions and have been VERY appreciative of the replies. The average STREET folks are probably NOT going to have many tech tips on ...installing a 1 pcs rear seal, lifter valley brace install, pushrod cup differences...etc. While not exactly RACE stuff...still quite technical for a moderate user (or someone who hasn't wrenched on 1 in 15 yrs.  I would like to see a FUEL INJECTION section... |

Nice addition, and nice shop. If things work out for me I will have a shop in a year or so. My own Pontiac Land.
Bad time to build though, cement will be expensive. |

Thanks Tom. Good eye on the year. Most seem to think it's a 67 due to the grills. I like a 67 front with 66 rear lights.

I owned at one time a 64, 65, and 66 (at the same time).
Stored the 65 and 66 at my uncles dealership. Both were southern Florida cars. My uncle the Pontiac dealer said you need to move a couple of these cars off the lot. So I asked which one I should keep. He said keep the Tri-Power M/trans 64 Convertible. 1st year of the GTO and will be the one to keep. The 65 would have made a great race car. I later bought a 64 Chassis car (14/32 tubs, custom frame, rack and pinion, etc). Basically rust free. He was right. Tom V.

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.
