Yes it is crystal turquoise. It pops in the sun and is mellow in the shade.

If this car went through the shark tank it would get destroyed!

Dealer locations
Here is a street view of the original dealer of my latest car, a 69 Leans 4dr hardtop, sold new in Eugene Oregon. Now just a city parking lot

Figured I'd mix it up with some new shoes. I wanted it to look stock so folks would do a double take.

I have to admit I like the thin line red or white wall tires on these "A' bodies.

Appreciate the comments. I tend to agree about narrow white or redlines. I was pretty specific with Diamondback about the redline on the 17s since there’s not much sidewall to work with. I think they came out great. Next up is a 1” lowering kit. It’s been relatively bone stock for so long, it was getting boring!

Now with UMI 1" lowering springs. Took a little finessing on the front springs to get them where I wanted.

Verdoro 68: "Now with UMI 1" lowering springs. Took a little finessing on the front springs to get them where I wanted."
Very nice, indeed! Love the red-lines. Are those a more modern looking Rally II? I'm leaning towards that for a future upgrade. Did I miss what size rims (17's?) and tires? Thanks! Jim.

Thanks! They are Year One Rally IIs. 17x8 up front and 17x9 in back. I actually ended up cutting a little more coil off the front springs after that pic. My wheel/tire/spring saga is here: https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...1228&p=6147522

Modern 'Crystal Headlight' Option, 5.75"
Wanted to share a modern halogen headlight upgrade I did as a direct replacement for the standard 5.75" bulbs. It really changes the look of the front end!
- 5.75 in. Crystal Headlight - United Pacific #31386 - Summit $36 each, cheaper on eBay...

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.
