I had my 69 T/A at a show and was told that they didn't make a T/A until 70.

Still around and pretty sure he still owns it John.
I think I first saw it in Holyoke/Springfield, MA sometime around 1990 or 91?

 You can even try to educate the experts on the 242 and they still can't grasp the concept.

I was fueling up my black 69 GTO several years back and some kid rolls up on a skateboard and stops to look at my car. First time out of his mouth is "I'm thinking LeMans" I laugh out loud and say "no it's a real GTO" and pointed out the differences between the two. He takes another look around and skates off saying nice car.
The fact that he would blurt that out with his first words took me by surprise. Some peoples kids.... |

I had my 72 HO convertible out in town shortly after I got it & was putting air in the tires at a station right off the highway when a guy comes walking quickly over to me and looking at the car says "GTO?". I said, "no, LeMans". Disappointed, he walked away.

Not a story about one of our Pontiacs, but I had my L79 Chevelle at a show. A guy was looking it over closely and nodding in approval. Then he saw the engine compartment and told his friend, "The guy did a great job restoring it and then ruined it by chroming all that stuff on the engine." I told him it came that way from the factory but I don't think he believed me....
 People get an idea in their head as to what is and is not correct and just can't get past it!

My 69 non-Judge GTO is painted CR. It sports a spoiler, but no stripes or Judge badging of any kind. I'm guessing there weren't many non Judge CR goats in 69?

I also have been told that my 69 GTO is a fake Judge.
My 69 [ I added ] rear spoiler, RAMAIR set up and Hood Tac. No ware on the car is it stripped or does it say JUDGE I tell people. I just tell them you could get those parts back then.

I don't think my survivor Judge has been accused of being a clone, although it has been mistaken for the Dukes of Hazzard and Dazed and Confused cars on many occasions. Shortly after buying the car, I had it at a swap meet and was sitting nearby. A young woman was looking at the car and figured out that the lug nuts were incorrect (they were) and couldn't wait to find me to point that out. She found me and breathlessly (and proudly) announced that my lug nuts were incorrect, loud enough so that anyone within earshot could hear the results of her fine detective work. I told her I knew that, but thanks all the same. Strange.

If someone told me my car was fake, I would reply "no, it's a real car".

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.
