4.55 open would be one helluva one tire frier. I know what you mean, a 3.55 open probably.

That car is the twin to my 2+2 except for the tri-power. Same color, same interior, same tranny. Of course mine is currently the uglier of the two twins, but I am slowly trying to correct that. I could buy it for my wife. Then we would match. That would be romantic. Right???

I talked to Harry today. He is sending me samples with the price list. Looks like the engine is going to wait.(another week or 2) Harry is retiring first of the year. Patrick |

Actually, mine would agree to a convertible with air. Maybe once this one is done I can accommodate her with that.

$30k will get the EBAY car. I'm sticking the 4 speed in the 66 GP if it doesn't sell at Norwalk. Then a set of 17 inch Hurst rims. Then tubular a arms and coil over shocks. Then multiport fuel injection. And I'll still have $10k left over.

Hey, 12.8 was 300 more than I said. Keith, do you know for a fact the 30k is the number. If so, then that is a little ridiculous. It is a nice car and would make a nice car but restored it would'nt bring 30k.

I asked if he planned to relist, aand what it would take if bought now. I told him $15k was about what it would be worth, since it needs paint. But for $30k, i would not buy, I"d look for something like the 72 TA that sold for $35k last week. OR maybe one of the many 1st gen Firebird converts availabe for $20k done, OR maybe a firehawk convert for $20k, or a restored GP for $20-$25k....POint is you can get a lot more for that money.
I"d like to go after the car, since it's close, but I think it would end up needing about $15k to paint and fix whatever. |

Thats too bad. Someone could make that a real nice car but because he wants to make a kings ransom off of it, it will probably sit for a while longer, cause that much more damage and then become more of a chore to fix. I really hate that, but it is his car and he has the right to do whatever he wants. I bet he did'nt give more than 5K for it when he bought it.

Understatement of the year!! I can't tell you how many times that happened to me where it looks good until you get into it and then I wonder what the heck did I get into? -r-

ron that's exactly why i'll drag a car out of a salvage yard and build it instead of buying one done. i'm a lot less dissapointed when i find the ISSUES.

Mike,
e.g..... the drop-top I bought!!! (she's untouched!) I'll have it at it's first car show tomorrow. Put it on the trailer. It still needs tires and exhaust, and tags, and, and, and..... -r-

i told you i can hook you up with a set of tires and a pair of mufflers and the guru to bend the head pipes so you can bring it to norwalk. someone's gonna wish he'd brought his car next weekend! btw, that car's great compared to some of the stuff i put back together. i build solid drivers [when they're done!] i can't afford to take them to the level you do. my white g/p's one of the best pontiac's i've bought in the last 20 years. i like my cars like i like my women, just a little rough around the edges. if they get too polished they aren't nearly as much fun! mike

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.
