Those bird power seats pull money.

Are you collecting random PHS docs? If so, send me your email and I'll send you mine.

Are you still collecting PHS documents? I think I might have one or two.

I junked out a heavily optioned 1969 Firebird 400 HO automatic in the mid-1980s. It was dark green, vinyl top, with green interior. The owner let it get away from him in the rain and he rode a concrete divider until he stopped. It destroyed the whole right side, but it was still drivable. This car was heavily optioned, had the T/A style gauges, limited slip rear end, and a host of convenience options. Unfortunately, it didn't have ram air.

There was also a Carousel Red 400HO 4-spd with very few options not too far from where I grew up. I tried to buy it, but the owner would never let go of it. It sat beside a outbuilding for a long time, then disappeared. I think I ran the PHS on it too.

Before Pontiac Historical opened up, you could get build sheets for free directly from Pontiac. I had a pretty large collection of PHS sheets that I collected between about 1982 - 1992. They got packed up when I moved in 1992, and I haven't seen them since. Hopefully I'll be doing some cleanup when I retire and can find some of the stuff that got packed away when I moved.
