Pontiac Musclecar Performance book
Picked a box of old performance years catalogs and this book which is really awesome! Talk about great data. Anyone have this book?
Also came with a 70 Judge assembly manual and some “parts” , for another day

Since '89, also used to offer Petes book for sale at swappers that a few us set up at. Few errors & omissions in the book that years gone by have brought to light. Great resource though!
Assembly manuals are a part of the puzzle. Can't complete a really high level restoration w/o them & numerous other resources.

I got my copy around 25 years ago and had Pete sign it one year at Tiger Run in Bend OR.

Pontiac Musclecar Performance was one of the first books I bought after getting my GTO in 1993. I think if I could only have one Pontiac book that would be it.

I see what looks like an Eric White sketch peeking through in the background.
Eric was also a member on this board (gtoric - RIP). Another very important addition to any Pontiac enthusiast's reference library. Keep an eye out for one of these if you don't already have one. K

Two copies... one nice one in the house, and one torn-up one that used to accompany me on junkyard trips in the early 90s when a person might actually hope to find a set of decent heads in a scrap pile.
Funny story: I was telling a knowledgeable Pontiac guy at work about the book and he said I should look at the "Contributors" page in the front or back... once I saw his name in there, I shut my mouth. haha Keith, you may remember Frank from the DPG.

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.
