Pete Serio, Precision Pontiac
I finally got up the courage to yank the rally gauge cluster out of my '67 GTO and was hoping to send it to Pete Serio to have it restored. Sometime in the last month or so though his website seems to have disappeared, and when I tried to call it just rings and rings; no voicemail and no answer. Does anyone know if anything happened to him or if he went out of business?

Sooo...Not ten minutes after posting this my phone rang and it was Pete returning my call. He is doing fine, just absolutely swamped with work. He was totally unaware that his website was down and will be looking into that soon. We had a long conversation but as far as getting my gauges restored it will have to wait until at least through the end of summer as there are a long list of people ahead of me. I'm going to put the dash back together for now and get in touch with him in the fall.

Glad to hear he is doing ok. He is among just a handful of people where his work is truly worth the wait. That's why he is 6 months behind. You won't be sorry with the results IF you can wait.

Yea, Pete is indeed a nice, talented fella. Met him at PY's original Lansdale location before the present Hatfield location happened, so mid 80s?
Forget why i was there, probably buying parts....but remember Spotts was excited that day because an original Bathtub intake showed up, an original Red Dashpad (70?) too, and Paul was thrilled to see these things, and well we stood around these items and talked about em. Pete had brought a Hurst Shift handle repop he did and was showing Paul ( and at some point Chris) the finished item; tapered, bent, stamped, but not yet chromed. Yea it looked darn good. Pete started talking about doing resto work on Pontiac Dash Clusters to Paul and I but i was a customer soi had to be in listening mode. I was still fully fresh on 68-69-70 clusters, as they were easily found for me, but really was really amazed that Pete was asking/telling that he was focused on 64-65-66-67 cluster resto. Damn that sounded hard, niche, and ya just gotta know what those originals looked like ( which i didn't have a clue). Pete was near graduating from a sort of tech school back then. Didn't know that Pete Serio would be a long super-duty part of this hobby. |

I got an email from Pete yesterday. He's fine, he's just buried in work for 6-8 months at this point.

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.
