Did I just find Pontiac Heaven?
Some look to have gone here and died, while others are ready for resurrection.
While driving to a customers house today, out in beautiful middle America (Crescent, Oklahoma), I looked over at a yard full of cars only to discover, over half of them were Pontiacs! I've seen this place before when I was younger and had no interest in a project. Today though the gate was open and I pulled in to find the back building open with the front end of a '66 GTO in mid restoration up on a lift. I talked to the guy and asked if he knew of Performance Years (to which he said "no"). He agreed to let me take some pics to post on here and said that everything was for sale. I do not know this guy, although he seemed nice but thought some of you would be interested. |

and finally some more...
Lance Berry is who I talked to. His number is on the card in one of the pics. Might be able to deliver cars or parts for a fair price, to be determined, to some surrounding states... Texas, Kansas, etc. Just ask, if I can, I will. New baby and car project = me needing extra $$$ |

Missed it by a couple States, Chad
Pontiac Heaven is over in Arizona - just ask Steve B!
And I really think heaven might be a little more appealing. Matt is probably right - Pontiacs in purgatory - waiting for their resurrection.

I'm sure Gary (musclecollector) knows him, only 2 hours away from his place and that 69 with the side pipes looks very familiar.

Just for laughs I've tried finding the real Pontiac Heaven yard on Google maps or Bing maps, using aerial view, but no luck yet. St Johns AZ, area, I believe.

Man, I want the wheels on that '66. Torque Thrusts?
Couple of decent looking Bowties in the mix also. There's a 200 page thread over on the Yenko site that these pics would fit right into. It's called "Rotting Musclecars".

Back in the day, (I love that old saying) side pipes were in. Vinyl tops too.

If I had a dime for every Verdoro green '68 or '69 GTO I've seen in similar condition over the past 30 years...

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.
