call Ferguson coach works(spelling)I found them on the internet and turned John and Scott on to him.I think the number was like 25K for the complete front end.Less than the original that needed about 10K worth of work.Tom

Cool

You know it's funny, PY is the largest pontiac forum on the net, but there's more updated info on this car on the HAMB board? both pontiac magazines have run small 1 page article on the car, yet Popular Hot Rodding did a mutiple page story with pics and history on the car. why is that? you'd think the pontiac mags would be on top of this being it's the biggest pontiac barn find in years? glad Tom S chimes in with answers to questions or we would all be in the dark on this.

Tom, what was wrong with the original front end to require 10K worth of work?

It was pretty beat back in the 80's; I can't imagine it has aged well since then.

And that the current owner wanted more $$$ than he (the guy who owns the LeMans) was willing to pay.

Wow, great find!!!! Louvered hood is apparent.

The decals and the front wheels are different from how it was restored too!

Too bad we cant read what the sign says.
