Finally got the car!!!!!!!!!!!
well, here is a thread to the story,
http://216.178.81.108/forums/showthread.php?t=450916 long story short, i just took possesion of the car that started it all for me, my dads 1963 catalina 389 tri power four speed post. he bought it new in 63, it went away for 25 years or so, and now i own it. this car was the one that bottle fed me high octane milk, sang me to sleep with a lullaby of dual exhausts rumbling, and gave me a piggy back ride powershifting through the gears. hooked. when i was nine, he sold it, but i kept the key from the dealer, Bud Meadows, in portland oregon. it was very decorative, with the dealer logo on both sides, with the dream of driving that car again someday. today, i put that key, that key that hasn't seen it's mate in 30 years, in the ignition, and fired her up. wow. i am all giddy like a school girl, just wanted to share, thanks for listenin', davey

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.
