Let's see your books and literature.
Here's most of mine. The collection started with the very worn Chilton at the bottom center. I certainly got my money's worth out it keeping my GTO on the road back in 83.
The wife. Is putting pressure on me to down size things. I made her happy by getting rid of some other books from cars I no longer own but kept these.

Nice collection. I have several of those and more but they are scattered about and would take some time to put them all together, which would be great because I'm in a downsizing mode and would be a good opportunity for me to get at least these things in order. Thanks for the inspiration!

I've had all the basic service manuals (66-69) and reference material.
I still have most of the 1966 Dealer Brochures, OHC-related advertisements, and showroom posters, along with an extensive magazine collection covering anything OHC-related. However, as time goes on, I have been thinning down all the bulk. I've scanned all the magazines and sold off the hard copies, as well as have PDF files of all the service manuals for easy access. It's all good to have and should be the first things anyone new to the hobby should invest in.

I have a lot with quite a bit thinned down also.
About like Jeff. Most are pdf's now, but still have a lot of the originals still. (got rid of all the Nat. Dragsters, most computer books, etc) Have a lot of the Craftsman Service News from like 1947 to 1979 or so. Have most of the Service Manuals from about 1955 or so to 1979. Try to get all the Firebird books that were printed back when. Had about all the car mags from 1970 to ? that had Pontiac articles. When we moved from our last place to here scaled down a lot. (tons of stuff gone) Still have many boxes still packed that haven't opened yet.

I really liked Jim Wangner's book, great detail about back in the day & GTO History ... ! |

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.
