Here are a couple '70 T/A's that I bought a couple years ago. I ended up selling both cars. Can't keep them all.

421 Tri Power four speed. It sat in this barn for 40 years. Five weeks after I pulled it out, a tornado leveled the barn.

Here are a couple pics of my 70 TA the Day I brought it home in 1978. Bought it parked on the street 1 day after the giant Blizzard in 1978. Over 3ft. of snow. The owner said "bring a battery and a snow shovel if you want it". I couldn't get there fast enough. Two friends, shovels, and a battery. "I won't take a penny less than $1500.00", he announced. I put the battery in, it cranked for 2 seconds and ran just fine. Gave him the money and drove it 20 miles home. Ram Air III, AC, 4-speed, no console, sandlewood custom interior.

This photo is from the day I picked up my '67. My son, who was 4 at the time, asked me when we could take it out for a drive. I told him we needed to clean it up first...a couple hours later I found him in the garage taking care of the clean-up himself.

I think this was 'the' day, if not soon thereafter. I'll have to do a deep dive for pics of my '69 GTO and 3rd/4th gen TAs (all long gone).

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.
