Hoping to have the GTO running by Sat.  Never know, could happen.  Might show up with JustaG6 if she can go.  Talk to Joe?

I got a hold of him via text last night. He has to work Saturday morning. He hopes to show up after / around lunch time.

[JUSTA6]

Me N Mel will be there.

Well Justa66, JustaG6, and Indyman Joe (yes that Indyman Joe) all showed up today!!!! We have photo evidence to prove it!

Here are some shots from todays Pontiac/Buick/Oldsmobile show.

Beautiful Catalina Safari - painted in a Toyota Champagne color

Awesome Olds 442 convertible restomod.

Still has the original Nailhead in it

I love this shade of blue

Olds Omega!

A 455 Olds Vista Cruiser! Outstanding!

Fieros - we got 'em!

The owner of this '88 Formula and I talked and compared notes on our Tuned Ports. This was originally a carbertated car that he converted to tuned port!

The fox tail was such a nice subtle touch.

'73 Grand Prix with a 455 and a 4-speed! Sweet!

A great Chieftain!

A beautiful LeSabre!

Jim Larson's '63 Grand Prix - he won an award today! Congrats Jim!

A tin woody with some umph!

 A cool Lemans!

What an Oldsmobile resto-mod!

'89 Turbo V6 Indy Pace Car Trans Am

'55 Tin Indian!

I'm still trying to figure out of this was a real front engine/RWD conversion or not on this Fiero. 

This is a uniquely colored GTO! I've never seen a Goat this color before!

The owners of the '67 Cutlass Supreme won an award at my local cruise in last night. I interviewed them. They bought this car as a wedding present to each other in 2011. They did a complete frame off restoration, took them 15 months. They took out the 330 and put in a 461 (455 .030 over), a 400TH, and Chevy 12-bolt rear with 3.55 gears. The paint is a 2-stage urethane - not a base/clear. The only thing farmed out was rebuilding the transmission. Everything else the two of them did together.

This car made me think of Kiwi for some reason.

I know its a Chevy, but this vintage tow truck was one of the vehicles for sale from Vanguard Motor Sales. Plus its justa cool.

This photo is dedicated to DualQuad Pete and his new ride "Sherman". A Grandville convertible. We're thinking of you Pete. Miss ya' bud!

One of the most unique cars at the show. A '77 Sunbird Safari wagon. It is literally a rebadged Astre wagon. This was originally a 231 V6 car. The owners found this car in Georgia as you see it. It still has the stock 4-bolt 13" wheels and stock 10-bolt diff. They won an award today too! BTW this was the wife's car.

This is the husband's car. A twin turbo'd LS-powered Lemans convertible resto-mod. Ooookay!

Dennis Koss' Royal Bobcat

 

'72 GTO

'67 Grand Prix convertible - the only year a convertible was available on the Grand Prix.

Cool art work!

Here's more photos from today's show!

Pair of Goats

'70 GTO

A rare, seldom seen '73 GTO

One of my favorite 70s era cars, the '77 Lemans Sport Couple CAN-AM. A one year only car.

'83 Hurst Olds

A Pontiac Vibe. This one is dedicated to notallthere and his wife. WIsh you folks were here too! We miss you guys very much! Hugs to you!

Sunbird convertible

Two kids were driving this Firebird, they had to under 25. Indyman Joe had the line of the day. "Hey is that you car?" Kid - "No it's my dad's car!" Joe - "Man your dad must love you to let you drive it!" WOW! 

The dad drove the Chieftain. The boys left before he did. He said this car has been sitting for the last 40 years. He got the car running last week!

We were on a slight hill overlooking the show. This was our view of things....

[Frosty]

So the SE Michigan chapter of Forever Pontiac was called to order.

Justa66 - The Goat

JustaG6 - Red

Frosty - Black Beauty

Indyman Joe was not able to register for the show since he had to work the first half of the day. However, he joined us for the rest of the day. So it was great to see Indyman and catch up with him and his '72 Luxury Lemans.

Here is a video of Joe trying to redeem himself for his weak burn out on Woodward last summer. Mea.

I think Joe was afraid he'd get in trouble.

Not much left to say or do.  We walked around together and took the same photo's.  So I'll drop in what he left.  Awards were very cool gas pumps for the special awards, there were 35 plaques handed out to participant cars.  No classes.  Spent a beautiful day with my BESTIES,  Mel, Denise, Indy and JOE.  Group shots of our cars proved who was there!!!  Was so nice to drive the car for the 1st time this year.  The JUSTA"S were introduced to Black Beauty for the 1st time and not sure it was so formal with Indy's 72.  Got home N couldn't bring myself to put er away.  Me Momma N OZZIE went out for a cruise and a DRIVE THROUGH DINNER.    He loves the Chief Tiger!!!  Also give him a boost so he can see better.

REALLY  YA couldn't leave me a couple shot to chip in???  After the Bling he brought me back from the power tour, he can do whatever he wants!!!  A Roadkill sticker.... OMG made my whole month.  Spent the time and submitted my shots only to find all of this.  

[Ringo64]

Great photos all! Looks like an amazing show and time! Fantastic cars all around, happy to have duplicates, Justa!

[Frosty]

JUSTA almost crapped his pants when I gave him the official Roadkill sticker I got in my goodie bag from Power Tour. You couldn’t buy them in the swag truck either. He said he’d have to hide the sticker from Joe because Joe would want to steal it!

i told Joe about it since I gave Joe a swag hat from Continental Tire from Power Tour. He asked JUSTA where it was because he was going to steal it! 

I looked at JUSTA and said, well it looks like you called that one right!
