New year, new location. Had many go to the old location and make the 20+ mi trip to the new location.  Beautiful day, chilly in the AM, but full on furnace by afternoon.  Lil over a 100 cars, not bad for a new location.  Justa66, JustaG6, IndymanJoe and Frosty rounded out the Gang.  Frosty left for the Power tour right from the show. Safe trip N have fun buddy.  Will post some pic's a lil later.  If any Forever Pontiac Members were there, this the thread to post your pic's in.

Many swap meet vendors followed us to Golling.  Not as big as usual, but still a good one. Frosty did find me a vendor that had original 44S A/C sparkilators.  $60.00  

 

HOT WHEELS.....I have Hot Wheels too.

The gang....IndyJoe, Frosty, Justa66 N JustaG6

 

my first favourite !!!

but then i saw the 63!!!!

i justA think 8 luggers are soo cool !!

 

Is the hood underside supposed to be black? That gloss black finish looks really nice on that white, um...is that 'Chieftain' on the front guard?

Great pics, JustA - well done.

Will post more later.  Want to save Frosty and anybody else that might want to contribute their photo's some space. Most of mine were taken earlier in the day as I was workin the parking lot directing cars to their spots. 

Great pics bro. Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing.

Frosty is southbound N down.  Possible hookup with 2lane for the Power tour??  Safe trip N have fun guys.  Here's a couple more pic's.

 

JustaG6 sent this one showin off the new banners.  I somehow missed this one.

Hmmm nothin from Frosty,  hope all is going well.   Kinda figured IndyJoe would post up about the car he almost brought home from the show.  It did have a pair of 10in rally's (notice the beadlock holes in the lip?)    

Great pictures Justa!  Looks like you had good weather.   Helping at an event does make it hard to get pics as I go through the same struggle. We all appreciate your efforts!!!

after all the years of running events i am soooo happy to justA go and enjoy now !! let some one else do their turn at working !!

Having said that, i justA got sucked into helping to run a another rod run!!!... and only because the club needed a hand.

Frosty is the club photographer.  Up to him to get everything and everycar.  Left him (and anybody else) plenty of room to add shots to share.  JustaG6 didn't get many shots as she was working registration.  With any club comes down to a few that do most everything.  I really feel bad I'm not the club member I should be, but explained I wouldn't be participating much when I joined. Have helped the club and show in other ways for many years. 

My personal PC is having major issues here on the road. Hard drive is slow as molasses in January JUSTA copying photos from my camera’s SD card. I will write and upload as soon as I can.

I didnt take any pics as Frosty is a much better photographer !

I think Joe is just making excuses. His cell phone has much more capacity for photos than his does! LOL!

Okay well you've waited long enough, here are some of my photos from the Dust Off.

FP Memeber JIm Larson's Grand Prix.

Chuck Long's '38 Pontiac

A nearly Roadkill approved Safari wagon.

Your basic Buick Grand National

Olds Jetfire

Here's some more.....

Here is an interesting 3rd Gen TA. It's one of 26 made into a convertible roadster. According to the owner, the top is completely manual.

How about a one of none Beaumont El Camino (Ute)?

A '73 Grand Am - the first year for it.

A gorgeous silver '69 Judge. Reminds me of ReveredGTO's goat. BTW - where the heck was ReveredGTO?

An '83 Buick Riviera convertible. My second favorite Rivie after the 63/64 model.

Our only GMC in the show. An S-15 Jimmy

Another Roadkill approved car - but this Tempest set up for the drag strip.

A '77 Formula - you don't see many of these any more.

There were a couple of OHC 6s in the show field this year.

,,,oh look, there's more.....

Sadly this GMC did not enter in the show - they were just spectators.

The Pontiac Transportation Museum was on hand at the show. Tim Dye, director of the musuem, Pontiac author and Smoke SIgnals editor was there too. The Museum brought out two rare Colonade style Pontiacs. A '73 GTO (lowest production year for the GTO), and a '75 Grand Lemans (first year for it) with it's one year only 6-piece front grille.

The swap meet area had about 13 vendors. There certainly was a variety of things to look up. Oh look some NOS AC oil filters. I even found some NOS spark plugs for JUSTA.

 

Pontiac Transportation Museum volunteer and Smoke Signals contributor, Dmitri Toth, was seen holding court and telling Pontiac stories and jokes to anyone that would listen.

Lastly here are the four FPers. Indyman Joe, Frosty, JUSTA6, and JUSTAG6 all in a row!

 

Guess nobody wanted to show the TALK OF THE SHOW, GTO.   More guys including IndymanJoe made calls home about this car. It was in every conversation you walked into.  Car was in great shape inside/out N top n bottom.  Asking $22,000 even the hideaway headlights sat where they should and lined up with the rest of the grill.

Awesome pics guys! Thanks
