Hi, 

Thanks for accepting me into the group. 

I have been a Pontiac fan since 1972, the year I purchased my first car (so you can guess my age !!). It was a 1969 GTO, triple black, 400 4 speed. I kept that Goat for 4 yrs. and sold it when I got married. Back in 92, I was fortunate enough to stumble across a 69 GTO that was for sale. Just seeing the car got my juices flowing and I made the purchase. It was a 400 Ram Air III, 4speed, with Hideaways. It was  an ugly shade of green, not factory, but I was planning on a repaint anyway. Once I got the car home I immediately started the disassembly to prepare it for body & paint. Due to work, family and other responsibilities, the car sat in the garage for 8 years. I would start it up once a month and move it up & down the driveaway to keep the fluids flowing. Finally, in 2000, I was able to resume my project. To my surprise the body was very good with minor rust areas. The floors were solid too. I decided to have the car painted Carousel Red, my favorite GTO colour. I added a rear wing to complete the look I wanted. For reasons I wont get into I sold the Goat in 2012 (broke my heart). Fast forward to 2022, I found another Goat in the area that was for sale. The previous owner had started the restoration and then lost interest in it. Body & Paint was done (Carousel Red !!), the motor was a fresh 400 rebuild, the TH400 was a fresh rebuild also, The floors were solid, but no interior in the car. The car needed wiring to be completed, carpeting, an interior, brakes & lines, trunk floor needed sanding, cleaning & repaint and many other small jobs that pop up when into a restoration. The Goat is now on the road and I am driving it while I pick away at items that are still on the to do list. Somehow the list keeps growing, but isn't that half the fun !!

Keep saving those Pontiacs !!

Great story and glad you ended it with a Goat  . Looks great!

Sharp Goat! These cars are never done.
