Hi performance tubular control arms or,trailing arms are a tad more expensive than stamped steel OEM/OER replacements. However, the resist deflection more because they are stronger units. Shop around. The GP is also on a Catalina/Bonneville chassis, I would be surprised if the control-arms or trailing arms for a 63 Chevy didn’t interchange. Chevy prices are often lower. The cost factor you are dealing with is that this is a full size car and not an A or F body car. Therefore demand for full size performance suspension parts is a lot lower.

Is the Mustang a total loss (do we know yet)? While it looks bad now, not sure how much is justa sheet metal damage versus other damage to the suspension and such. -

The important thing is everyone is alive and not seriously hurt. Sorry about your mate and his Mustang. It's a gut punch for sure. I hope the bloke that did this gets some serious jail time. Were drugs or alcohol a factor in this accident that you know of? Road rash, even from the grass, are badges of honor for the Camaro and give you a story to tell to your mates. Paint can be fixed too. Gladi you are okay mate! -
The only downside on this car is that it is an actual column shift GTO, no center console or shifter. But it is a real 242 car.

72 Grand Prix coolant loss
Frosty replied to Gdog1962's topic in Pontiac General Discussion/Questions
JUSTA brings up an interesting point. If your radiator cap is original, it maybe time to consider replacing it with a new one. -
I agree with 31pontiac on wrecking yards. Also found this add in the latest POCI Smoke Signals magazine.

72 Grand Prix coolant loss
Frosty replied to Gdog1962's topic in Pontiac General Discussion/Questions
That's easy. It's a classic example of physics at work. As temperature increases, the coolant expands. Once the pressure limit of the radiator cap is met, say 22 lbs, it will allow hot coolant to pass to relieve the pressure. When the engine is first shut off, all the ambient heat remains in the system, but the radiator isn't getting air flow to cool the coolant nor is the water pump circulating anything. So pressure will build until the cap releases and pressure in the system is released. Next thing you know, you have coolant on the ground. -
Can you be a litle more explicit please? Interior trim clips, exterior trim modeling clips? Also for what car and year?

72 Grand Prix coolant loss
Frosty replied to Gdog1962's topic in Pontiac General Discussion/Questions
I assume your overflow is a hose that dumps on the ground. I have installed an inexpensive coolant recovery catch can on my '72 Lemans with a 455/4-core radiator. A 3" x 10" is what I have. I bolted it to the radiator support. I used one existing hole and drilled a second. I mounted it literally right next to the radiator and connected the overflow hose to the input line of the recovery can. No more leaking antifreeze. When the radiator cools down, vacuum will draw the coolant back into the radiator. https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search?query=coolant recovery tank This is just one example. Many catalog stores have these sort of items. Summit, Jegs, etc. -

I'd love to see your list of yards and compare it to mine. When you get a chance, please either post it here or PM me. -

I wish. Mine has more hair......everywhere. Think of Bigfoot - with a mop. Baby Jack came home yesterday. My wife went to see and hold him for quite some time last night. I was not able to go. I had a dental appointment at the end of the day to fill 2 cavities. So I stayed home with a mouth of Novocain. I will get to see him later on. -

Let me know if you want a list of other classic car wrecking yards. I have a small list. These are not Pontiac specific, like Frank's is, so it is definitely hit or miss. You could also try calling: Texas Trans Ams Mansfield Texas 817-300-0818 -

Yeah, it's been stressful. Only my son and his girlfriend have been able to see and hold the baby. No one else has yet because of the restrictions the hospital has on infants in the neonatal unit - Mom and Dad only! I've been dog sitting their golden retriever Riley since Wednesday. Riley went home last night. I can finally put all the dog toys away. Cleaning ladies show on Thursday so vacuum up all the dog hair. -
I don't think I've ever seen a Grabber Blue Torino before. I realize that it's still a Ford color but I've only seen it on Mustangs.
