Hey everyone I am new to your community and will be exploring your site.
I have always loved Pontiacs and love to see them driving around. My family owned a 1969 Tempest CUSTOM S with over head cam 6.
I bought my first car when I was 16 and paid cash 1,500 in 1974. It was a 1970 GTO Judge Ram Air 3 with a 4 speed . About 37,000 miles. Let me say I was blessed with my first car. I remember the first time I jumped on it the front end came up so high I couldn't see the road until I went to 2nd gear. I followed thru the rest of the power shot and then let up on the throttle. I remember my heart was pounding so hard I thought it was going to come out of my chest. As many of us have now regretted I sold my FIRST Love and to this day miss it and think of it often. Then I felt blessed that I owned a Beast of a car.
I later purchased a 1979 Tran Am. I know what an adjustment. It is a w6 and a 4 speed with T tops. It does feel good to drive on a sunny day . 22'000 miles.
