  1. Not OPG it's held at an old Pontiac Dealership in Richmond VA. Now just Buke-GMC Dealer
  2. Have always supported this show in the past but have not been out since '09, figured it was time. Great weather and a fair turnout. Enjoy the slides... http://s412.photobuc...mview=slideshow

  4. Well finally took her out and about, It was good to have among her peers. Still have some stuff to complete but so far so good
  5. Here are more pics in a slideshow form from a fellow PYer; http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t187/SolarGold79WS6/Perfromance%20Years%20and%20Pypes%20car%20show%20June%2016%202012/?albumview=slideshow
  6. Wasn’t planning on going up but at the last moment we said what the hell, Glad we did not only did we get to look over some real nice Pontiacs but we saved a lot of $$ on a load of parts. Nice long 15 hour day Here are some of the Pontiac eye candy on site, Enjoy the slideshow… http://s412.photobuc...mview=slideshow
  7. Well looks like she'll see her 1st Cruise-in this weekend. Beat our deadline by almost a full week
  8. That Bonny Wagon is awsume! And it is cool to see a Cammer as well, they are rarely seen but I did hear they do exsist
  9. Well we had set a "Ready by summer" deadline for this Little Indian and I think we are going to make it. Spent all day Sunday re-hanging and aligning the forward sheet goods what a PITA this old car has been massaged many times over the years, then add to the mix some NOS and some re-worked metal and you really have to bust some knuckles to get it set. All and All I’m very pleased based on what we had to start with, but will say it is a driver for sure, not a show car. A real good 10 footer IMHO. We’re down to a few more trim parts, glass seal, lights and bumper. Been test driving her around and she seems to be doing well for something that has been silent for so long.
  10. '65 Cat Is hands down for me, I've said it before. I'm a sucker for Green eyed Ladies & Green cars
  11. Well it took longer then it should (or at least I think so) but she now has fire! Fired her up for the 1st time in way to long but it was great to wake the heart & sole again.
  12. For anyone interested in knowing more about our 1966 OHC 6 -SPRINT optioned Lemans... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/764053/1966-pontiac-lemans
  13. Thanks all! As I've said we're trying to stay as close to stock as possible. It's hard with old cars, but we're doing our best. I think what I've come to like most about the '63 Tempest/Lemans' is how much of the styling cues carried over to the '64 GTO. So to me it's a sort of another Jr. GTO or at least can be very close with the V8 option This is the 4th Little Indian I have wrenched on and they do grow on you.
  14. Glad you all dig this Little Indian. We are doing our best to keep her very close to stock. The interior of this car is 95% original, I shit you not. This car was stashed in a basement (Yes i said basement) out of harms way for many many years. Seats are all near mint with only the PS bottom fabric panel needing re-placement, I think I have located a source for that. The other item we need to find is an oem type floor mat as Tempest did not come with carpet but that was our only option at this time. The original mat isn't in great condition.
  15. Saw this great looking B-Body in the Garage and this one gets my vote. Just a sucker for a green car and green eyed girls
  16. Thanks guy's we're trying to keep her stock or at least as close as possible. There's a few stock elements that were done away with that no one has caught yet so we'll be ok If the weather gets back to normal we hope to have her move under her own power this weekend. Even so we still have a lot to do.
  17. Thanks Jeff, We have been lucky with parts so far. Moving forward slow but sure... Trying our best to get her back on the road this summer.
  18. Hey gang its been awhile. Just thought I would share some pics of a project that lost steam over 5 years ago. I'm currently helping my good friend get his Little Indian project rolling again. He is back on his feet and I jumped in to help out a fellow Pontiacer. We are making progress and we'll share as we move forward. This poor Pontiac went to the body shop 5+ years ago and sadly went into limbo. Well thats all changed now! Enjoy.
  19. Hmm Funny I’ve lived here for 16 years and was not aware they had this show?? Funnier than that is my friend with the Gold ’66 GTO is a Professor at ODU and has never mentioned it. I’ll have to add this to my summer show list. Thanks for the heads up!
  20. I was able to find this PRESS photo of a '65 GTO show car used by Pontiac in '65. However it was not avail to the public with this paint or Tail And below is a link to a real sharp TIGER GOLD '65 GTO with the SPS code, none '65/Factory color http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/inventory/1965-Pontiac-GTO/132701 Cheers.
  21. With all due respect I have been dealing with Pontiacs a long time and have never heard of '65's with a tiger stripe paint scheme offering from the factory. I am very aware of none Pontiac colors being used as I have a friend who had a new '65 GTO painted a Chevrolet Green. The only "Tiger" color for '65 I am aware of was the TIGER GOLD. This color was used on special cars some that were given away during promotional events/contest. Lots of info on the web regarding such cars. Not to say your wrong put I would love to see the PHS on this one.
  22. When I was a younger Pontiacer I never minded playing in the snow
