I just found this site while browsing, & happen to know Frosty from years back meeting him on another site & realizing we both had the same friends in West Virginia!! I met him in person back in 2010 when I had my 64 Catalina 2+2 with dual Quads.Sold that one a few years back, & built a 51 Cdn. Pontiac Torpedo back coupe, on late model Monty chassis, 355 SBC with dual quads & 5 speed Tremic. Unfortunate I had a garage fire that burn't to the ground taking the coupe and a 69 Cutlass rag top to be totaled!!! New shop built & found a 64 Impala S/S409 4speed in "mint" shape!!  BUT 3 months later, I found a 64 Pontiac [ Cdn] Safari wagon in western Canada on Cdn. Poncho site, lived all it's life out west, 350 SBC [out to 358], Borg-Warner 4 speed, 3:36 Posi  & no rust anywhere!!  Bought site un seen other than pictures & video & has it shipped to Ontario by car carrier, no surprises, exactly as described! Have driven it 3 times to Show in Charleston W V with no problems, whereas Impala gets trailered there as It's pretty stiff on fuel with non Hwy. gears[ but hauls "A$$" Guess I'm a 73 yr. old "KID" ???

PETE !!!! BUDDY!!! WELCOME TO FP!!!! 

I haven't talked to you in days.

Stratman is another FP member who is a Doo Wop alum - from Virginia. He came last year for the first time in his black Trans Am. Jason Rutledge picked him for a free detail job on the boulevard too.

Pete if you have issues posting with pics, send them to me and I will figure out how to post them.

That wagon is bad ass. How often do you see a full size wagon with a stick shift - on the floor? One of these days, Pete's going to take me for a ride in it.

Pete and I have a lot of mutual friends in West Virginia!

I'm posting some of my "past" Pontiacs & and a "Orphan" + a few others over the past years!! 64 Catalina, southbound I 79 to Charleston WV. 65 Valiant V200 273 V8 "Hi Po" 4 speed, 70 Catalina "rag top" & 56 Nomad & 38 chev coach, 72 Avanti II [ went to Charleston twice] 51 Torpedo Back [lost in fire] got 27 MPG on trip south & present cars, 64 Impala S/S409 4 speed, & 64 Safari Cdn engine shots doing detailing. R/C decals say 327 "Pontiac" & I saved those, as our emission control "police are sticky" about engine swaps & engine must have what engine was born with, I'm close but they can sill check #'s if they think they have too??

[Frosty]

I really thought you were going to keep the Avanti but you had such wiring issues with it. I did enjoy looking at the duad quad '64 Catalina. That was a beautiful car.

[dualquadpete]

Dennis I did like that Avanti as well & still in contact with the guy who bought it, No issues at all so guess the repairs & re wire did the trick!! I got a lot of "ribbing" on it, " not a Pontiac, Pete, WTF you doing with that" !! but I have broad shoulders!!

New shop pictures, installed floor heating tubes but not hooked up yet, have Natural Gas overhead unit heater, that works well for now. 14.5 ft ceiling height so perfect for 4 poster lift. Luckily I had pictures of contents of tools & equipment & suggest you do the same as I doubt you can remember "everything that's in there" I sure couldn't & still go to look for something and say "oh ya must have lost it in fire!! but pictures helped. Have done the same for this shop. Lucked out on tool box, found it on line, approx. 45 grand in tools & got it for 10 g's took 5 guys to roll it onto trailer at dealership where mechanic worked before suffering a "stroke" !!! My contractor had it done in just over 3 months and was so well organized no waiting on material, arrived exactly on time as building went up!!! Org. concrete floor had to be torn up as heat from fire " pooched" it

I can't help it Last Indian, it's what we snowmen do. We get it from our snow flake partners.
