The rear end of my 'bird.  I bought an original power antenna off of Ebay and mounted it.  I hated the manual antenna mounted on the fender, it was always loose and had deformed the sheet metal.  The big job was to make the cutout in the dash...

My car originally had the ugly Pontiac "poverty caps" and black rims.  When my dad wasn't looking, I took these Ralley II's rims off a 1969 Tempest my dad had!  I don't think he ever noticed....

When I was 18 years old, my dad had a 1969 GTO with a hood tach, and never forgot how cool it was.  When they started making repo hood tachs, I bought this one from Classic Industries down in Huntington Beach, CA.

  • Jeff is a really cool guy.  He came to me with this simple need.  He wanted a Ram Air Carburetor for his 69 Firebird.  Now he had this hard to believe story about his father giving him the car.

  • He said he still had it.  Now this really makes me wonder.  Have I come across another pure Pontiac Lover that will go thru all the hassles of pulling, dragging, hauling around his Pontiac since he was 16.  Sounds good.

  • Well I build him a carburetor.  He is a sincere type of person.  Tells me the whole story about his car.  I am impressed.  I know the pains involved in attempting to keep your Pontiac vehicles.  Lost loves, jobs, marriages, rental units, etc.  It is a ...
