Picked it up 2 weeks ago. Some assembly required. Here are some pictures.

Wow, that looks really good!! Is that the original color?

Thanks, yeah it's the original color, called Limelite Green by Pontiac.

Huh, very cool. What are the other specs? Is it going to be resto-mod, or original restoration? What's the interior color, engine, tranny, etc?

What motor and trans are you planning?

455 engine, turbo 400 transmission and a Oldsmobile 12 bolt with 3.08 gears. Interior was originally dark green but was switched to black before I bought it. The suspension has 2nd gen f-body spindles, rotors, brakes, tubular upper control arms and will be adding a bigger sway bar on the front. The rear control arms will be boxed and a sway bar added. All suspension bushings are polyurathane. 1/2" lowering springs in the rear and 1" in the front. The 455 is in my 62 GP that ran very low 13s in the 1/4 mile at a weight of 4200 pounds with me in it.
Thanks,
Eric

Very cool, I love the old goats. Keep us up-to-date on the progress!!

Wow low 13's? What gearing?

Looks Great!

It reminds me of the one I finished a few months ago.

Beautiful! I miss my 71 that I had in high school!

So how much does a 62 gp weigh by itself? Hmmmm...

probably around 4000

4000 it is, rear gears are 2.73, Thats a nice 70. I'll update as I go. I put a few of the emblems on and am going to install the hidden headlight assemblies in the front bumper.

Here are a few picures from today put the front bumper on loosel for now with the hidden headlight assembly, also put the GTO emblems on the fenders and trunk lid.

Subscribed! Again! I gotta watch this one come together. All I have of my old one is 2 pics :(

Aaaaah now that fun begins ....I love putting cars back together. Have fun with it! Very very nice!

Now that's a real man's car!!!

A few pictures with the door and quarter windows installed. Waiting on my parts order from Performance Years Pontiac.

Got some more done since my last post on this. Installed the weather stripping, rear bumper, tailights, rear side marker lights, door handles, locks, drivers door mirror, wheel well trim, aligned front bumper and valance.
