New twist to the Saga...Dad informed me last night (after a few vodkas) that he will pay for half of the car as well as the restoration...I am making my arrangements. Wiskbird...I'm in! I will look forward to Steve's report, barring any red flags from Steve, I will start to arrange to come out myself and meet you and inspect the car.

Please note; I feel it is a privilege to be on this forum and to have the opportunity to collaborate with such knowledgeable people. I have fancied myself in the past as being a Pontiac buff but it is clear to me that I have a-lot to learn. Thank you in advance also for all the help you all are about to give me. This will be my second classic Pontiac restoration as we are about 1/3 of the way done with dad's 71 GTO. (Ran in the fresh 400 on the run-in stand last night)
