First I'd like to say "Hello" to everyone and that I'm new to this sight and forums in general. I recently purchased a 67 326 HO Firebird, It came with some copies of the original papers, including window sticker and sales receipt. I googled the original owner and found out she recently passed away. When reading the obituary I came to find out her brother lives in PA. I found a phone number and contacted him, he confirmed it was his sister's car and preceded to tell me all about the car. WOW, Is the only response I could come up with. I couldn't believe I was speaking with someone so close to original owner. He said she owned the car for over 25 years! So now my question is.... how do I find out who owned it after her?

Welcome aboard, If the original owner traded it in, you are probably out of luck. If she sold it privately and the brother knows who bought it you might track them down. Otherwise, good luck... Cal
Oh, we love pictures too! A 326 HO is a rare beast. Is it still all original? Additional info regarding the car can be had at Pontiac Historical Services (PHS).

Hey, neighbor! I purchased the car from a guy in NJ. I believe he just bought it to flip it, he didn't say to much about it. And you know how bird people are, we love talking about our cars. lol I texted him when I found out about the owner and eventually finding and speaking with her brother, he said "cool. I will text him again though and ask him who he got it from. I've been hitting the car show scene, maybe we can catch up at one! Sandi

Hi Cal, the interior is all original and in great shape, the body is showing some wear and I think it was painted. All and all it's pretty solid.

I was lucky enough to be able to get a complete copy of all the titles to my car for each owner back to the first owner who was an executive for GM in Kansas City, they actually gave it to him to drive for a year and he got a new Pontiac of his choice each year. Unfortunately the government has stopped us from being able to do this anymore with the privacy laws, good luck

Hey Cal, I forgot to tell you my car was originally from Endicott NY, but she moved to Georgia. I don't know where abouts though.
