pontiac wanted

**421gto** · 12-11-2009 22:07

dont know exactly what i want but i do know what i dont want

what i'd like is one of the following :

either a 35 to 38 ~ any model 2dr/4dr i dont mind

or a 57 to 67, but its gotta be a 2dr or a station wagon ~ no ragtops, no 4drs, no firebirds, dont really want another GTO or Tempest (but i might if its a 64 !) ~ not really interested in Canadian/Export models either

& I really really dont want a rustbucket project - ive enuff of em already !

dont mind if its minus engine & box, may take unfinished project or accident damaged if it was a good solid car.

i know i might as well be peeing in the wind but if you dont ask you dont get !

cheers

Close but no cigar... i have a 57 but it's a 4 door

i also have a 57 2 door Safari but that's not for sale, may be at some point next year though if i decide to take a course in the US.

I tried to reply to your PM but it says you dont accept PM's...

The car is on my website... http://www.roadhouseretro.com/cars.asp take a look at the extra pics. knock £500 off that price and i am open to serious offers.

Paint is a little more faded than the pics show and it's not a 2 speed auto it's a 4 i believe. everytime i use it i try and count the gear changes but cant

Tim,

i do like the 57, saw it at one of the billing shows, its just got too many doors sunshine - was that the 57 safari from a short while back or has another one surfaced then ?? thats a bloody rare car - drop me an email as i still have a few parts off a 57 - my emails on my site www.pontiacuk.com.

Andrew, yeah thats a nice one, been for sale for an age, with the euro being so strong it kinda kills it for me.

Cheers anyways guys but i bought something wednesday, pick it up tomorrow, wasnt on my list of cars i really wanted but it was cheap.

Yeah i know what your saying about the number of doors, i'm a 2 door man too hence i had to buy the 2 door safari. what do you mean about the one that surfaced recently? not sure if it's the same one or not. i'll check out your site

Just had a look on your site, saw my very car on the 57 page

**Battersea Boys** · 31-12-2009 14:29

Great website - saw a few of our old ones on there...

Going off at a tangent here. I love the last pic in your 1957 list, the black and white garage one. Obiously from a time when these were daily cars but do you know where it was taken? I haven't a clue but Lendrums Maybe?

I thought it was Lendrums - I love seeing these old pics of 'English' cars, as we've discussed Steve - could be a nice thread in the history file!

Also, for 421gto's site, there is a picture on the 'other' site that Ken Sweeney posted of a 58 Pontiac convertible which I believe is a Canadian Parisienne (judging by the rear overhang) outside some flats in Brixton! Would be a welcome addition to the website I'm sure!
