Welcome to the community.
I too am a long time Pontiac fan. Ive ventured away a couple times but every time I did I would just stare at Pontiacs as they drove buy and feel like I had committed adultery or something. My very first car was a F-Body style Firebird and I was in hog heaven with that thing. I literally cried when someone in front of me stopped short and made my Firebird a sub compact.
This is my second Grand Prix and Im in the middle of rebuilding the tranny and working over the engine some too. Im looking forward to seeing you around. I cant see any car purchase being a bad deal if you know it needs work and are willing to see it through. I'll be looking forward to the pics.
