Donations
The Pontiac 2+2 Registry and this website were created out of a love for the marque, with the goal of creating a meeting place and source of information for those who share that passion. It's a hobby, not a business, and is being funded by the Webmaster. Many thanks to Don Potter at Garnet Design Group for his generous donation of time and expertise in website development.
I would like to keep this a free site, but would welcome any donations if you choose to lend your support.
Thank You!

| car originally came with dealer installed hood tach, carpet and floor mats, low fuel warning light, cornering lamps, manual steering,manual drum brakes,am radio with rear seat speaker,428 HO WJ code, 4:33 posi with close ratio 4 speed with console. seats are pearlized parchment with reclining passenger seat with headrests, door edge guards and rocker trim. There are a few option codes we have not been able to decipher. I added the dealer installed hood pins on my replacement hood. The original hood is in the garage. The car was/will be Tyrol Blue again. You can see the original color on the hood tach where I have sanded it.The second owner changed the color to the burgundy and THREW AWAY ALL THE TRIM! Since then I have managed to get all the pieces together. The original owner put a 65 GTO tripower on it. I have since changed that to a '66 setup with a Melling SPC-8 camshaft (Ram Air IV) with excellent results.The dealer install hood pins are extremely cheap But they are correct in both '67 and '68 but a very scarce item to find in junkyards. I managed to get mine off a wrecked 67 Catalina convertible heading to the crusher back in 1987. It too was a Tyrol Blue convertible. Most 2+2 parts cars I have located in junkyards have been wrapped around light poles or trees.I did also make a template for the hood pins for proper placement.
The factory nodular iron engine has been restored to original condition and a very scarce, high nickel 1967 GME block was acquired new in the box from a former Pontiac parts man and is now completely built with a modified tripower and will be my driving engine allowing me to display the original on a stand as a running model. |
