Yes, that’s Austin Pontiac , Orchard Park Road in West Seneca doesn’t exist anymore. Been in there many times back in the 70s and 80s buying parts.
never did any tracking or researching on the 75 and newer cars

Did you have both red cars? I had no idea there were 2 Admiralty blue cars, that’s so cool! I’ll have to look at the registry again to add to to mine with info and stuff.
You really are the most knowledgeable in the area!

I wonder if there’s any pre-75 cars I’m missing. I know most of the heavy hitters, Judge Convertibles are really the cool ones. Ram Air IV cars and the super rare 70/71 cars. That $1,100,000 mecum sale really solidified those as million dollar muscle. Wonder if we ever had any of those besides the RA III and IV and Judge cars Bob in Rochester had. I know he had that amazing gold 1971, and a red one I’m not sure about, but that gold one was just incredible. Shame i never got to see it when he owned it here

There’s definitely a lot of cars you’re missing when it comes to Pontiacs in this area . I found and purchased Raiv and SD455 motorrs that came from cars in this area that were junked !
I’ve had three Judge convertibles 1. 69 RA three black four-speed that we Bought in 1980 and 2 -70s a green RAIV and a Mayfair maze ra 3 both 4 Spds

The pepper green car? I think Bob B owned that car.
I think he had a black/black 4 speed RA III vert too. They made a hundred or so of those right? Chances it’s the same may be low, but very cool!
You’re the Pontiac guy!

I absolutely agree! all of these stories are so incredible! so many people sharing all of their favorite moments, its so cool!
It was a little passion project of mine a few months ago to start compiling information from every crevice of memory and the internet to create a registry of the rare muscle cars that were in the WNY area. this thread has catapulted this project way higher than I expected. I haven't updated my registries totally for a few weeks now, and I've added so much. I'm hoping to have everything updated as much as possible by the new year to post here as Google Sheets or Excel (depends on which works better for everyone here) Ill update it as long as im still looking for cars to add, and im not even 20 yet so expect many more years of these registries expanding everyone!
