Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
 

Bill, thanks for the info! I couldn't recall whether Marvin's GP was a 69 or 70. I also remember he had a triple blue 66 (?) GTO. I bumped into him the the day he bought that Goat. It was sitting in the parking lot of our Portillo's, and I caught him just as he was coming out to the car.

His 65 2+2 was quick, ran in the mid-low 13's if I recall.

Didn't Marvin and Bob A. own Classic Motors together? I recall they restored a 70 W-30 442 that made a magazine, lost track of them after that.

1) 1970 Chicago Auto Show

2) 1972 Chicago Auto Show

-----Marvin was never related to Classic Motors. He just used to stop by every now and then, and Im not sure who Bob A would be. Marvins 2+2 did run as the motor was twisted a bit (maybe more than a bit). I remember him telling me it had a McKeller cam and it did have a lope to it......Bill S
