Default Re: Considering Thining my collection (Mopar/Pontiac)

My 71 had the Shaker and white top and interior, It did not have the tract pack, The car came with a
8 ¾ with a 390 gear.. I also remember that the car had an overhead console. Which I though was so
kool I brought the car in 1978 after a few other owners had their fun with Her. The owner before me
put a set of heads off of his 67 GTX on the car but he gave me the originals. A couple of Mopar Gurus
told me to put a Pinion Snubber on the rear. The beast use to bend them up as though they were made
of tin foil. Joe Jenson made me a set of torque bars. The car launched hard and straight with them.
Unfortunately the car still did not corner at high speeds. I had many a White Knuckle encounters on
those Ottsville Bucks County back roads. Young and dumb. I just showed these pictures to Karen and
she remembers the car well and also no interest of ever getting into another one.
Sorry to get off subject but my love affair goes way back on this car.
