My dad rebuilt her from tires to headliner, that was about a fast car. How did I survive to see 40, I'll never know. :P I drove a 1976 Trans Am in Orlando back in the 80′s.

Nice car but not as nice or fast as a Poncho (Pontiac). I once had a blue 64 GTO with a 421 and 4 speed. That was a slick ride. I sold it to a friend and he still has it 22 years later and won't sell it back. He's a rat bastard. Haha. The car in “My Cousin Vinny” is a 1964 or 65 Buick Skylark.

It still rides like a dream and doesn't burn a drop of oil. I belong to a great club and we drive excitement all over the place! I'm sorry to see Pontiac dropped and am glad to be keeping part of American history alive! I have an ’86 Fiero SE that I purchased new and it now has 223,500 mi. on it.
