How long have you had that car and where did you buy it?

I had a good friend in high school back in the 80s in New England whose parents had one exactly like yours: 1969 silver Custom-S Hardtop. His dad claimed it had (if I remember right) a Mickey Thompson Sprint block installed at the factory by mistake. It was a daily driver and quite a sleeper (all the way down to the taxi cab-style front bench covers). They later replaced the standard hubcaps with Rally IIs. Nice looking sled.

I should donate my Pontiac Custom-S to the Heritage Center. After all it's a 350 V8 with no B pillar :smilewide:, that was made for only one model year in 1969. I bet they don't have one, I will have to look into it and give them a call.

Meh, there's gonna be a lot of editing.. I've got 379 pics to go through.

Sorry I haven't gotten to this yet, everybody. Monday I worked 14.75 hours and yesterday I worked just over 14. Today might be pretty close to the same case, too... I'll get to it as soon as I can though!

I've has this car since I was 14, at that time I use to spend summers with my cousins in Florida, also in Florida at that time you could get your license at 14. My uncle signed for me since he was my guardian during the summer, my father was not to happy about that as I recall, but oh well. :scratchchin:
