That car is screaming DONNIE WHITE.
That could have been an old NHRA O/SA record holder.
Great car!

This would perfect for Tom's (tjs44) collection of very special Pontiacs. It is even better that it came from his area.

Congrats on the sale and the purchase Mike and Earl. Very neat car! You need to decal it all up and put a name on the door with something from back in that era. Tow tabs and all.
