My love for Big Pontiacs began in the late 60's when my Dad introduced me to his 1963 Nocturne Blue Grand Prix. I loved that car and the time with my Dad. This site is dedicated not only to my efforts restoring two Big B-Body Pontiacs, but also to the friends, family, folks, and journey along the way. Like most things in life, this Blog takes some tangents into whatever stuff I think is interesting at the time--automobile related, of course.

We Have a Transmission
With much help from my friend Greg, the Grand Prix's transmission and assorted other parts has made it home from Boston. Much thanks is extended to the seller and his friend who had rebuilt the transmission for me. Purchased over 3 years ago, logistics, kids, and time made actually getting the thing more complicated than I ever expected. The fly wheel will have to be surfaced. The shifter will have to be rehabilitated. (It has a reverse lock-out which is interesting, and apparently discontinued by Pontiac for the 1964 model year) I've already painted the transmission and bell housing. The Z-Bar and Pedals need to be spruced up. The console has requires a good cleaning. But, hey, it's FINALLY here.
