Simply stunning!! I should have picked up a 2nd gen when nobody wanted them, heck they are outrageous now. Yours is a stellar example! Good job. Is that a factory his and hers or did somebody put a GTO one in there? Also, is that a Dude scoop?

Thank you. It's a great feeling to save another.
Thank you. I almost did get the black, but I really like the old school grey center. However; My goal this year is to restore the original Honeycombs.
Thank you. I really enjoy it. It's nice going to shows and seeing peoples reactions. No lie, one guy was just staring at the car and just started crying. Apparently he had a 76 and he sold it due to health issues. So sad.
Thank you! The GTO you speak of is part of the collection. The GTO is an 05 with a custom shaker and hood kit. Not sure what you mean about a Dude scoop.
Here are a few pics of the GTO.

I was referring to the Hurst shifter in your 2nd gen. I usually see them in late 60's GTO's. And your shaker looks higher than normal but like the shifter deal, I'm not too savy with the 2nd gens. Oh, a "Dude Scoop" is an aftermarket shaker that sits higher. You should go check out www.forums.performanceyears.com/forums/ there are alot of Pontiacs there. That is a killer looking late model GTO as well, I love the shaker.

Ahhhh. I see. I bought the Dual gate Hurst shifter and I kept the stock one for that "just in case" moment. The shaker does sit higher than normal. I have a Performer RPM intake manifold and it obviously is taller than the stock unit. I also kept the stock intake manifold for the same reason. But thanks for the link. I need to modify my current air cleaner lid to sit just a little lower to give it more clearance. Thanks for the compliment on the GTO though. My bad I misunderstood ya.
Keep up the good work.

Sweet. The His and Her's was always very cool deal. There is a WFO Performance drop base air filter unit for use with Performer RPM or Torker 2 intake manifolds you might be interested in. Yeah, I have read enought to know your intake selection can be limited due to the shaker. hehe
Keep up the good work.

Thank you. Some day I will get her dynoed. I'm curious myself.
Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. BTW: LOVE your Camaro!!!
Thank you. I was very lucky with this car. Very solid which made for a nice restoration. Glad I was able to save this one. I just don't see them anymore especially in this condition. I'll definitely post up some more pics and a video clip. Jorge
Cool. Thanks for the link. I'll definitely have to check it out. Any pics of yours?

Thank you. 74 is one of my favorite years. It has crossed my mind to get the YearOnes, especially the billet Honeycombs they offer, but I would rather restore the original Honeycombs. One of my goals for this year.
