This was the car we owned when we first got married - but with a 327.

Same body as the GOAT. .  heavy body.  . but too bad it was not the GTO.

My father in law bought it for my wife.  Sold my Datsun pickup truck for
college funds . .

The car was simply unbreakable. .  nothing ever went wrong with it. .  even
with well over 100k on the odometer.  It later went to my mother who put on
another 50k miles on the thing.

I bought a V6 Capri with a 5 speed stick (or 4 speed, I don't recall).  We
spent the majority of our time in our 1960 Old English White MGA.

But the Pontiac will always hold a place in my heart.  Wish we had never
gotten rid of it.

Of course, had it been the GTO.  . I hope that I would have had the smarts
to have held on to it.
