I got this car for an auto body shop in Manteca CA in July of 2009. She was only 500 bucks. I had her moved to Stockton were she sits right now in my friends back yard. Over the next 10 years, this car will be put back together. I don't have the time to do it right now but I will soon.

The inside of this car was not in good shape. The back seat was missing. There was also cancer in the floor under the driver. The front seat was torn up and the carpet was rotted out, even the headliner was torn. The tail lights on the back were both broken. You can also see that the paint is chipping away.

When I got this car I couldn't get into the engine comartment. It wasn't until about a month later I was able to get into the engine compartment to see the condition of the engine, plus see what kind of an engine was in there. When I got the hood up I saw the engine, it was the original pontiac flat head 8 cylinder engine. It had the original batterie hook up plus the original pontiac air filter with the company sign on it. It said on the air filter, Pontiac, under that it said pontiac motor division, and under that it said general motors corporation. Under all of that there is some small print. I am planning on rebuilding this engine so I can use that air filter in it again. I don't know how long this car has been off the road but I do know that this car was running in 1996, I found a bumper sticker on the front and back bumbers and it had the year 1996 on it and also the person who had it worked in Tracy CA. at some depot. Looking for someone right now who can do it for me. I do know I can't affor a high price person to do it but who knows, maybe that will change.

 After all of this is done, this car will look somewhat like this one but witha few small changes to it.
