I started tearing the car apart this weekend. Found more of the burned up wiring and repairs under the hood. I'm just amazed that this thing started and ran with all the toasted wires and crispy fuel lines Pulled all the carpet out and this is how the floors looked. Just amazing. All the original mastic sound deadener in place, shiny overspray on the floor. Gotta love California cars!

Here's the front floor. The car still has its original Hurst shifter on the M-22...you know the one you can sell on ebay for $900 per bolt

Gotta love this guy's version of a performance exhaust. The car still has its stock 455HO manifolds (non cracked) with all this stuff attached to it. See if you can count all the adapters on the exhaust system

Here's the engine compartment ready for engine removal. All the toasted wiring is on the cowl.

And here's the engine VIN in case anyone out there is unfamiliar with Pontiacs. It is stamped on the passenger front face of the block, below the water pump inlet. Just about impossible to see unless you're under the car, looking up, or you've removed everything in the way.
