There’s a Pontiac book that lists all the Sd’s. It’s a great book, a lot of info on a lot of things. ( Pete McCarthy )
A lot of pics of some rare parts. Most don’t even know Pontiac had this stuff.

Here's the page from Pete's book showing the '62 cars.

Although -I notice it does not designate which cars got aluminum, in the same way that he did for the '63 SD cars.

I just remembered this, a few years back, a guy at Norwalk had an orig SD alum frame on the orig skid for like 75k. Kinda strange thing to sell at a swap meet.

PJ Heck.

I believe Kenny C recently bought the frame and is building a car to go on top of it.

Small world. Lol.
I met a guy through a Pontiac guy that found the front clip from a 63 tempest SD, don’t remember his name, I think it was in Florida, it was a while back.

Mike Glass. He has the original aluminum from the Stan Long/Stan Antlocer car. That's why the car had a steel front end in the pictures during the ebay auction.

I believe he still has it. Unfortunately he wanted so much money for it that it was less expensive during the restoration to create a new aluminum front end from scratch.

I met this guy, his name was Wally, he did 2 63’s. A car and a wagon. The wagon was an OG 3 Spd Stick. The wagon was so cool, burg, all orig. beautiful interior. The Whole drive train was swapped out, the car was beautiful too, it looked factory the way he did it. a friend was going to buy it, it then was a sec or two slower at the track, my friend accused him of swapping heads or something. The car looked factory. I should have bought it. Wally was a cool guy and his work was over the top. I saw him at Norwalk, he wouldn’t take to me then. All because of Jim, my buddy. Lol

Wally Abela, maybe?

Yep. Lol. Jim, my bud, had Mickey Lolich’s 62 GP. It was nice, he sold it to a guy and in my opinion he ruined the car a bit, but so did Jim, lol it was an all orig car, then rite after the POCI article he pulls the whole drive train out. Lol. Drag races it, yada, yada, yada, lol he did try to buy it back for a few years but they never came to a price.
A couple years back, we were sitting on Woodward in August, I was at Jim’s Funeral in Jan, cancer took him that fast.
