I had a chance to buy one back in 1976-77. I couldn't come up with $4500 for the car, Bonneville wagon tow car and trailer. Cars were in Texas if I remember correctly.

Mid 60's Ponchos are nice looking cars.

My second car as a kid was a 1961 Pontiac. I think Dad paid $175 for it. Four door StarChief with a two barrel 389.

Love the rear view of the 1960s and the "sport coupe" roofline of the 1961 Pontiac. Tommy Nolen has a gaggle of these rarities as I recall .

One of my girl friends dad had a Pontiac like this back in the day she was cruising one day is how I noticed her and dated her for a while. Don't remember if it had those wheels but same body two door hardtop and color. Didn't marry her...

I was at engine builder Rick Johnson's shop a few years ago. He had a magazine opened to the page with a story and pictures of the Grey Ghost Pontiac. Swiss cheese with Hilborn injection. I commented about where those cars ended up. He said try looking arounf the shop. It was on the other side of his parts shelves. Very nice piece of history.
