I bought this car in 1991 to work on and restore while I was in High School. I was supposed to sell it for college tuition. I drove it my first few years of college but the commute really took a toll on it's condition so I parked it. In 1997 I brought it out of storage and began driving it again. In 2002 began a complete chassis restoration correcting all the things I did to it when I was younger. It's basically had a frame-off restoration without actually having had the frame removed.

I just can't get over the color of this car. It's the perfect shade of green. Also really impressed at how the interior looks to be in perfect shape.
Thanks. I restored the interior a few years back so it is mostly new. What ever wasn't available in reproduction I rechromed, cleaned, polished or re-dyed.
Regarding the color, this shade of green is actually very common on '68-'70 Pontiacs. Unlike a lot of other colors that were shared among the GM banners, Verdoro Green was exclusively available on a Pontiac. For most people it's a love it or hate it color - I happen to like it despite how common it is. To be honest, the shade of my car isn't 100% correct. The original color has more yellow in it than my car has. I had to settle for this shade when I had the car repainted in 1993.
You have a very nice car. I like the detail work under the hood very clean. The AC is a nice touch for cruising.
That is one clean classic!
Awesome! Awesome! Love the Goats.
