Hi,
I am Allen from Kentucky.
I'm a musician who loves old cars from the 50's 60's & 70's. The gem of my collection is a 1976 Pontiac Astre Notchback Coupe. I also have a '76 Hatchback Vega and a '76 Kammback Vega Wagon
Sadly, an out of town real estate lady stopped dead in the road then just backed up right into my Astre. The damage was not too bad, but bad enough. I am now on a quest to find the final part I need to repair my Astre, The Lower Front Valance. Its the same part used on the Vega, and I am having a very difficult time locating any of these as they are very fragile. Any help on this honorable quest would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Allen

Uh oh...here we go. Anyways, when I was growin up, Grandpa had a '76 Astre wagon. He sold it in about '97 with 58,000 miles on it. Broke my heart when I learned he sold it. Brown w/tan vinyl. Nice, nice car.

I can tell you that one Vega hs been here. Not without some complaining. But as it's Packard powered, straight axle, Bonneville car they didn't kill it. There is a Vega/ Astre board somewhere esle.
