    Yep it and a few more Green Meanies have been posted here on the HAMB. If you search the HAMB with that name a bunch of hits come up mostly about a dragster with that name.

    That is soooooo cool, and with a Pontiac motor instead of a SBC for a change. Doesn't get much better than that. Color me jealous.:D

    Great looking car and I like the chrome wheels, baby moons, and wide whites. Although I hope you didn't pay too much as the fins on the valve cover breathers don't line up with those of the cover valve covers themselves!

    Great job Groucho ,,,that is a real find !
    Man,,,,,I’m glad you are back,,,,,I always enjoyed reading your posts about street racing and stuff . General hot rod street stuff from back in the day .

    Seems like your old tagline was you were looking for old chrome spoke steering wheels that were metal flake ?

    Yes, I collected for a while, and mounted them on my shop walls and doors. One day I realized they sorta became invisible to me so I sold them. I bought this off ebay a couple days ago for the 32. A bit pricey at $300+tax, but I think this car deserves it. The one on it now sticks out badly.

    What a great car! Congratulations Groucho! How is the chassis and stuff underneath? Ready to drive or need some attention?
    Love that Pontiac.
