Driver Bio:
This is my 1975 Pontiac Grandprix. I bought it as a college graduation present to myself, and started working on her. It’s my version of what it should have looked like if they were to produce it as a Muscle Car. It’s very fun to drive, especially going in a straight line. I have to thank my wife for all the support along with friends and family.
