Looking good!  Liking the exhaust hangers. You have a heat shield in mind?  Looks a bit close on that third pic

Thanks, and if you are referring to the fuel filter/line I'll have to double check.

I have the flu, and that gave me the time to finish this.

I figured since the car is just a "what if" I figured it should have a back story.

The dealership I used as a start was a high-performance Pontiac group from West Vancouver, BC that made its own line of specialty models (think, a Canadian Yenko) called Royal (Conroy) Pontiac (http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/vwTrdmrk.do;jsessionid=0001veSGF2mJFaC5ByJYu7CwDML:HJ1UVGRBO?lang=eng&status=OK&fileNumber=0287547&extension=0) which shut down in 1981.  The time line fits the age of the car.  Royal used Beaumonts (aka Chevelles) and dubbed them Cheetahs.  So why not a Judge, right?  The interesting thing about most Canadian Ponchos is that they used Chevy power.

I dug through lots of resources looking for regular and GTO/Judge RPOs to create a believable (passable?) window sticker.  In truth, it is a giant rectal pluck (albeit an accurate one), but if I age the paper and laminate it should make for a nice conversation piece at the local car show.

Thanks.

Well it was 1980, a GN in '87 was $15k, so it seemed reasonable given a base Lemans wagon was around $6,350.  Almost all of the options prices came from one resource or another, except the GTO/Judge thing those are mostly made up.

Hey... hey... calm down.  I just went off of this: http://www.gnttype.org/numbers/rpo.html

$11,562 (base regal) + $3,574 (WE2) = $15,136

I wasn't trying to offend anybody.

Don't think you offended any one, at least not me. This is the internet after all.

Dave, used the word "hell" and I got my purse strap in a knot... because we all know how hypersensitive I am.

I still like you guys better than the GTO restoration asshats at http://www.gtoforum.com/forum-index.php who clearly take themselves waaaaay too seriously. ;)

Those are real Canadian prices for a late '87 build, you can use those prices.
Late builds were loaded and came out to $23,500-$24,500
Z28's, BMW, Mercedes were cheaper,- these were not cheap cars to buy in Canada.
