About bencar’s Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I grew up in a household headed up by a Mechanical Engineer, from the time I was old enough to know what's what, I was surrounded by machinery, people who talked about mechanical devices, and of course cars. I've been active in the hob by for over 32 years, restord 2 cars, run a Car Club, write for the Pontiac-Oakland Club International (http://www.poci.org), and PontiacRegistry.com (http://www.pontiacregistry.com). I also belong to the National Firebird & Trans Am Club, and the National Street Machine Club.

This is a place for 4door and wagon owners to get to know each other and show that these vehicles can be and are cool cars! Some car shows have started having classes for these vehicles and I would like to see more event promoters reconize these vehicles.

- Ben, I enjoyed reading the story of your T/A. Great car and I really like the color of the car. It's almost as nice as MoPar Orange.
You're a lucky guy that your girlfriend/wife enjoys the hobby too. Tough call on giving the car to your son. I honestly don't know what I'd do in your shoes.
