Welcome to the Nuthouse we call home! To me, there is something very special about a car that has always belonged to a single family. There is a connection there that just can't be denied. You will likely have many, many more years and many, many more miles (or kilometers) of happy motoring behind that 305. My brother got over 640,000 out of his 86 Pontiac Parisienne Safari, which is the same car as yours. I'm sure that if you have any questions about keeping the old car going strong someone here is sure to have the answer for you. I'm also sure that you will be able to answer questions that other members have as well, since you have so much experience with that car. Be sure to join in the discussions. You'll find it is a very friendly group here. One that comes to feel rather like a family once you get to know us. Welcome to the family!
