Nice Gavin, I think that E box showing the blue Pontiac is quite hard to find.

...which is actually inappropriate, as this is not a model of a muscle car.

Muscle cars are small cars with big engines. The Grand Prix was the coupé version of the big Pontiac of the time.

Too many people mistake this model for a GTO!
