Very cool for not only Astre/Pontiac guys but all H body folks. Also interesting from a nostalgic point of view from the 70's.

There were just a few PS Astre's Back in the day, My favorate was the 1973 version of Chief Chilly Willy Driven by Bert Straus. I may also Like it because it was Pontiac V-8 Powered!
Harry did I mention he was Canadian?

cool article.
2 things hit me. 1 is that the original owner was still wrenching and intended on driving this Bad ass little car well into his 60's. Shame he missed out on it.
and 2 is.... this guy bought 40-50 k worth of stuff from this estate and didn't even know the car was part of the deal???? wow.
Thanks for sharing

We are all around you and most don't even notice! Especially if we watch the "Eh's"cammerjeff wrote: Harry did I mention he was Canadian?
Hey Jeff it is a '73 Astre, only available in Canada so that is a dead give away! Fred is going to be all over that when he checks in! And this is Excellent! All H-Body coverage helps, this kind WAY WAY more so than the 10 worst cars type (those help as there are always a few that share there great experiences!)
