    Hello all! Been lurking for about a year and figured it was time to join in. I'm a fitter from South Jersey and have been a wagon guy since I was a kid. I've owned four wagons, ,a 1977 Catalina Safari, and three '80's Colony Parks.
    My current ride is a '04 Mach 1 with 25K on it. OW, manual, and 1 of 512. Fun car but the kids are growing, and fast at that. Its time to start looking for another wagon to cart them and the dog around in.
    I would really like to get back into another Pontiac, and I see a few here have them. Preference would be a 77 or 78 with the 400, and all red, just like my last one.

    John

    Welcome! Good luck getting another wagon! I guess you were hinting at selling the stang? Don't do it!!!! We had 2 kids 14 months apart. The old woman (I can say that she's 7 years older!) told me I needed to sell my truck and buy a mini van...that never happened, instead I found a wagon at a great price. More cars are better than less. I'll keep my eyes peeled for that 77 Pontiac. BTW it's scientifically proven that red makes cars faster

    Thanks!

    No chance the Mach will be going anywhere! I searched for 8 months for the right one, now it's mine for the long haul. That and my older son might kill me if I got rid of it!

    I have also heard that about red, even more so than a fresh coat of wax!

    Welcome aboard. I love the 03-04 Mach 1
    I am a bit jealous of anyone who has one. Hopefully you find the perfect wagon to haul your family around in.

    :Welcome:Stick. Good luck finding your next red wagon. It's also known as "resale red" and "Speeding ticket Red"
    I don't see why anyone in their right mind would want a red vehicle!:90:

    Welcome
    Love the Mach 1, had a Lemans and a 79 Bonneville Safari and am now on my 2nd 80's Colony Park. I love going 0 to 60 sometime today and a quarter mile this week! good luck and fun on your quest for another Pontiac

    Welcome to our little corner of the net. Glad you finally came out of the shadows. Very nice Mach 1. Keep us in the loop with the wagon search.

    My wife was having problems while we lived in Florida. I got her a maroon wheelchair at the auction place. Sort a red like my Salsa red Impala is sorta red.
    That Mustang of Stick's would be faster if it was RED
