This thread got me to wondering. 50th is still 2 years away. (Class of 74). So I got to looking. Found a public Faceberg page so I checked it out. I don’t do Faceberg but it let me scope it out. Saw many old fat people. I don’t know these people!!!!!
Apparently with the current attrition rates, they have some kind of gathering every year. I remember going to the 10th anniv. I really have nothing in common with these people. Didn’t 50 years ago either.
I doubt I would be remembered by any of these ancients. The next gathering is in November. Still not sure I want to make my presence known.

I don't like running across ONE of those people.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Nice Pontiac and congrats Kirk on achieving 50 years after graduation.
I had a second hand 64 Lemans 326HO and powerglide, in Aquamarine. Loved the car. Dad wanted a GTO but realized mom couldn't drive a stick shift so the HO Lemans was purchased. A 389-3 speed trans gave her longer burnouts but 5mph less top end. Single 4 bbl or tri-power optioned? In '67, a friend one grade ahead of me shelled the 3 speed trans on his '65 GTO and called me to come take a look at it. He had the transmission laying out in his driveway and when I glanced at it, I asked him where his tranny was as the one in the driveway was a Ford unit. He said that was the one that was in his car. Did some checking at the Pontiac house and found GM had a 3 speed shortage around '65 and had contracted Ford to produce their tranny with the GM bolt pattern and input shaft.

Some of the legacy brand fanboys would be amazed at how inbred the (former) big three automakers were/are. When I worked at a GM aluminum foundry over 40 years ago, we made parts for Chrysler automatic transmissions, aluminum brake drums for Ford, and aluminum piston heads for everybody. There were other parts as well, but those come readily to what’s left of my mind. All the US automakers put the parts out to bid. Every plant was bidding against the other plants in the corporation as well as outside.

To bad you are afraid to go to your reunion, your words not mine. The guys that use to beat on you probably would leave you alone now.

Have number 60 coming up next summer, will be fun watching a bunch of 78 years olds trying to do the Twist. Had a class of 250, already have lost about 40%, lot's of good friends gone. Nam was hard on my class. Back in 63 owning a car in HS was a big thing. Lots of late model 50's , mine was a 55 Merc. You could buy a nice driver for around $300. We get a decent turn out, we had a close knit class, there were the regular group of outsiders, but no one picked on each other and many played sports together. There is a group of us that are still gearheads, many own sweet looking rides like yours. This year I'll show up with my newest Summer Ride, and get a lot of attention, but some of the guys still have their 60 dream cars that bring back sweet memories. One thing about reunions, the girls seem to look better and the guys sure look older. Still have the same wife, met in college and have been married 54 years.

Are you the shrapnel that posts a lot over on Hunttalk?
If so you have some dang fine firearms.
