Hello everyone. I hear this is a pretty active, friendly, and
knowledble bunch of folks.

I've been a member of the Poncho (Pontiac) mailing list for ten
years... any of y'all here, too?

Anyway, a 1977 Palm Beach has been sitting inside a metal building
since 1991. I am going to look at it today. The back four wheels have
been stolen or are otherwise missing. Ran when parked, interior rough
but not trashed, etc. $1,500. I go to look at it today at 4.

(Hrm, occurrs to me that the current owner might even be on here.)

From what I can tell, the guy is practically giving it away. I've seen
these GMCs sell online with fire damage for a few thousand dollars.

If I buy it, I'm going to need to find wheels so it can be towed to
the shop for belts/hoses/whatever else needs fixing after 20 years of
sitting.

I have access to a junkyard. Am I right in that there are a ton of
front wheels off GM dually pickups that will fit? I'm looking for the
cheapest possible way to get her rolling (under her own power or not).

If the guy will let me keep her in his metal building until I can get
"proper" Alcoa 16"s, then it's not as big an issue. I don't know if
he's in a hurry to get it gone.

Anyone have thoughts, suggestions, advice?

Robin
