I found a request for Original Owners of Pontiac Cars to contact Jack Anderson @ POCI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a 30 minute discussion, I was informed that they offered a Original Owner Award at the yearly Car Show Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to qualify for the Award I needed to provide the following documentation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuous ownership of the 1968 Pontiac GTO; Original Documentation, State Registrations, State Insurance, State Inspections, Maintenance Invoices and Vintage and Current Photos and more<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Documentation was provided to POCI for their review. Early January 2024, I was notified that the 1968 Pontiac GTO was Certified as a Original Owned GTO.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> I called Jack and mentioned we could not attend the 2024 Convention. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> His response was No Problem.
