stealing pics from the 'drag cars in motion' and 'nhra junior stock' threads...




holy cow, fuel injected stocker!







more big cars...



winner, winner, chicken dinner!

 

my 52 before the body came off, and my newly aquired 53. I actually fired up the 53 today, probably the first time in 20 years, and it purred like a kitten.

 

How about the mid - late 60's when the base model 6 cylinder was an OHC beast making more power than a stock 327 V-8!!!

 

I had the 67 Sprint version...ran 4:56s with cheater slicks,shifted at 6200.
Not the fastest car I've ever owned... but won more races and had the most fun of any car ever owned ....
Pontiac Slim

 

I've got my hands on a few and I'm currently rebuilding one... the factory redline was 6700 and from talking to guys that currently race them the stock 7 main bottom end will handle 600 horse reliably! Not bad for a base model 6 banger!!!

Here's a pic of my ride home in the Star Chief today...

 

GM is stupid, long LIVE PONTIAC

 

Saw this one at the Midnight Mass yesterday.....

 

37 Indian [/url][/IMG]

 

1965 Tempest -wagon

 

Five- Two Silver Streak (aka the Frigidare) Sedan Delivery

 

s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d "59 Bonneville

 

I just got a 62 Bonnie (4 dr pillarless) with 327.
Had it up to 100 on the freeway yesterday!!!!!!!
It had a few vibrations!
Its getting its 1inch whitewall Super Cushions put on tomorrow!
What a fantastic car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Get that Chevy engine out of there and make it a true Pontiac!

 

Actually, a 327 could be original equipment!

The Canadian Pontiacs (which were used in Canada and sold in Australia) were a mix of Pontiac body & interior and a full size Chevy chassis (X-frame, non-WideTrack, etc.).

Enjoy that Bonneville Vista Hardtop, mate!!

 

But didn't Canadian Pontiacs carry different model names than American built ones? I remember 'Pariseinne' (sp) instead of Catalina, Beaumont instead of Lemans, etc.

 

That is correctamundo!

Aussie CKD Ponchos were reassembled Canadian 'Chevicacs'!
Parisienne & Laurentian

Mine is one of 4 Bonnevilles brought over from the U.S. and converted to RHD IN 62!!!!!

It DID come with a 389 in pieces in the boot!

Oh.....and I did pay extra for the 4 barrell manifold and restored Carby

But the Camaro 327 in it runs GREAT ......if it aint broke, dont 'fix' it !!!

I put some 1 inch WWs on it today.....bias-plys......its like riding on a cushion of jelly!

Rust repairs are next!

Pix after that!

One on the road is worth ten in the garage!!!!!!

 

How about a beautiful '66 2+2 421/4-speed? They don't get much prettier!

 

my god, that's ENORMOUS!
