History F**K That *other* Pontiac thread, let's see what made 'em GRRRREAT!

Some of mine...curiously, I presently do not own any Pontiacs... Gotta fix that right the fuck away...

 

Some more of mine...

 

catalinamino?

 

My dads 67 bird that he has owned since high school . Has a 421 out of a 2+2 catalina and a rock crusher mated to it.

 

hope this comes out OK
Pontiac Slim

 

Sprint 6

 

even though most of this thread deserves a big meaty mullet - I dig it.

 

I love pontiacs. My dad was a Pontiac freak and I learned to love them too. I wish I had pics of all my pontiacs I've owned. All I can find right now is a pic of my old 70 Firebird which was my most recent Pontiac. I have owned about 10 Pontiacs ranging in years 1964 - 1970



Here are a few old pics of my Dads 67 GTO Drag car. First one is at Famoso Raceway not long after he got it in the mid 80s. The other one is mid 90s It was a little prettier and faster by then. God I miss that car...and my Dad too

how about Eddie Hills twinns ! !

 

can't believe nobody said this yet
Is that a real PONCHO? or a Sears PONCHO?


Go back a couple pages....you'll figure it out

 

Ponchos are kool!!

 

A buddy of mine pointed me to this thread (and I have since posted a little earlier in it with some pics of my past and current Pontiac - black 63 Catalina). I got to digging and found an old picture of my buddies 64 Catalina 2+2 from back in our high school days (late 70's). I scanned it for you all to see. He still owns this tri-power four speed gem but no longer sports the "fro" hair He still drives it, to this day, like it was ment to be driven...

 

let's see more of this one! i've got one, too, but you don't see very many on the interwebz...

 

I can think of many things that Pontiacs Grrrrreat here are a few.

the silver streak
the red indian head logo
lighted hood ornaments
55, 56,57 Safaris.......made a Nomad look plain jane
fuel injected Bonnevilles
the straight eight
multi colored naugahide interiors in the early sixtes
tri power!!
ram air
64 GTO the car that truley started the muscle car era
the 62 Grand Prix......one of the coolest cars out of Detriot ever
hood mounted tachs
bubble top Catalinas
8 lug wheels
his & hers shifters
the best dealer brochures and ad art
the vertically split grill
"swiss cheese" Catalinas
big chrome topped consoles, with tachs mounted in them
the early Trans Ams
ohc sixes

Above all Pontiacs had power & STYLE!!!!

 

I had the same combo in mine about 20 years ago... Mine never broke, should've never sold it.

only 2 American cars in 1962 to with a rear transaxles... and only one with a front engine.

 

Rumor has it that an investment group wants to buy Pontiac from GM

Another view of the bitchinest Poncho in all the land.....

 

DUDE!!!
This car RULES on so many levels.....

 

it's hard to tell, but it looks like a dual snorkel 409 air cleaner. it's (street) freakin' awesome!

 

Thanks monster. I thought that whole SD Tempest find was just crazy. Anyways, RIP Pontiac...

 

been having fun with Pontiacs since coming home in 1968. The current pair.
