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

Nice Catalina Chico'72! I love it just the way it is!

 

Today's offering..... a rare '74 Firebird Formula SD455, the last TRUE high-performance Pontiac engine. And, yes the shaker hood on a Formula is correct.... it was a Super-Duty only feature in both 1973 and 1974.

 

we were just talking about that the other day, probably the rarest of all the super duty cars. that vinyl top is pretty horrible though...

 

Although I've never been a fan of vinyl roofs (especially on Firebirds and GTOs), it looks better in person than in these pics... it looks lighter than it actually is. Here's a better look at the top from the rear. The top works better on a Formula than a Trans Am, too!

Here's the really special part of the car, the Super Duty 455.

 

What a funny movie!!! Jackie Gleason is great.

 

Today's entry.... 1963 Catalina 2dr sedan, slightly modified!

 

Keeping this thread alive if I have to do it by myself!!!! How about a '65 Bonneville Convertible..... long and low!

 

I think this one was posted earlier on this thread -- figured I'd add a video from this past weekend!

'64 Catalina 2+2 PW, Tilt, Pow Ant, Reel out Trunk light, 8lugs, VVM, Trips, Auto...

WTF is GM thinking? They got rid of Pontiac (a real native american) and kept Chevrolet!!! A Frenchman.. well maybe they'll rename the new Chinese Trucks GM will be building Pontiac.

 

I know it's not HAMB friendly, but what about the first NHRA legal super stock in the 8's. Tom Huggin's 91 firebird SS/AM. 8.83 @ 163 MPH !!!!

 

Thanks for sharing the pics! Here's a couple from this year's Power Tour. Mine is the '59.

 

How about a strip-prepped Poncho, a nasty little '63 LeMans!

Here's my 68 GTO drag car. Unfortunately it's been apart since '05. But we are down to one kid left at home and she graduates this school year so there's hope for it hitting the track again in the future.





Here's a before and after of a 62 Catalina that I finished late this spring for a customer.







And one more of a customer's '55. He's been working on this car for 10+ years and brought it to me for some finish up work.

 

Anybody for a '70 Judge ragtop? I don't know if it was a real Judge, but it sure was nasty looking!

 

Today's selection..... 1966 LeMans ragtop!

 

I'll be damned if I'm gonna let this thread die! How about a Jim Wangers' Edition '69 GTO?

 

After sitting in a garage for the 20yrs, this one ran just Grrrrreeeaaaattt to the Drags and back. No tune-up, just fresh oil and gas. I got a thing for old Pontiacs

Here are a few from the Time Machine Nationals at the Great Lakes Drag-A-Way this Labor Day.....Enjoy! This is a very cool bunch of Guys.....Centurion9



































Ahhhhh.....Pontiac Goodness!.............................

 

Some awesome photos folks!

Can't add much cept for a picture of the engine in my 31 Ford. Of course a Pontiac
Pontiac Slim

 

That is my friend Merl Green's,he lives in Pepperell MA by me.

 

My best friend used to live in Pepperell (off Route 111, right near the airport). I never knew the Tin Indian lived there until a couple years after he left when I saw it at a car show.

Nice area up there.... we drive through every year on our way to New Hampshire (it beats towing a camper on 495!). By the way, I even bought my Roadmaster wagon there at Conway Chevy-Buick.

 

Here's my tribe. I've had others, a '66 Bonnie convert, a '67 Bonnie convert (my favorite one), a '72 T-37 coupe, '69 Firebird, and a '71 GP. Kinda looking now for a 60, 62 or 64 Cat, Ventura, or Bonnie.

 

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

 

Posted these a while back on another thread, but here they are again.

 

Pontiac's last try at a mid-sized musclecar. the 1977 Can Am.

 

Just shot this one on Sunday at a show in Norwich, CT..... 1964 Catalina 2+2 convertible. Tasty!
