Carter carbs made a three barrel ATB? [Alum Three Barrel ] in the early 60s for the Pontiac 421 engine. Carb was called ' the trap door' & was 938 cfm....

I liked the style of these GP's in the 80's. As well as the Cutlass, preferred their style over the Buick and Chevy counterparts.

At the time I felt like it was the least attractive and its what I had to settle for, but now if I could have it again I would choose it over most of the other g-bodies unless its one of the more special ones like a turbo Buick or Hurst Olds etc.

The last Pontiac built was a G6, but the last design they produced was the two seater Solstice Coupe, after the Solstice convertible showed its popularity.

Only 1,266 were made before the line was shut down, as opposed to over 64,000 convertibles.

The 260 hp. supercharged 4 cyl. GXP version did a 5.2 second 0-60 time

Pontiac built some cool stuff over the years.

They had Rochester fuel injection in the late 50’s, unfortunately it got axed before the 8-lug wheels came around. An 8-lug fuelie ‘61 Pontiac woulda been neat…

The OHC sprint 6 was a cool engine.

I’m not a huge GTO fan but the 68-72’s can be cool when optioned correctly.

Trans Am’s are neat. The Brewster Green screaming chicken delete that John Wayne drove in “McQ” was tits.

And all the collaborations with Fitch, the Macho T/A’s, Herb Adams, etc.

I like the ‘79 “Bandit” although it never was used in the movies. Make mine a WS-6, please! Say what you want about them, get behind the wheel of one and you just can’t help but fell like a bad ***…

The 80’s brought us the Nascar special 2+2 and of course the GN powered turbo GTA which might just be the finest F-Body GM ever cranked out.

And Pontiac was doing good things right up to the end, the 98-02 LS1 TA’s were hot, followed up by the Holden GTO and the G8 sedan. We ALMOST got a Holden ute Pontiac too but I guess that’s where GM drew the line and axed the whole thing…

They actually did sell a handfull of the holden/gto utes.

I posted a few when they were for sale a few years ago.
