Any Pontiac Fans here???

There are three pontiacs in the family. 77 4 speed trans am, 71 T-37, 68 GTO. They get parked with the mopars. We also have some other GM cars, but many more mopars.Lol

It seems to me the "C Body" {full size} Ponchos got the 8 lugs wheels?

yep !!

My friend has a rare poncho for sale. 64 Bonnevile 4 door that came with a 421. It is loaded. Power everything, air. White with red interior. Needs restored. Has a 389 in it but he has the 421. 8 lug wheels. His dad worked for GM. This was a GM executive car originally. Found some docs in the dash. It’s on Akron Canton facebook. 6900.00. Obo. He would love for it to go to a good home.

67 GTO is my favorite non-Mopar car. I'll take the tri-power 400 with a 4 spd.
And I think the early to mid 60s Pontiacs were the best looking big cars.

 

[Curiousyellow71]

My friends 66 tempest. 455 4 speed. 125hp nos.

cheap modern Pontiacs...! my favorite, a late 50's Bonneville witth Tri -Power. Remeber the theme song: "We bulid excitement...Pontiac"!

Pontiac built an experimental 427 OHC engine in the 60s. One of the Pontiac engineers, 'Mac' Mc Kellar got one & put it in his daily driver.

Mopars 1st
Pontiacs 2nd

It's almost automatic in my search and monitoring efforts. Probably because my Sr in high school car was a '66 GTO. My college cars were 1st a '68 Sport Satellite. Then '69 GTX. (The Mopars were a better build quality in my opinion than the Pontiacs.)

And that's always stuck. Chevy? All my neighthood friends were Chevy guys. And still are. Just too many. Thus was bored quickly. Fords? I'm least familiar.

Still waiting their turn to be finished.

As much as I love the look of those "8 lug" wheels...

...even in the late 1970's/early 80's is wasn't super easy to find them.

My mom's first car was a 59 bonneville, around 1975.

Kind of an odd idea having the brake drum be an integral part of the wheel.

Probably good for heat dissipation.

I really want a '98-'02 Pontiac Firehawk by SLP. 6-speed, black. I just now saw one sold at Mecum KC for $18k. It didn't say what transmission.

More FL CL

I likes me a 67 GP (I love the 67 only "full size car" bumper).

IDK about that 2 tone paint, though.

 

[SteveSS]

I saw a Pontiac 2+2 project on CS Marketplace. I love those cars but this one is in a million pieces.

An old friend mentioned something about a file that I might have on an floppy disk, and I was bored so I started looking. Yes I am set up to read old media like that at about a moments notice, and I found this old pic from the 90s of my Pontiac Grand Prix:

All that smoke from one tire to then run a blistering 15s on a good day.

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…
