I'm not really into introductions but I can assure you that I am a Pontiac gearhead for over 30+ years and basically lived Pontiacs. I have 3 68 Firebirds but have owned at least 12 first gens most all 400 4sps and a 1968 Endoru delete GTO with a 4 sp 400, a 1978 Trans Am with Pontiac 400 and WS6 suspension. I also have still a 1989 GTA Trans Am Convertible with the L98 350 . It has 78 options which I think is everything you could ever order. I beilieve its 1 of 50 made with the 350. With the 1968 Firebirds, I show one, race one and used one for my daily driver until the second restoration. It now has 538,000 miles on the odometer and looks new again. It is no longer my daily driver.
My Step dad had a 1965 GTO Post with every option except for air . It only had 15,000 mies on it when he sold it about 7 years ago to a guy out of Castlegar BC for under $10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was he thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the guy had it listed after he finished it for $56,000!!! It was always garaged and had no rust at all!!!!!The last time it was registered was 1967. Enough of my step dads car!!!!
Here is one that is in this movie. This car has a stock built 400 with non ported heads. Does 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds and the quarter in 12.5 on piss gas and then with a bad mix of nitrous (way way rich) 11.75 seconds. At 12.50 my top end is only 105 mph but with nitrous its 118 bouncing off the rev limiter. This has been solved with taller tires but I have yet to go to the track with them on. Crank this video and hear what a stock pontiac can sound like. 6200 RPMs is not that scary with a 400.
Lately I have been overwhelmed with having 11 cars and me doing all the work, and running my own business, and the endless honey do lists, its a handfull.
I am now working n a 1936 5 window coupe that will be a total custom and a 1929 Whippet 3 window coupe that has only 1962 and older parts including a 1952 Desoto hemi.
My 21 year olds 1968 Nova that I did for him and its his daily driver!!! How about that!!! The first picture is what it looked like 10 years ago. The second picture is what it looked like in 8 years of a non car guy owning it. The 3rd picture is when I rescued it and redid it with different color and rally stripes.
Oh and I was born in Canada. Vancouver B.C and lived in N. Vancouver for the first 20 years of my life.
