I wonder how rare those lights are now. I used to love those bubble gum machines on the roof......you could see them coming for miles.

The lightbar is a Federal Signal Twin Beacon Ray, also known as a Visibar. Here are two more pic of special Pontiac A bodies.

If you really want a ligh bar like that you can find one HERE

While most people remember the 1974 Hurst Olds Indy Pace Car, I have never heard of a '74 Pontiac Lemans Daytona Pace Car. Neat! I wonder what was under the hood? Seeing a left-hand tailpipe suggests that it is a dual exhaust car (I doubt it's a single lhs exhausted six). I wonder if it is a 400 4-barrel or even a smogger 455? You could still get a 400 4-barrel dual exhaust V8 with a 4-speed manual in 1974. It was the last year before the catalytic converter. At that time I figured I was witnessing the last of the new genuine dual exhaust cars. Who would have expected a performance renaissance in the late 80s and beyond?


You know, I have not been able to snap a picture of it and I certainly dont want to be the sort of person who snoops around in peoples private lives, but down the street from me is a 1973 Grand Am coupe with a 400 in a garage. It is literally buried under 4 feet of junk. It even has a set of 15x7 Honeycomb wheels on it. Lots of people diss the larger 1973-77 A-bodies but I do have a sort of soft spot for them. A Grand Am is a comfortable car with great instrumentation and handling for its day, plus a 400 at least.
