I recieved my Smoke Signals today and I thought I would share the Feature Car. It is a 1969 Lemans 350 HO 330 HP car. The engine is described as a smaller displacement RA III engine in the article by noted Pontiac author Don Keefe.
I think this car is pretty much everyone's idea of a muscle car, fairly nondescript body, dog dishes with red lines and a 330 HP mill. It was ordered into the family dealership by the Grandfather of the current owner. It was delivered to a friend and PDI'd by the owner's father. The car was lightly used and spent 25 years in a service garage until it was traded back to the dealership. The owner George Scott recieved the car from his father after his second tour of duty in Iraq.

'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
Yes, it is a 69. No vent windows, tail lights that settle into recessed in the top of the bumper rather than squarely in it, column mounted ignition, etc...
I have some neat old late 1960s into the early 1970s Pontiac performance cars brochures. They tend to be in a big format (not scanner friendly) plus I don't want to crease or damage them. The 1969 version shows a Tempest 2-door post with the H.O. stripes but it is in fact a Sprint OHC6. Most people don't realize the Tempest Sprint was made through 1969.

my buddy had a white post car 350 HO 4 speed, it had buckets no console, tach and 3.55 posi.....its the car that got me hooked on post cars..it was an extremely nice car...he parted it and used all the stuff on a 69 GTO...whatta shame
Very nice car. 350-330 hp, I would like to know how high the compression ratio is. I never really liked the big nose on the Pontiacs from 68-70 when they were new but I sure like them now!
