Eyes are open in the southern suburbs. I'll spread the word.
I will be rebuilding it myself. It will only go in for machine work.
I'm Pontiac to the core and this isn't my first rodeo. I'm definitely more than willing to do what it takes to keep the Pontiac power plant in my...
Mostly stock. Already put in a 3.42 limited slip from a '63 2+2, a 200-4R from an 80s Monte Carlo and added a rear sway bar for changes. I've...
After over 13 years of owning this car and picking at it yearly to keep it road worthy, I am finally going to start painting the car and...
Studs are oiled on this engine.
Thanks man.
Looking to get a little more out of my engine this year and a cam would do the trick and not cost a fortune. I've always heard that running a...
Nope, I love this car. Have had it for 11 years now and have been slowly modifying things. I like to be unique, do what I like to do to the car....
Complete restore this year, including wiring in my '59 poncho.
Damn, there's some time in that thing. Too much for my taste though.
Here's current thoughts for the new hood. I can't fit a 6x2 cross ram under the current hood. :D
Putzing on craigslist last night and found this. He uglied it up with scallops. I think there's MUCH better options than this. I'll have to keep...
With a quick search all I find are the bars for the Bonneville.
I already have the tri power. LOL! Also have a limited slip differential in her. Just looking for some input and thoughts. No disrespect to...
Oh, and mine doesn't sit much higher than that. Really close except the back rides a bit higher. When the trunk is loaded she sits damn level. I...
That looks nice. I can kind of see it running the rain gutter. I was thinking maybe something running the back of the front wheel well and the...
Oh yes it did, I couldn't make it out the driveway on an angle without dragging the rear bumper. And I have a flat driveway with a roll-off curb...
That was the best pic I had here. LOL! I've since replaced all the suspension and put a 1 1/2" lift on the rear. It's funny, I never take pics...
Pondering doing some scallops on my '59. I think it would accentuate some of the cool lines on my car. Any thoughts? I know some people don't like...
The thread has been broken out so it's not so confusing. Here's a link: http://hardcorepontiacs.com/forum/8631-1957-bonneville-debate.html
Was flipping through books last night and found this. It's from the Standard Catalog of Pontiac 1926-2002 - 2nd Edition
From what I've found. No, it was only in the Bonneville. Does anyone know if it was by chance the same fuel injection system the '57 Chevy's ran?
Looks like I started something. Sorry. A buddy of mine contacted POCI and here's the reply. Apparently there's contradiction between different...
That is a good point.
The '64 and '65 GTO package was an option to the LeMans yet "LeMans" wasn't anywhere on the car either. Not trying to start an arguement here, but...
The extent of it is that I said it's not a model, but a trim package, option, whatever you want to call it to the Star Chief and it's being said...
Have a bit of a tiff on another forum and I figured this is the best place to ask. Is the 1957 Pontiac Bonneville a Model or a Trim Package? Yes,...
Back to the 50s 2008... I'm sitting behind my car with my hat over my eyes and over hear 2 guys standing in front of it: Guy 1: What is THAT...
Thanks a bunch man. I'll do a little looking over there.
