Well, a dilemma certainly exists here. While, you may be correct that no factory-installed dual quads were available, and yes, the cam was a McKeller named after the Pontiac engineer who did all the performance work, I am fairly positive that Pete's car was exactly as I described it. Memory tells me that he ordered it from Piehler Pontiac, which was the big Pontiac dealer in Rochester. Now, whether or not he had them add the dual-quads or not, I just don't know. But, they sure were on the car when he picked it up. Fortunately, Pete is still around. I am going to try and get in contact with him to see if my memory is correct, and also to see if he has any photos, records, etc. which might help to resolve this conundrum.

 

I'm interested to see how this turns out. I worked at a GM assembly plant during the 64,65, and 66 model run. We made Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles. I don't remember ever seeing a dual quad engine go down the line. Three twos were sighted often.

 

I didn't notice the crank pulley at first. Yikes! that blower must have screamed!

 

Geez, I didn't intend to spark any controversy with my previous remark about 2-4s. It was more wishin' and hopin' than anything. I believe Stuart, Markyac, and 4everblue are on top of it. Perhaps the Pontiac dealer in 1965 was performance oriented and added aftermarket 2-4s to the car of oldandkrusty's friend. If they were the big Pontiac dealer and had been performance oriented before GM dropped out of racing in '63, maybe they continued in that vein even though the factory was officially out of it. Many other GM performance minded dealers did just that. Here's some documentation at http://www.oldride.com/library/1965_pontiac_catalina.html that shows the biggest factory engine in '65 to be the 421ci/376hp with 3-2s. Still wud like to hear the story from your friend with the '65 as I think it wud be interesting to hear what took place.

 

...looks mostly like a photoshop. Not so funny..

 

This pic makes me think of "Animal House"

 

Packard ?

 

Jack Dempsey?

 

Maybe not too bad, measuring the pulleys that could be in the 4.5 to 5 od range, 31,500 to 35000 at 7000 engine rpm..That engine a chev W, 348/409?

 

If you are referring to the 3 window coupe it is a 1937 Lincoln Zephyr.
I owned one from 1961-1975 and wish now that I still owned it!

 

Charles "Lucky" Luciano?

 

Maybe the Plymouth Plainsman earlier concept model?

 

In the black and white, the front bumper/fender treatment looks 60-61 Chrysler. The fins look 56 Plymouth. The vertical 'a' post threw me off to Ford or Packard.

 

So in other words you have no idea what Lucky Luciano looked like!

 

Still working on getting in touch with Pete, the owner of the '65 Bonneville convert. I want to know as much as anybody whether or not my memory was good or my addled brain just thought so.
