http://www.welovepontiacs.com/history.html

 

Thanks guys.........My deceased father was a Pontiac salesman his whole adult life. Those old sales brochures brought back some wonderful memories. Dad had a '58 Bonneville convertible, fuel injection, air ride, white exterior with red cove. ( same interior combo) I was 12 at the time that car & times are indelibly imprinted in my brain!!!

 

SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doug you fuckin' amaze me..... dude you are the best.

 

Unfortunately, nothing good lasts forever guys.

 

my personal fave from that bunch...

 

and so it is written...

"on the 6th day at the very conception of time the Almighty hizself created and thus cast upon the earth an evil wind eminating from the great indian burial ground nestled deep in the bowels of a place that from this day forth shall be called "The Badlands"
it waz then that the great indian chief shook the lands with all of his spirtual powers snd from out of the fire and ashes it waz created...the now infamus PONTIAC powered 31 Ford coupe known as "She & I "
The legend as passed down from each great chief "She & I " born in the Badlands revised in a nightmare. The Pontiac gods from this day forth will cast a smile as the earth shall shake rattle & roll! This shall only end on the very last day of created time"

just me... Pontiac Slim

My pontiacs

 

Did mine just go up a bit in value?

 

My '40 under the Manhattan Bridge last summer. Drove it to work today!

 

Okay, not really 100% poncho, but has dash, steering wheel and 389 motor from a 1959 Star Chief; roof insert is the Pontiac's hood run backwards. For extra Pontiacity, note the grill ornament.

 

always loved the pontiac had a 66 2&2 421 , a 55 chevy with a 421 pontiacbut no pictures but this is a few pictures of my buddy glen,s 38 pontiac

 

The first tunnel ram intake (known as a 'bathtub' intake), brought to you by none other than the engineers at Pontiac in 1963 for doing battle in the 'stocker wars'. These came on the 410 HP 13:1-compression 421 Super Duty engines, equipped with two NASCAR 750 Carter AFB carbs. I doubt they had only 410 HP.



Another 421 SD engine, a 405 HP 12:1-compression engine with a low-rise 2X4 intake.



A rare reproduction of the 'bathtub' tunnel ram intake.







The 'bathtub' repro intake pictured above was produced by the late Dave Johnson, a hard-core Pontiac racer to the end. Dave was a truly dedicated Pontiac drag racer who put forth the effort to cast up his own intake for Nostalgia Super Stock competition. Dave's '63 'White Warrior' Tempest race car is pictured below, he ran the car with both a V8 and a 4-banger Tempest engine (right cylinder bank of a 389).

Car’s Best Time: 8.95 ET Seconds at 149.6 mph (with 442 CI Iron Block V8)
Minimum Weight with driver: 3,000 lbs.
Car’s Best Time: 11.65 ET Seconds at 111.48 mph (with 206 CI Iron Block I4)
Weight with driver: 2,710 lbs



Long live Pontiac, and the folks who made them into the true performance cars we all know and love!!!

 

Rockwell City, Iowa -- a still functioning Pontiac dealer sign
