Anyone rolling in sixties Pontiacs?

i've had lots of pontiacs, tempest/lemans/gto, firebirds and several big cars. the orange catalina's from the early nineties. i think the only thing i'd change is the painted bumpers, but that was how i rolled back then it got sold, painted candy brandywine, and was last seen languishing in the parking lot of an upholstery shop. a couple of years ago, i heard that the guy was looking for me, to see if i wanted to buy it back. it was a great car, but i hate that color, and the work they put out at that upholstery shop was horrific!

ol' rusty is my newest acquisition, a return to the pontiac fold, a fairly rare (first year) 2+2. i need the quarter panel trim and a straight(er) front bumper. it'll get a fresh interior, an overdrive and hand controls. we'll see what happens to the body later...

 

I've had my 62 for about 17 years now........

 

I have a couple...

the "original Wa-Goon"--plates from 78...389,tri power, 4 speed.

the "new girl..."64, 428,auto,LOADED g.p.


I have a problem with B.O.P.'s...I have too many and keep wanting more.

 

since I do not know how to post pics from previous threads, I will just give a link http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79974&highlight=junkyard+junky

 

Here's some shots of my '62 Tempest. Ran into a guy @ the Scottsdale Pavilions weekly car show who's got a '61 Coupe (seems to be one of only 10 left on the road) who was a wealth of info for me! I got it because it was the first and only finned car that had a 4 banger in it! Even with the tired mill in it blowing smoke I STILL get 27mpg

 

My buddy's 61 catalina....runs a 389, automatic for now..

 

Glad to see your little '62. I've always had a thing for the 61-3 Tempests. I've always dreamed of doing an injected straight axle '61. Then again, I dream about alot of stuff.

 

this is mine sorry the quality is kinda crapy

 

Thought I had some pictures but apparently they've all been lost over the years. I was a Pontiac fanatic growing up and had '57, '58, and '59 2-dr hardtops and a '61 convert. The '61 had all the good stuff from the factory including 4-speed stick, tri-power, etc. Wish I'd been smart enough to hang on to at least one of 'em.

 

Just last Thursday BenD delivered a 66 Catalina to me from Misouri that I bought off ebay......As I was closing the deal I saw this thread and was terribly inspired by Road Apple and the Gambino cars......I'll send pics soon....

 

Would be cool to see some more pontiacs!!!! Bump!!

 

My '60 Bondo Ville......

 

66 gto

 

'64 Tempest

 

My '61 Bonneville. 348hp tripower/four speed, special order paint from the factory. I added the 8 lugs wheels.

 

here's another old shot of the catalina...

 

here is a shot of my 65 lemans from the invasion show last weekend.

 

hey monsterflake, what happened to the old rusty one from the pic? what year and model was that?

 

63 Catalina

 

hey brother these cap look familar ?? hey lux how about the tri power look familar ???

 

How 'bout a '68 Firebird 350 coupe?? bought it about 6 years ago on ebay..Wife said it was in Albany, i said go ahead than and bid. We won and soon found out it was Albany Oregon WTF ?? wrong coast...Anyway bought it sight unseen.. did good for the money..Put alot of time and money in it. Nothing left now but body and paint. Goes down the road like a new car..not a squeak!

 

I like the '64 A-body cars.

GTO hardtop, '71 455 HO







Tempest coupe, '73 455 w/'66 Tri-Power







Lemans convertible project, '64 389 GTO 4-barrel

 

I have a 64 2dr hdtp Lemans, 65 Catalina c'vert, and a 65 Tempest wagon.

 

Sold my '61 Catalina 421 Super Duty, then built this one...

 

Beautiful '63 you have there.

All it needs now is one of these 'bathtub' intakes:

 

Bart, has some neat stuff

 

Here's mine.Sorta, its canadian. The title says it's a Pontiac, not a Nova

 

Just freshened up my 67 GTO.

Now I can get back to work on my 3 window, once I build up some funds.

DragginGTO,
Interestingly enough, when we were developing the engine's performance on the Dyno, we tried a Bathtub intake. A friend named Randy Williams wanted us to test one of his Bathtubs to see how it stacked up against the Wentzler tunnel. IDENTICAL numbers. Looks like Pontiac had it right, all those years ago...
