This is the first time I've ever heard of the X400s. That 60 is one gorgeous Pontiac. Thanks for show the photos.

So here is the other X400 Article, I may have posted it elsewhere at some point, but will serve it up again to tie in with the other posts here.
These are some incredibly rare cars.

I scoured my computer looking for a past Article that the builder of the X-400 had to fabricate one off parts using 3-D Printing like Tom S. is using on the SD Tunnel Ram Project, hopefully I will find it and post it here. For now, let me read Hester1976 X-400 recent posts!

You're welcome, also I did not know that there was more than one auto, same one, used in 62-63, they modified them and used it in 2 years of displays with different Engines? Turns out to be that there were more than one, more like + 1959-63-64?

I think these (2) RAV cars I will show in this post and the next have been covered in some other threads, but I came across these in the Pontiac Mag's to share.
Imagine showing up at a car show with one of these as bragging rights.

This one is the 1969 RAV Trans AM.. Pontiac Mag Aug 1988.

Tom, I thought you and your cars were in Hemmings Muscle Machines. I can't remember when but the cars were incredible. Probably not the only ink they got.

I quickly looked at the COVERS of my Pontiac and T/A Mags, and only the RA-V one's I posted so far are included, did not see any other articles other than this one attached - so far.
BUT, I am still working through a stack of them with earmarked articles that I will post at some point, and there may be something in there as there are a number of racing articles. If you provide a little more info on the cars or post a few pics I would know what to look for?
