I know it says it has a 455 but I think I saw this one on a TV show & they actually built a 455 chebby engine in it. An LS engine. It's a very nice car but just has the wrong engine in it. I do like the alum. ralley II's with the wider stance though. The body is lazer straight. I took lots of money to do that one. But when they get to that point you are afraid to drive them.

As a one owner car it should have been all original, too bad they customized it.

I think it's their car and nature to do with it as they please. Plus they did...

Losi's 67 Riviera is a work of art. Hutton is Boyd's former paint/body man.

Whoa, I had no idea it's Gil Losi's car (of Team Losi R/C)
As a kid, I helped pay to build it lol Love the wheels  Just curious if they actually had to do any tubbing/narrowing to the rear in order to fit? I'd like to get the same wheels for my 70, but would still want to be able to switch back to the original RallyII's . Also, it's his car and he should be able to do with it as he pleases..........As long as he kept it Poncho powered that is lol |

Yes his memory must be a bit hazy...
"Losi’s original ’70 Firebird Trans Am, which he’s owned since he bought it new in 1969." No production cars were built before 1/1/70, and the plate number 306BTP corresponds to an initial registration date of April/May/June of '70 |

It's his car and his money to spend as he pleases, but I would have made a different choice. Not my cup of tea.
For the money spent you could just build a new car and save the old. |

I just noticed there's no stripe on the roof. That's the only thing I'd really have to change.

Jeez, you can please everyone some of the time, and some people all of the time, but never both.
I love the car. If they were all left stock, then they'd all look the same. If they all looked the same, this would be one boring hobby.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
