Really nice, clean looking Pontiac race car. Hope it does well in Hemmings auction. A real Ram air IV race car would make a true Pontiac lover very happy.

Nice combo for a race car IMO Those cars are so super clean too. But a drag car and get RAIV heritage to boot. Might be a hard resto but anything is possible if you really chose to .

Very clean car! Too bad they back-halved it, but I get it. That is the norm with drag cars

The market will dictate what it sells for. Hard to say with such a car. It was special when it was built, and now it's a race car with history. Also special. Some folks like one more than the other and vise-versa.

This was THE baddest 69 GTO built in 1969 I'd rather have it in stock configuration. But its probably locked into being a track car forever. 150k+ car if it were totally restored as factory |

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.
