Hey Guy's,
60 Pontiacs were sold new in Australia by Holden.
It was the Canadian model and would of had the 283 Chev engine in it. It has the same dash as a 59/60 Chev aswell. As far as I know they were shipped out in containers and assembled in Australia by Holden.
Same I guess as a '39 Pontiac that I bought. It was build 133 and ahad a Holden Badge on it in the engine bay. Holden started making their own cars in '48.
But....yes it is difficult to get anything for the Pontiacs. Panels and stuff like that aren't too bad....but High Performance stuff....well I'm ordering all of that from Jim Butler.
I would say that most Pontiacs in Australia would be the Canadian variety.....and most people put a chev in them anyway as it is so much easier and cheaper for them to get the parts.
60MAN.... There are some more pics of my car on Kurts web site.
Check em out and let me know what you think.
Greg
