Long road trips with vintage Pontiacs?
Well, for me a 2-3,000 mile trip, have done more of them than I can count. 250-500 mile trips, several each and every month.
Longest drives?
Have driven 2 separate road trips that exceeded 10,000 miles in vintage Pontiacs.
The first one was the entire month of October 1993 in a 70 GTO with a 455 I had just put together a few days prior. We covered 36 states and parts of Canada. That first one was 10,400 miles in about 30 days.
To date, my longest road trip was in my 1972 455HO GTO, a real round port GTO. That trip started in Sept, about this time of year, in 2007 and I returned home in early November. So, was on the road with my 72 GTO for 7weeks and covered 10,800 miles with her. This trip is fairly well documented here on PY. Oh, to add to it, I towed something the whole distance of this trip. The first leg of it, I towed a 1975 Trans Am behind my GTO from Phoenix, Az to Columbus, OH. The last leg of this trip, I towed a 1968 GTO from Mo back to Phoenix. And hauled parts inbetween. It was a great adventure and I have seen so much of the US and Canada in my vintage Pontiacs- 47 states and counting, all with a 1961-1972 Pontiacs of various models.
Last month, I just made a 4,200 mile trip with this same GTO. I also towed the entire length of this trip with it too. I delivered a frame from Az to IL after a detour to visit the Bonneville salt flats during speed week and hauled back to Az a 1974 GTO from MO. Much pics on my face book page - Pontiac Heaven.
Driving vintage Pontiacs is the best and no trip would be as enjoyable without one.
