My other abuses of Pontiacs were tied to dirt track racing, and building a demo car from a 71 Bonneville 4 door hdtp. Many of the dirt track cars ended with a crash to devastating to repair the cars.
Ran my 65 GTO 389 with a rod knock until the rod went through the side of the block and was close enough to home that I coasted home. The next day day just for grins I hit the key and it started up, shook terribly with one rod off of the crank, but it didn't want to die............LOL. I replaced it with a freshly rebuilt 67 Bonneville 400 engine I rebuilt myself at home, summer of 1971.
76 Catalina Safari wagon I loaded about 25 sheets of T111 in it to sheet my garage at home. I owned 2 of these clam shell wagons (71 and a 76) and they were like a 1/2 ton PU with a cap for hauling. In the signature pic you can see the blue 71 Grand Safari parked behind the 69 GP race car.

Those clamshell wagons are great for hauling. Big stack of leafsprings, heavy duty 9.3 inch rear ends, big wide openings with tailgates out of the way.
