Here is a picture from last year's show. It appears to be alive and well.



The link to the show info: http://www.cruisinforthekids.com BTW this is a very small show open to any make. There are usually 5 or 6 Pontiacs.

No idea if the car will be there this year (I don't know the owner)

Those early radials tended to explode if driven too fast. I imagine the shock absorber troubles were caused by the crappy tires. From the Brock Yates article:

12th. Dave Shugars, Ann Arbor, Michigan; Dennis Weglarz, South Lyon, Michigan; Ron McConkey, Milford, Massachusetts; 1974 Pontiac Trans Am; 40 hours, 43 minutes; average speed, 71.3 mph: These are three engineers, on vacation from the emissions laboratory at the proving grounds at what we will enigmatically describe as a Big Three automaker, ran an immaculate Firebird with one of the rare 455 super-duty engines and a tall 2.60 final drive. Unfortunately, a speeding bust, shock absorber troubles and set of radials that were excellent in the rain but limited top speed to 110 mph ruined their chances for a high placing.

Cool pic - when Steve Loudin last entered his 74 SD in the Cannonball Race after it was restored he hit 150 mph with it --good tires ( Z rated ) does make a difference .
He also got a AWARD from Brock Yates -- Awesome !!!! .
Heres a pic from that race --more for fun though .
