I think they were shipped totally dry. Contrary to other people's opinions, I actually thought Vegas were pretty cool looking, just not engineered to last.

This had to be one of the coolest car haulers in history.

The ones with the steel sleeves in them actually did pretty well. A friend of mine had a wagon. We got it up to 110 one time. The Cosworth thing was cool too.

That stacked hauler thing is insane. I have been wondering how long they let them sit after delivery before they cranked one up.

About Us

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.
