My 79 Formula was my favorite... seeing it was the only new from the dealer car I've ever owned. My all time favorites tho are the 2 66 GTOs [I still have one of them] and the 66 Tempest Custom I've owned. Next was the 64 4 DR HT Star Chief my folks had, and was the car I learned to drive with. Actually.... they all are my favorites. How can you choose just one you've owned when they all say Pontiac on it?

[64speed]

Any 64 or 66 A body turns me on, Tempest Lemans or GTO

[Lightfoot]

Two body styles that were introduced in the 1970s. One, that came out the year I took driver's ed, and the other the year after I graduated H.S.
But those time coordinants are just a coincidence. I really got turned on by them a few years after they were new, when I started attending the stock car races every week in 1980.
My favorite: The 78-80 Grand Am coupes. The 1980 would be my ultimate, since it's production was ended before it even hit 2,000 units. Only produced in six colors & 2-doors. Easily identified by it's 3 grill sections per side, vs 5 sections per side on the 78-79.
I tried to buy a red one in 1989. It was the only '80 I ever got a chance to drive.
I owned a '78 GA from 1985-2005.

Close 2nd favorite: the 75-77 Ventura. A '76 or '77 SJ would be my cup of tea because they had those cool waffle board tailights and spiffy stainless lower body side panel moldings. A '75 Sprint would be just as welcome, however.
I owned a '75 Custom hatchback from 1982-1989. When I found it in the newspaper classifieds, it was like a fantasy come true. It had a V-8 and manual transmission, the latter of which I wasn't even sure was available that year, except maybe with a 6-cyl.

My dad was selling Pontiac's when the GTO first came out - so my '64 GTO Convertible is truly my dream car.

That said, my first car was a '60 Bonneville - will always have a special feeling for those cars.

In the fall of 1969, when the first Pontiac Trans Am (1970, Lucerne Blue, Ram Air, 4spd) to hit the dealership in Hibbing, MN came in, it was my dad's demonstrator for the first month. I used to rush home from school, eat real fast, so that I could go sit in it and row that 4 speed while listening to the radio (hey - this was small town America - dad always left the keys in it). I was 15 at the time. I need one of these.

Ahhhhhhhh yes these old cars sure do take us back. I wish there was a way to turn back time. Those days were un like any we will ever see again. The one good thing is we all still have the passion, and some of us can bring those times back by finding and getting that special car that we once knew in a different time and place. Ones we remember from our youth, ones that took our families places, ones we couldn’t wait to hop into behind that big ole steering wheel and pretend to be driving them, even making car sounds. ahhhhhhh yes so many memories.

[TAKerry]

My favorite Pontiac is a tie between 3. A Judge (orange or whatever that colour is of course), 70 Trans Am-White-, 77 Trans Am-black. I have the 77, doubt I will ever be able to afford the first two.
BTW, mom had a Cordoba also. Pop traded his Olds 98 in on it. The Olds rusted out after 2 years, dad was so mad about he swore off of GM for many years afterwards. I remember the Chrysler was a pretty nice car, but I was only 12 or so at the time so who knows?

I’ve been to Norwalk twice. Both times it was so stinking hot, I couldn’t sit in the bleachers all day. I may have seen it run not knowing who’s car it was, after all there’s a lot of birds running there.

You would know it if you heard it. A real Pontiac engine on 90% nitro is hard to miss.

My favorite Pontiac was my 73 Firebird. Why? Just because it was my first car. I wish I kept it but traded it on advise from wiser parents.

Actually now that I see the wording on the side BOSS I believe I saw it in the pits, being worked on. My very good friend Bill Bolin was also racing and we were in the pits a lot. Perhaps one day I will get to see this car run.

[carbking]

My first favorite Pontiac was the 1964 GTO . I was a senior in high school, and one of about 6 students out of maybe 250 that actually had a car (an 8 year old Ford with 200k miles, all that I could afford!).

In 1965, my favorite became the 1965 GTO, which I still believe is one of, if not the, prettiest Pontiac ever built, and I have never owned one.

I did, at one time own 3 1964 GTO's but have since sold them.

my current favorite is a 1974 GTO that has been "slightly" modified to run like a Pontiac, not like a government issue smog machine that is so safe it would survive a collision with a Sherman tank!

OH, and Maryann - this one is not John Deere green, it is "BSG" in color!

Jon.

[Firedup6975]

Hey Jon, this is my friend Keith’s car. he steals my thunder at all the shows lol.

70 GTO or Judge (owned a pepper green RA III 4 speed Judge)
2004-2006 GTO (only car I ever bought new, yellowjacket, automatic, 2005 GTO, currently owned)

I had a 1200 sq foot pole barn in Erie until I got divorced, now I have a 2 car garage an old 22 foot truck body, and I'm making a lean to off the truck body for storage. I didn't even mention the IH wrecker, or my dually truck.....LOL

Collecting coins or stamps sure takes up a lot less room.....

Got to be the 67 Gto best front end ever for me . 66 is nice but that wire mesh and the turn signals that angry grill and the stacked head lights. MEAN

[ta6point6]

I have always liked the 2nd gen 76-81 black and gold cars, Smokey and the Bandit was the reason of course. The styling, interior, rims and handling was all there maybe not all the power but still felt fast. I am really liking the 3rd and 4th gens lately. I like this 3rd gen Lingenfelter. The front grill of a 66 GTO is a eye catcher and sound of a 389 tri-power is music

[Firedup6975]

Not a fan of Brewster, Verdoro, or any other green unless it’s money in my pocket.

If I were ever to get a GTO, it would be a bright red, white convertible top, white interior, 67. It is on my list.
