Not the kind of racing Pontiac had in mind for the 69 Trans Am
Here's hoping that this car takes the Pontiac flag closer to the front of the pack in the ultra competitive world of "pure stock drag racing". First chassis dyno session is scheduled for this week followed by real world shakedown later this month at VMP.
It would be way cool to start sneakin' up on the big cube boys that dominate the class. I'm throwing everything I've got at them. Ram air iv,4speed and 4.33's (new Beach Boy song lyrics?). I even used the "Akron stance" made famous by John and Paul Glasgo. Special thanks go out to JJ at Canadian Collision and John from Stefko engines for providing the show and go! |

Sweet little ride you've got there Bruno!
It deserves a little joy after being sent out to pasture after a disagreement! Turn & burn baby!

Flogging a 69 T/A?? I Love it!! I keep telling people that's what they were built for. People are always telling me to park mine, or be gentle with it, It's rare, don't use it. I push my car, and it rewards me with a face splitting grin every time. Let us know how it turns out

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.
