One of my favorite cars in my town 20 yrs ago was a green 69acadian. Looked like a chevelle ss but better. Always wanted to buy that ditch the 307 and put a 455 in it!

ANGEL 71: I wouldnt take it personal.

Ive been on here for a long time and you quickly learn who the ones are who dont have much "tact". Many are just trying to be cool and fit in with others.....

and I would bet NOT ONE would say the same thing to your face.

Bty, Nice car, and no small accomplishment what your running.

fair enough Angel. It's a nice looking car. I do not care for the choice of engine and yes, I say it to people in person. Tactful? Maybe not, but truthful. And yes, you have done well to go 8's in your first racecar. Many people are not able to either afford or have the guts to go 8's. I know plenty who could afford to, but they think a 10 second car is scary fast. As for engines like the 632 in your car, I've built them too. But your car is a nice looking ride. Right color too! But why is it for sale, if you don't mind me asking?

I would have no problem voicing my opinion face to face. Either you're a Pontiac guy or you're not. Are you a democrat or a republican. You can't be both! I'm 100% Pontiac!

I remember seeing that 62 in the for sale section at Norwalk, it was real nice.
Then I read it had a chevy...bummer.

Nice looking car, BBC in it, sucks big time.
Its not personal, no one knows you.
But this is the biggest, baddest Pontiac race forum on earth. So be prepared to take some, doing that to that beautiful old Pontiac.
Its just that after seeing so many Pontiac engines yanked out in favor of chevys, our beloved Pontiac engines going by the wayside some (like me) do not like seeing old Pontiacs "ruined"
You car is not ruined, nice car. 8s is 8s and very fast and is no joke. When you start it up, and hear it, its just another chevy.
Its just that today, one can call up a company like AP and buy a real Pontiac engine, a reliable 1050 horsepower that will get you in the 8s for about the same cost as a BBC.
New for new, but where Pontiacs cant compete with BBCs is the used BBC engines you can find on Racing Junk for cheap.
Someday maybe.
Well at least you are not running 10s with a BBC in it. If you were, and there are plenty of them out there you would deserve it.
Nice car, but it just is not right.
I say it to their faces all the time, every time at our track. I might not tell them its a piece of S*^$, but I tell them a Pontiac can do what their BBC can.
Even the guy with the 1800HP blown Merlin, and I am right.

I believe that car is from my neck of the woods. Iheard rumors that one guy on Rt 22 near Blairsville Pa. started the build. I did see a 62 in his business at one time. He had an IA block. Don't know for sure if its the same car though just rumors.
