That is a very cool car and backstory.
Gramps was a member on here for a little while pre-restoration of the car. Then after resto he gloated just a little too much and left in disgust. It's a really great car and should cash out at around 500k. How many RPMs would you have to turn to hit 140mph with 3.55 gears and F70x14" tires ? Well over 6,000 I'm guessing. |

Around 6500 RPM.
Long and smooth road could make it there? (at least once maybe  )

I don’t think I would have wanted to have been a passenger in that car.

It wouldn't pull that RPM even in neutral or park. Cool that he ordered it new and held on to it , and re-invested in a full frame off resto. It's a great great car with a sweet color package. |

Probably true. I was thinking more of my SD 455. (never had a 455 HO engine)

no chance this car could have 3.07 gears ? 140 mph would be more realistic with 3.07 gears and G70x14 tires.

Think it would have to be Auto AC , or Auto with Economy Axle , to get 3.07 axle.
Neither of those on the Invoice. 3.55 was standard in 71 Judge , Auto or Manual. Top speed around 118-120mph 140mph speedo in a 71 Old campfire stories about burying speedometers in cars for extra clout. 068 cam with stock valve springs is like a built-in rev limiter. |

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.
