That is a correct alternator bracket for a non-power steering car. My 66 GTO has that same bracket....

Looks like Sanford & Son pack rats on the northwest coast.

If that 350 checked out to be an HO or something it would be a good find.
Take the engine out and haul the rest for scrap metal.

If he doesn't know it's a Pontiac, I'm pretty sure he doesn't know displacement.... 4bbl... Could be a 400.

Good point.
Especially since it's been in "multiple vehicles".
It'd be worth de-coding by someone living in the vicinity.

1977 Pontiac Gran Prix

Are you looking for a nice quiet ride?
A car that sips gas as you commute to the local coffee shop for your fair trade blend as you work on your novel/screenplay/dissertation?
A car that you and the wife can drive out to wine country as you talk about what charities your going to donate to this year?
Well, then you're a wimp, go buy a Prius.

THIS IS A MAN'S CAR!

It's a loud, fast, beer chugging, donuts on your neighbors lawn kind car!
It's a I don't care about you or your "honor student" kids kind of car!
It's got a V8, with dual exhaust!
Dings and dents from the poor bastards foolish enough to get in it's way!
There have been lots of GOOD TIMES in and on the interior!
Cracked windshield from head banging too hard to Judas Priest!
Huge trunk to haul lots of beer!
This machine runs like a pig on fire! (sorry vegans)
Drive fast through the Pearl District, making fake tanned trophy wifes jump behind their BMW's in fear!
Bring down the property values of you entire neighborhood with this parked on your lawn!
Do something worthwhile for once in your miserable life, grow a pair and buy this bad-ass ride!

$1700 or best offer

This one is save worthy Red Plug wires will look great. A pink shaker for a TA application would be great also. White TA, pink stripe and shaker. The "Frisco" Special Edition.

I don't see a Pontiac engine under there.
Isn't the distributor up front?
Looks like a Buick engine to me.

Looks like he realized his mistake and fixed the picture. The picture that was there before was definitely a Pontiac engine.

There was no doubt it was a Pontiac, blue paint and all.

That picture leads me to believe that that Buick could be made into a real road burner. The early 300 had aluminum heads and intake and was pretty light, the later one had iron heads with an aluminum intake and still only weighed a little over 450 pounds. The engine also sits back in the chassis more than the Pontiac. The distributor being in the front gives them more rear clearance but it looks like the engine's harder to work on than a Pontiac. There's not a lot of room in there. If the aluminum heads will fit the 340, it might make a nice combination. Even if you only used a period GTO handling package it could be made to handle really well.

Default What's with the pics.

I hate it when sellers post close up pictures of ridiculous things, and no pictures of the whole car.

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.
