Yes, hard to know what the car came with this many years down the road. I just know what I have observed personally and what the MPC shows. XJ code should have the 10.5 cr 670 heads according to the parts book.

I use the same method.
Those books don't always tell us right every time. I had buyers for 061 heads after the HPP flow test articles, and kept a look out for them. Only ever had that one set on the XJ engine. 73-74 #46 heads with screw in studs from 350 engines got popular after those articles too. |

Home porters and home builders wanted them. They didn't bring as much as 67-72 screw-in stud D-ports , but they weren't even sellable at all before the HPP articles. Going rate would have been 150-200pr . 250-300pr for 67-72 screw-in stud heads. Back then. 1970 intakes got popular , and #46 350cid heads -also- after the articles. There aren't anywhere near as many hands-on guys now as there were back then. Paying to port or fully rebuild cast iron heads now is a diminishing return compared to box stock aluminum heads for non-numbers cars. |

68 Firebird in Connecticut at $40K BIN. Prolly lots of mud in the rear flipper. Not many pics and none of the dash.

Interesting build sheet on this 74 GTO sold in Canada. Bench seat 4 speed, but the build sheet says it's an automatic? $43K in Michigan with 64K miles.

Nice 74 GTO, interesting that it had a vinyl top. Too bad about the black window moldings.

nice 74 but how did that subframe get so beat up?

The center section of the subframe isn't supported on the inside so when you use it as a jacking joint, it bends like shown. I've corrected several of them over the years by cutting it out, straightening it in a press and welding it back in.

Never heard of the Willow Run plant in Michigan before. That's interesting.
Have a 74 GTO 4spd #s car that turned into a parts car after a falling tree accident. No idea where it was built. |

75 Trans AM 4-speed in Ohio at $11K NR. Says it's Buccaneer Red, but it looks a little orange. Prolly a good buff out on the paint would bring it back. Ad also says it runs and has a rebuilt 400. A set of 15" honeycombs on this car would up its value. I'm not sure what impact taking the picture in a parking lot full of fresh burnouts makes. Does it scream the car is fast, or the owner beats the crap out it?

69 GTO in Michigan at $26K BIN. Silver with a green interior, it was originally a Limelight green car, which is a very cool color combo. Poor pics in the ad.

Some projects are much harder than others. I would call this one difficult with a lot of good parts. 81 Trans AM in Texas at $500 NR. Chevy 454 with a 4-speed.

68 Firebird convertible in NY at $65K. Nice car, but $65K buys a lot more than this car. The little stuff stands out, like the unpainted hood tach. The original 350 engine was an odd choice to build up that much. I removed the 350 in mine and installed a 400.

77 Trans AM 5-speed in Kansas at $58K BIN. Beautiful car with what I think is an amazing paint job. I like the stance too. Externally stock looking, but go faster stuff throughout.

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.
