My boss picked up a red on red one while I was learning the carpet trade and it sat in front of his house after that. Automatic with a 350 motor and had a perfect interior. The problem is he never finished it and I don't know what he did with it either? |

Here's me, sitting in a 3+ million dollar car:
The car is powered by a straight 8, which runs - as the car was driven across the show field and to the awards platform. Still has the original air in the tires. The car is owned by Joe Bortz, and he was insistent I sit in the car for a photo. I didn't tell him but the real reason I was at the show was to see this beauty during its maiden voyage. It was the same day as when I took this photo. K

I watched this short video Brian Lohnes did about the Paul Goldsmith LeMans.
He is the current voice of NHRA and is a big time Pontiac fan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQbIwjBXQKA

The back of this prototype vehicle was used in the Batman movies anyway? The front looks like my father's "Bug eye" Sprite in the 1950's. The Green B-ville is like the "Lotus Formular Race car" in color? I had the LOTUS, in a slot car version when I was a kid and my twin had the White Chapparral. Note, my Dad bought us the winners in the 1960's (in slot cars) error? Last edited by TRADERMIKE 2012; 05-05-2022 at 06:43 AM. |

Bob Maxey https://www.dragraceresults.com//ful...id=3920&type=9 https://transamflorida.com/1545.htm https://dragraceresults.com/legends/bobmaxey.html The Blue SD ex-M/T Pontiac was on the east coast a long time ago as it belonged to a Mike Miatico who also owned Capitol Raceway in Crofton, Md. I used to see it at the track every weekend as it was street driven and Mike would make a couple of passes with it before the regular program started every Saturday afternoon. He also owned a baby blue Catalina station wagon that he raced in the old D/SA class at Aqusco on Sundays with a 389 SD combo like the Ventura had in it. I remember 13,30's for the Ventura, and 13.60, s for the wagon. The wagon would out run many GTO, s during time trials to their dismay. Both were super clean and street driven to the track around 1964-65. Mike was a member of the "Indian Tribe" back in the day with Sam Samuels, Joe Perzan, Bob Maxey, Johnny Walker, Pop Kennedy, and many more. I remember Mike telling me he had 4.88's in the wagon and it sounded like it when you drove up next to him on the way to the track. As I remember the Plymouth was owned and driven by RAY Christian who was a torque flite transmission guy. He later bought the Ram Chargers 63 Dodge and raced it in AA/SA in the mid 60's. We towed down to Capitol Dragway once for a Jr Stock race. We had our Sedan Delivery and I recall seeing many of the Pontiacs mentioned. There were at least 3 wagons. a '61 or '62 and a couple '60's. Frank Canaday, Joe Perzan and Bob Maxey. We raced Perzan twice as they made us rerun him (not sure what that was about) We won...lost eventually to the Wheatley '57 wagon that was previously Pete Preston's if memory serves me right. There was also at least one GTO there and it was running well. I never saw so many good running Pontiacs at one track. I was very fond of those cars as I had one myself......I had a '58 and raced it and also later a '67 GTO......I loved those old Indians...... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...01085/page-165 https://goracemir.com/fame/2010/maxey/index.htm https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...eedway.336866/ https://www.atomicpinup.com/Aquasco_Speedway.html https://www.atomicpinup.com/Aquasco_Speedway_2.html https://www.atomicpinup.com/ Last edited by TRADERMIKE 2012; 05-06-2022 at 02:17 AM. |

Readers - now here is a really cool article from Pontiac Mag Oct 1990.
"Malcom "Mac" McKellar's 1963 Grand Prix with the "only" OHC 421 Pontiac V8. Says it was the 4th of 9 motors - where are the rest? Way back in the 80's Generous Motors would still do some special things for the big shot executives, like give a engine like this one to McKellar. Certainly GM does NOT do this anymore, hell when I retired years ago they were so strict and stingy you could get fired for farting in the office .Anyway - I think he passed back in 2011. A few Web links here, but wonder where that car is now? https://www.hemmings.com/stories/art...m-mac-mckellar https://www.motortrend.com/news/hppp...llars-passing/ https://www.macsmotorcitygarage.com/...ad-cam-421-v8/ |

The engine was separated from the car while Mac was still alive (that's a different story). It is reportedly still here in SE Michigan somewhere, under wraps. K

The 1981 Trans Am.
With the 400 Pontiac phased out at the end of the '79 MY, you got a mighty 301 to power a 4000lb sled. Oooofff. And - I have never seen the probably rare "Yellow" paint, code 56. Somebody loves it I guess. Pontiac Mag June 1991. |

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.
