Sad sight
Remains of a Sprint. No pedals, large hole in the tunnel was probably manual trans. Been sitting so long, valve covers rusted through.
Resto, anyone?

Hopefully, but not likely the engine lived on

It be cool to salvage the panels and hang them on a Nascar chassis.

Exactly the color of the one we had many, many years ago.

That's getting recycled right back into the ground from where it came.

That's what happens when good cars hang out with undesirable engines. Front distributor - Buick?

In 1966 my buddy was driving a 4spd tripower 66 GTO and I was driving a 65 4spd tripower GTO. My buddies dad bought fleet GMC trucks from the local dealer so my buddy got to drive whatever the dealer had on the lot. We got to test drive a new 66 4spd Sprint, 2dr hardtop, black vinyl top, martinique Bronze, dressed to the gills. (pun intended),
We were mightily impressed with how the Sprint ran, especially the high revving engine. About 10 years later, I saw the car sitting up on blocks in a chicken wired fenced-in barnyard lot. It was being used as a chicken coop. I always liked those Sprints. |

Could be whoever dropped it in there lacked the the funds or skills to complete the installation, resulting in the long term open crypt state of the car. |

Thinking it had an encounter with the back of a truck or trailer.

As much as I like my GTO, I'd still like my Cammer back..... GTO grills, deluxe parchment interior, 5 speed OD, 3.90 Posi rear....

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.
