1975 Pontiac Lemans Sport I paid $75.00 for in 1993. The 350CI smoked bad, but the car ran. Nice black body that was straight except for the crunched nose - seems most Pontiac A-bodies of this generation have the nose busted. Never did anything with it as I went through a divorce shortly thereafter and the car, along with a couple others, went to the crusher. Life goes on.

1976 Pontiac Lemans I bought off my brother in Florida with 78,000 around 1995 after my divorce. I drove it for a number of years until one day a car in front of me did a panic stop. I had some good distance between us. The brakes worked fine, but the tires let me down as I slid into the rear of him like sliding into home plate in slow motion, not able to veer off the shoulder because of a 4-foot deep drainage ditch and telephone pole. Messed up the right side nose and bent the frame rail. Still drove it a little before parking it in 1998 with 150,000. I drove the heck out of that car. It sits behind my house in sorry shape because I can't bring myself to scrap it because some day............................... LOL

Mark, I still have the Can Am you posted the picture of. Incredible for me to realize that I took that picture over 20 years ago, when I first got it.

I am still the admin of the defunct ABodySite, I tried to log into it for the first time today after taking it offline at least two years ago due to overwhelming spam. (All the forum data and posts were still there, just locked in time.) ... Go figure, the site was down -reliability is just like the old days.

Since you have some non-Pontiac versions pictured I'll take that as authorization to post a couple pics of my (brand X) racer:

Glad youre here Keith - always loved your car and its launch. Never knew it was you! Also been reading a lot on pinion angles lately and the work you did for GM always comes up. Thanks!

I probably should be working.... The pic that is hard to see is actually a dual axle 6 wheeled crazy thing. Wish I had more pictures.

Better shot of the 6 wheeler and a shot of what I think was the model car used for the Johnny Lightning 1:64 Street Freak 73 GA

Friend of mine has a 73 SS with a stock 350, don’t know why I like those but I do.
Is that a original 454 car ?

Yes. My dad ordered this car for my mom to drive.

He got the base Malibu so that he could add the police package.

About Us

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.
