"What else are you going to buy for 25k that you can enjoy and is shiny? "
Depends on what you want. Bought a pair of '89 (best year) Allantes last year for $8k. For both. Run, drive, cold ac, both have hardtops & clear Florida titles. One is a little shinier than the other. Both have about 60k miles, noce interiors, and no rust or dents.

Suspect could find either a similar Reatta, Firebird or Fiero for the same. Just depends on what you want.

They are a big deal in Houston- further they poke out the better. They are called Swangers

The worst thing about it is that they have the gall to call it a "GTO/Judge" tribute, with a SBC. A Canadian version maybe. But even if there were a Canadian '68 GTO, it would at least have had a 396.

Those GRAND AM rowl tires must be 30-35 years old.

No kidding about the tires. Those were on my 79 TA when I bought it 20 years ago!

They don't have a clew what they have??? Says 6 cylinder and V8? Front wheel drive? Not Crown Vics were front drive! Also something about a boost lite??? The mileage is pretty low but Police cars live a hard life.

Didn't JC Whitney have those "Turbo Boost" dash board buttons? I think they were on the same page as the "Ejection seat" buttons

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.
