i've seen a couple very simular ours, must have been a popular combo. the paint is color code 58 dark gold.

Right back at you- mine are:
rears 295/50SR-16
fronts P235/60TR-16

the wheels are 16" from wheel vintiques- no trim rings.
I see you ran 11.60- I am taking mine to the track for the first time this weekend- wish me luck

Good Luck at the track , you will have a great time.

If those rear tires are regular street radials you already know you are in big trouble traction wise .


Anyway , Have fun !

Bernie

Yeah so I've heard- you think my 10 inch posi rear would hold up with drag radials? What are you running? How much power you making? 11.60 is nice!

I'm running a 12 bolt because thats the first thing I was told would break with a heavy car and 500-550 hp.
I've been thinking about upgrading my rear suspension , still has the stock original 40 yr old stuff . I do have an air bag on the right side w/ 20 lbs in it.

I must agree with Mike . Keith that race car needs to be done. That is just friggin cool !

Here is old pix of my 69 SJ 428 H.O auto was special ordered rear with 3.90 gears.

No power stuff at all. Just AM-Fm radio and in dash tach and gauges.

Impressive how that all stock H.O with manifolds and Q-Jet pulls for car's size.

Thanx Dave

She will rise again. Worth saving? to someone else no but it was my first car, my mom's before that (my dad bought it used in '74) I grew up in that car. My crayon are melted on the package tray.

It'll be great to see it come back to life. G/P's are one of my Favorite Pontiacs.

Thanks for your service,
