Oh, very nice. Sure wish I still had the '70. Pictures of it wrecked but maybe I can find the '75 pictures.

This beast would get rubber on the freeway at full throttle shifting into 3rd at about 75 MPH too, that near-stock 400 ran good. The trans wouldn't have liked that for too much longer though.

Yep, original CA black plates.

Oh no you might not want to see this thing! The key has not been the ignition switch in 15 years. The people I got the car from the local pontiac dealer in 1972 and they had it ever since. Now its mine. I have done a few things to the engine and replaced the complete fuel system. The car runs abd drives great. Still looks bad but im going to get started on that part soon.

I got this '69 for free, the guy was losing his storage and just wanted the 14X7 Rally IIs off of it for one of his many '69 Firebirds. Spent a couple of grand fixing it up and drove it to work for about a year before selling it. These cars are bitchin', I miss it.

I rebuilt the engine (re-ring and new bearings mostly) and put 6X-4 heads on it and an Edelbrock Peformer cam, it had most of the pushrods bent from the nylon cam sprocket that failed after around 97K miles. Put in a good used TH400 trans with a shift kit and a 2-1/2" dual exhaust.

Used to run it at the track, it did low-15s at 95 MPH. Won a Friday night Street Tire Trophy bracket race with it once, had to launch it easy to keep the 235/75-15s from going up in smoke with the 3.23 open rear (205/75s all around in these pics).

This big car impressed quite a few onlookers at the track, it held its head up high and ran good for a 4100# car with a low-compression 400 (87 octane) and no headers. Always got nice 2nd-gear rubber because of the very harsh Turbo Action shift kit.

They are 15 x 8 with 245/60 in the front and 295/50 rear, both are about 26" tall.

There sure is lots of wheelwell to fill. and i'm not a fan of the "pizza cutter" look.
