Default What non-Pontiac vehicles do you own?

Here is a question, I searched and couldn't find any thread like this yet.

What non-Pontiac vehicles do you own?

I'll post some of my dad's and my projects.

The first is an unrestored Auburn 8-98 4-door sedan

Hey there fellow Wisconsinite!

For fun cars besides my '67 GTO I have an '88 Ferrari 328 GTS and a modded 400hp '07 BMW 335i coupe that runs in the 12's.

Plus I have a few other boring work/daily drivers.

My dad has a nice '37 Chevy Master Sedan street rod.

Nothing else right now, but the wife wants a mid 60's Stang vert. I'm trying to get her into a Firebird vert. Thats a long way off though. The daily rides are imports.

As for me, 99% vintage Pontiacs my entire life. Nothing is better. Even both of my boats are Pontiac powered. Even built a 10K generator mounted in a 61 Tempest w/ 195 Pontiac engine to have electricvity until I had regular power here.

Am building a '59 F-350 dually with a '96 Cummins/ 5 speed swap. also has Dana 70 rear and disc brakes. Will haul my 48' 3 car ramp trailer.
I happen to be sandblasting one of the doors for it right now.

No other plans to own/drive or build anything but vintage Pontiacs for the rest of my life.

1993 Chevy 1 ton EX cab 4X4 with the 6.5 Turbo diesel by Detroit Diesel engine, 4L80E transmission. I specifically looked for a diesel powered truck so I didn't have a chevy engine in it.

1988 IH 1600 ex U Haul truck now with about 8 feet removed from the chassis I'm installing a used Vulcan wrecker body on the shortened chassis. 5 speed with air ride suspension 7.3 IH NA diesel engine. I bought just the cab and chassis from U haul, couldn't beat the price, it had a new shortblock installed in it less than 10,000 miles before I bought it. 4 wheel disc brakes and air ride it seems the ideal chassis for a wrecker.

Mostly because Pontiac didn't make a truck and I need something for towing and a 4x4 for snow removal, everything else I own is Pontiac as far as cars.

I just sold the 31 Buick this past summer and built the 28 Ford speedster 5 years ago. A fun car for driving in the summer and fall.

Default Nate, can I play at your house?

Those are some very cool projects your father has there. All I ever seem to work on are Mopars.

(With an occasional Ford thrown in)

2000 GMC Sierra SLT, EXT cab 4X4 5.3L......I want a new one soon, crew cab next for the kids.
Out of the 20+ vehicles I have owned in my lifetime that is hands down the best, especially when it's -30c and we have 3 feet of snow on the roads pulling my double snowmobile trailer
