Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
Here's one of the 1964 Fremont plant pics. Notice the Olds in front, the Buick having the body lowered, and a Pontiac chassis up next.

Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
Yep - last year I was building Cadillac DTS, Buick Lucerne and Chevy Volts all down the same line.

Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics

Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
1969 Firebird at the dragstrip back in the day. Hubcaps pulled.
1969 GTO - Triple Black ragtop, with hideaways. Would love to find this car now. 1969 RAIV Firebird coming out of the hole, left front is skimming the pavement. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
1) Believed to be the only black 72 Trans Am ever made, this car is currently being restored.
2) Brand new 1973 SD-455, with original owner. 3) The original show car that used a heavy metalflake black, with gold accents. This was based off a 1973 proposal, influenced by the John Player Special Formula 1 car. This paint scheme went into production in 1976, and later people knew it as the Bandit paint scheme, thanks to the 1977 movie. The photo shown is a 1974 version, but the car was built as a 1973 SD-455. As the years went by, Pontiac kept updating it with pieces for the current model year, even installing a wraparound rear window for the 1975 show circuit. Note the gold chrome tailpipes! In 1976, Pontiac used black chrome for the tailpipe splitters on the production Special Edition black/gold cars. 4) Factory photo of a rare, red interior 71 Trans Am. Not many were built this way. There was also a 1969 Trans Am built with a red interior, and it recently went through auction.

Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
Mike I remember that pic of the 71 from years ago but its really a 70 T/A. I think pontiac doctored the photo for the press. Note the Lowback bucket seats in it. I never heard of a 71 with red interior.Your right there are a few 69's and 70's running around that have been sold. The 72 Black car is awesome.

He also designed the back window on the '63 Grand Prix, the wheel trim for the '63 8 lug wheel, the red line tire, the GTO emblem, has several patents on the GMC motorhome, etc. You should get ahold of him for a formal interview - he is still sharp as a tack and is a blast to be around.

Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
I could be wrong.... but.... That black '72 went through ebay a couple of years ago.
A guy over on PY owns that SD. That picture was taken a few miles from where I used to live. |
