Not sure if any of you like old Pontiacs, but this is my other "favorite to drive" car.

Very nice Malcolm. I had a 1971 Firebird Formula 400 and it is the one of many cars I regret selling. Canyon Copper white interior, 400 c.i. and a turbo 400 with column shifter.

That is a really good looking Pontiac. What is the story on it? Have you owned it for long? Motor/trans etc.

Thanks for sharing the photo Malcolm.

I am 3rd owner. It was bought new in Boca Raton Florida and driven to Cape Breton where it stayed at the owners summer home and only summer driven. The original owners eventually sold there summer place and sold the car to the guy who stored it for them in the winter. This guy had it for 20 some odd years and eventually sold it, to me. That was 2012. There was 72,000 original miles on it.I had it painted and new roof on it. Other than that it is all original. It's a 350 wit a 2 bbl carb.and a 2 speed power glide.Drives like a dream.

We saw some great looking cars in NS when were there this past summer. Wish you had been on the board sooner maybe we could have met up for a coffee. Saw this Corvette in Shediac and the C5 in PEI.

If you head out this way again be sure to let me know.There are a lot of nice cars around here, we love going to the car shows. My favorites are 60's and 70's.

Now you are talking man , Pontiac built " Excitement " . The 50's 60's era is priceless . I know all cars are a generation thing if you catch my drift . A 66 Custom Sport is on my " next " list after my 58 Delray Sedan Delivery. A cool car Malcolm, even if it is green !!!

 

[Malcolm]

That green is awesome in the sunlight. Get lots of compliments on it.My next one is gonna be either a 66 or 67 LeMans or GTO

 

[XFIRE82]

Just teasing you man. I always make fun of green cars cause in summer the grass is green , the trees are green , the ditches are green . WHY in the heck do you want a green car to blend in ?? Alot of the rare big block chev / pontiac cars in the late 60's were green, I could never figure that one out . Even look at my special personalised licence plates in my avatar...green !!! yuk !!!!

 

[Malcolm]

When I was a kid I hated green.Now I really like it.

I'm a farmer , no John Deeres cause I don't like green paint ...............

 

[Malcolm]

What, no John Deere, no Fendt? Looks like just Massey or New Holland for you.

Hanging head in shame here.... ... from 4000 miles away .... on a smartphone... with a cracked screen.... and sunglasses on....and one eye closed....there... that's my excuses and I'm sticking with them...

 

[XFIRE82]

...ahhh the Cragar SS , my number one choice for most of my rides for decades now...........

 

[Rruuff Day]

Cragars and T/A's Instant stature for us and our rides back in the day... Had to save our pennies for a long time though...lol..They still look great.

I'll overlook it due to all that and the fact that I'm missing the beauty rings on them.

If I'd looked closer inside the spokes I'd have noticed...
