Nice car ! What size engine is in this one ?

Hi ! It is a 350 cu.in. Chevy w/ a 2-barrel carb.

You did excellent! Welcome here. I posted a couple of months back about a black twin to your car that has been sitting for 20 years in a shed. 455, all options. Not "quite" for sale yet but it could be some day.

Very cool cars. There was a time they were so plentiful I never gave them a second look but they sure catch the eyes now!

I see that You have a 1975 Pontiac Grand prix in the backround picture. I used to have one of those "many moons ago" ! Looks nice !

66pontiaccat · Veteran Member

Thank You, Carl. That one that You have sounds like a winner, especially with a 455 ! Way Cool !

A little about Me...My passion, of course is Pontiacs, No doubt ! I used to be a detail-man for Great Lakes Mercedes-Benz, so I really love a clean car as well. Pleasure to be on board...Thank You !

Sorry to mislead you, I only wish it was mine! It belongs to a guy who I've known for about 35 years. He quit driving it about '87 but keeps it in a nice shed. Black, black interior, very minor rust but needs redone. Still runs nice, almost all options including posi. His son is likely early 30's and says he wants it but I'm not sure it will ever happen or that he would do it up if he ever did get it. At least it's not rotting into the earth like a lot of those "gonna fix it up one day" cars.

The 75 GP is a parts car and has the mighty Pontiac 455 as well. Carl, a guy me and Luc know ( Steve ) has a 1975 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham 455 engine, that I found for him, transplanted in his 1979 Transam, the car was rusted out but the engine was rebuilt at one point and still very strong.

Sounds like it has some great potential. If it does become available, Please keep Me posted. You never know. I would just have to make sure I can line up all of My ducks in a row, eh ? I love the style of these cars. I had recently sold My 1975 Pontiac Grand ville convert. over the summer months, & it now resides in Sweden ! Made a good friend out of the deal...just miss the car...had to save the farm...(mortgage-wise).

Like the other fellas said Welcome! Seeing you have New York plates on that Canadian Pontiac we'd love to hear the story behind how our beloved Canadian Poncho found its way south of the border. BTW, uncle had a 76 Parisienne 4dr sedan Maroon with White vinyltop , orange 350 2bbl as well. It was a great car.

The engines are timeless, as are the cars ! You can't help but to love 'em...rolling art !

Thanks so much ! A Very close Colleaugue of Mine, in Hamilton, had actually told Me about this car...I had always loved the style of them, & He was kind enough to be "one" of the catalysts in making it all possible. I call the story..."With a little (lots !) of help from My Friends" ! I had told another Colleague of Mine locally about the car, as I knew I did not have the funds to get it, thinking that He may have wanted to jump on it. After seeing it, He had asked Me "Why I didn't want to jump on it ?". I explained to Him that the "Angel of finance" had not graced My door, & had "zed" to work with. To make a long story short, Both of these kind gentleman, between the two of them, help Me to get the car ! I am greatly in their debt, & plan to pay them back, & do My best to pay the favour foreword ! In short, wonderful people still do exist...they always have ! Thank God !

Many Thanks !

I used to have a maroon 1973 Le Mans sport, which I had sold to a friend of mine, warning Him that although it was a 350 2 barrel, it was "extremely fast" ! I guess he didn't hear "extremely fast", along with "It is so quick...(How quick ?) Quick enough where it could "get away from You". On that note He modified it using a tree ! Ouch ! ooch ! OMG ! evileye

RDubya · Poncho Master!

Welcome Thomas, your car looks like it is in great shape and with those wheels must be a real head turner! Also nice to see our "brotherhood" growing in the US, good to have a new member so close by in Cheektowaga!

Congratulations on a unique car. Neat stuff.

P.S. When I noticed the "u"s, I figured you were a Canuck. wink

It has a Chevy 350-2-barrel carb, (original engine) so great on gas too. Love Your Grand Ams ! Been out of touch for a while. Plan on viewing more often. Cheers, Everyone ! Summers comin' & so is "Cruisey-Time" !
