Can only help. Pontiac hasn't has anything worth buying for a long time.

My dad owned a '99 Grand Prix and it was the most unreliable piece of crap I have ever seen.

$1:
There was a time, a long way back now, when you knew exactly what Pontiac stood for


A Chevy that cost $200 more....

I got a hold of a '67 a few years later and traded it for a '68 Stang Metalflake blue paint. :(

put the mullet in my pullet and the ferret became roadkill :lol:

tried to BBQ it, but tasted like crap :-)


It was a 77, not a bad car, better than that absolute POS
Lebaron I shamefully owned.

Not the best car in a Montreal winter, though :)

I had an old pontiac ventura with a 350,4 doors and I bought it on the brocket reserve for $400.00.

Sold it on the reserve after 2 years for $600.00

It was painted with a spray bomb at one time so it was a real looker. :lol:

I remember a lot of the stuf on the engine was different then a normal 350,like some components were on the other side of the block. :x

Been awhile,it was a good work car back then.

I had a Pontiac Grand LeMans as my first car. It got great gas mileage with that small 8. However, it was an ugly two tone green.

Well, they'll get rid of Pontiac now and in 5 years when the economy is humming and all those retiring boomers are looking for a new ride they will bring back Oldsmobile....
