Stopped by our local Pontiac dealer to find they had one coming in. It came in early before all the Pontiac paperwork arrived at the dealership.
We bought it and a week later the salesman calls us to say there was supposed to be an additional $375 cost added to the sticker for the Can Am conversion...decals,spoiler and T/A shaker scoop added by the off site vendor. We said sorry the deal is done.
Nice healthy ol' Pontiac 400. I swapped in the rear trans crossmember from the 1973 Pontiac Lemans GTO that had the double humps for dual exhaust
and put true duals on it with high flow 2 1/2 inch mufflers. Opened up the T/A scoop with vac acctuated door like the 1970 version to make scoop work. Then put a curve kit in the distributor with the stock 3.08 gear it would run high 14's at the strip.
This was my wife's daily driver and we owned it for 8 yrs. Maybe should have kept that one! Had plans to restore it and add in the good Pontiac
Ram-Air engine parts.
