CARCRAZEDKID features my Trans Am
CARCRAZEDKID interviews John Dinkel from Austin Performance about a 1970 Firebird Trans Am. In it he features my car.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P7mIxeInFw&t=11s This is the son of a friend of ours who does videos and interviews with auto craziness, high performance vehicles and a glimpse of different cars on his own YouTube channel. .

Thanks. A good friend commented it was neat to see someone that young into cars, and that we need more of that. I agree.

Yea, my 15 year old grandson is getting the full dose of hotrod/Pontiac medicine. He has ridden in the TransAm and the Bird so he is well on his way to a full appreciation of these 'old' classics.

Very Nice Steve, the new combo sounds great and just in time for cool weather cruising
 . Looking forward to hearing how the new solid roller works out for you.

Larry, I just got the car back last Wednesday evening. The next day I went on a 107 mile drive. Drove back into town, then out into the countryside for lunch. After eating I cruised out thru our hill country area to another city, drove thru it, and then came home. City driving and a lot of open highway. With a few blasts up thru the gears to a 100 or so mph. But I didn't beat on it. Honestly with the expected loss of horsepower I cannot notice any difference than as before !

He does a pretty nice interview for a little feller, great to see the car again.
Takes me back to the HPP days, good thing Poncho Perfection lives. I agree also, we need youth to keep our heritage alive, thanks for the post. Frank

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
