Drag racing. An adrenalin rush like no other. It felt like going into combat, tasting your first beer, and losing you virginity, all in about 8 seconds.

I think its just amazing that the owner does a PAGE on how rare a 72 HO 455 is and the car has little to nothing left that makes it that?
They all harken back to originality and are so far away its not even funny... just for the "FLIP"
Mono leafs in the front.. thats special, no pics of it....

What the heck are the large holes cut into the top of the firewall....and the inside of the plenum?
What idiot did that? Any water or fumes is going straight into the cab - the area is open to the interior there. Some people are such morons.....

Love the chincy Chip Foose look alike two tone paint job....way to go, guys.

I've seen that car as well. Didn't like it at all. Some people just don't realize custom paint jobs don't go over big on Pontiacs. Its been for sale for a while. This dealer has had some other nice Pontiacs that looked original so this is not necessarily a regular thing for them.
