How about a topic (and pics when possible) of non Pontiac unusual (preferably but not necessary) muscle cars? Maybe unusual+
Examples would be, '69 SS Chevelle 300, post cars '70 1/2 Ford Falcon, w/429, post cars '70 Olds Cutlass SX 455 Could be full size like the 427 4 speed, 4 door biscane or '68 Biscane 2 dr, 427's.

How 'bout a '74 Chevelle?
2 dr police car: 454, turbo 400 trans, 3.42 posi. 8" wide Corvette rally's with HR60-15 police pursuit tires. First race ever went 14.90 by the end of the day; current best is 9.85, naturally aspirated in full street trim. I've been racing this same car for 34 years. My dad ordered it for my mom to drive as our family car and I got it when she was done with it. K

1970 Hurst Olds Prototype. I believe the story is that Jim Wangers, who was working for Hurst at the time ordered this car..........originally a Cutlass Supreme SX.

How about the 1970 Olds Indy Pace Cars Convertibles. You could get the pace car in either a 442 model or Cutlass.

Most people think of the Chevrolet Concours as a 4-door luxury Chevelle or station wagon model. 1968 was the only year the Concours was available in the 2-door body style. The 1968 Chevrolet brochures and literature do not list the 2-door Concours as they were introduced late in the 1968 model year and primarily sold in the west coast. I believe some were equipped with Buick Skylark interiors.

Most car people think the last year for the Buick Century GS was 1974....wrong! 1975 was the last year you could get a Century Gran Sport. Model year 1975 for Buick is often overlooked, but they actually had several nice intermediates to choose from.....the Century Gran Sport, Regal S/R and the Century Indy Pace car. Unfortunately, the 350-4bbl was the largest setup available for the intermediates that year.
1975 Century Gran Sport   1975 Regal S/R. Note S/R emblems on rear quarter panel.    1975 Century Pace Cars

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.
