Hey Group. Just got my first Pontiac so thought i join the group. My car is a reasonable project and hope to get it into a more or less original form!!

Adding some pictures of the beast (lol). Got some tech questions already so if anyone consider themselves experts on the x-body or 2,8 v6 engine ill be glad to hear from them!!

 

Best regards

Tommy

Nice Phoenix! Man, that red interior takes me back  

Welcome! Wow, those are rare even here in the States and yours is a manual as well. Very nice. How did that find it's way to Norway?

 

Wow! I will have to admit that I owned an '81 Phoenix - same body style and exterior color (blue vinyl inerior though) in 1985. It's the car that swore me off from ever owning another front wheel drive car ever again. Sorry.

That said - I will be happy to help you as best I can.

😊 Thx. Well this car was in fact sold New in Norway to a small business owner. He ordered the car like this and without music player. That was installed by the GM dealer in Norway. So first 16 years went by and the car was 67500km and completely rusted. So the guy i bought it From got it From the first owner for scrap price in 96. He welded and painted the inside, Sat it in the barn and swosh suddenly 2020. So i got it and now im trying to get it in driva le condition. 😊👍

Thx 😊👍. Hehe Yeah i see ur point. Here in Norway its been front wheel and smallish cars since the 70s.But now fortunately its possible to import without being taxed to..... Lol. The x-body is for sure a love/hate object and i understand that. But theres something to it for me😊. Perhaps madness🤔

Havoc has not jumped on this one yet????

Havoc's Phoenix is still rear-wheel drive. Havoc's Phoenix was based on the old Nova/Omeaga/Apollo/Ventura platform. This is the FWD version, the sister car to the Chevy Citation.
