PM’d you the link. Don’t want people getting confused but all our Calendar contests are posted here in our “News & Information” forum and as well there is a search at the top of each page  

I can't find a “News & Information” tab in the headings or sub tabs ... navigation problem for me - do you offer a site map?

I get lost in the threads... been using BBS since 1984... long time.... unfortunately I have difficulty navigating yours 😞

I remember seeing the contenders & number of votes in a bar graph last year,  mine come up this year, curious on how close I came.

Thanks,

Wally

I suspect some of you might have missed the sale of one of three-built silver '69 Firebird Trans Am prototype cars. These were Firebirds that were pulled off the line and then modified by Pontiac Engineering and car customizer Gene Winfield. This car is not part of the 669 production figures either. It is certified by PHS and well documented in many of the car magazines of the day. It was restored by Scott Tiemann's Suerpcar Specialities shop in Portland, Michigan.

 

The car has a Ram Air IV engine, 400 THM, and Palladium Silver. It sold for $285.000.00

 

Clearly this is an important piece of Pontiac performance history.

That's a lot of money Frosty, but it seems low to me and shows that Pontiacs are still not getting the respect they deserve. Not that I'm complaining because it means that classic Pontiacs are still somewhat affordable. But can you imagine if this were say the prototype '67 Z-28 Camaro (if there was one)... I am sure it would probably be close to $1million. I don't get it.

This T/A is amazing and turned out to be well bought by the owner who recognized the car and will appreciated it!  Most Pontiacs cost more than Chev's when new, so owners that understood the benefits paid the price and reaped the rewards. There were fewer on the roads, a smaller following and Pontiac became overshadowed by the sheer numbers of Chev's until GM pulled the plug on the Indian Chief. I know my 69 Firebird won't have the same value as a similar Camaro and that's ok, as I like what I own and that's what matters.  

And we have cool coloured (or colored) money and pay about (not a boot lol) 4 times as much for our gasoline ? even though we sell the USA some of our oil. .. go figure ?

yeah i guess were all like that

Some people, American, Canadian or other have a hard time with others outside of their state or province. The car culture helps bridge that gap. Go to the Woodward Dream Cruise  in Detroit in August & you'll see over a million visors from all over the world, driving, watching or  just hanging out. .. having a good time and it's amazing!
