  1. The fact that GM did not try to sell Pontiac (like Saturn and Hummer), leaves me with one tiny eensy-weensy shread of hope that it still may be on life support and could be revived in some limited fashion. BTW (mild rant coming,lol)... since we're talking about the death of Pontiac, why wasn't Buick charged with "accessory to manslaughter"?!! IMHO, no matter how "cool" they try to be, they are still stupid looking and they will always be the evil sibling who laughed as the good son died.
  2. Here's another one for your viewing pleasure, lol!
  3. I see that there are a lot of Grand Am's on Forever Pontiac, so I'll try to get more Grand Am pics this year. Here is the only other Grand Am pic- it's a row of them at the GM Nationals in Carlisle, Pa. last year. (BTW, your avatar appears to be a PRS Tremonti... do you play?)
  4. On behalf of Ungerdog, thank for those encouraging comments! We wanted the car to flow and not look like a bunch of random aftermarket parts tacked on, so we planned what we wanted to do before the first mod. It took two years, as time and money (modding a G6 is way down on there on that list, lol) would allow, to get where it is now. Except for drilled and slotted rotors, we're done with the exterior (although there has been talk of a 2009.5 spoiler... ). Interior is next, as all that's been done is a set of Lloyd's mats with a blue "G6" embroidered on them. Anyway, we love to go to Pontiac shows! Ungerdog's 6 is almost always the only G6 there, so they usually put in a class with late model GTO's and G8's. Even so, it got a second in class at one show, and an "Award of Excellence" at the GM Nationals in Carlisle, Pa. last year. But mainly, it's just fun to show the car, look at all the other fine Pontiacs, and talk to the owners. There are a lot of really nice people in the Pontiac community. When somebody who just spent $100,000 on a Judge restoration comes by and says how much he likes your humble G6, it as good as a trophy any day!
  5. Nope... his father-in-law. I help him with his G6 mods.
  6. The "Safari Sport" is even more incredible in person... it looks like a factoty Pontiac! I just love creative people who have the means to build what should have been a production Pontiac.
  7. Spring is here and that means the beginning of car show season. Here are random pictures from some Pontiac shows last year to get everyone pumped up! ]
  8. I don't know if it's for sale- I took these pictures on a Sunday when nobody was there. If it is for sale, maybe they are asking way too much and that's why it's been sitting for so long.
  9. It certainly needs to go to a good home where it will be restored and loved because it is a very unique Pontiac, but I do not have the time or money for such a project . I was just wondering what everyone thought about whether it's a future collectible or not.
  10. For years, this 1986 Grand Prix 2+2 has been sitting in an auto junkyard not too far from where I live. Whenever I pass by this junkyard, I look to see if it's still there, but I never stopped it really look at it. Well... about a week ago, I just happened to have my camera in the car as I passed the junkyard. This time I stopped and took some pictures. It looks like it's all there- I guess the owners know it's rare and apparently haven't allowed anyone to pick parts off it. Except for the weathered paint and the headliner coming down, it appears to be in remarkable shape for sitting in the same spot for ages. I'm no expert by any means, but this is what I've found out about these cars: 1. Produced one year only (1986). 2. Only 1,118 made. 3. The only reason it was made at all was to qualify it for NASCAR. 4. One color choice: silver and charcoal gray two-tone. 5. One engine/transmission choice: an anemic 165 hp 305 ci with a 4-speed auto. 6. In fact, no options were availible, but it came pretty much fully loaded. So is it a future classic? It's certainly rare, but with only a pitiful 165 hp, it's definately no muscle car either... what do you think? BTW, if I have posted this in the wrong forum, feel free to move it!
  11. stock GM rally rims ^^ NOT this! ^^ Do NOT put chevy rally wheels on your Pontiac! There have been some great suggestions in this post of classic PONTIAC wheels (Rally I, Rally II, body color steelies w/Pontiac "dog dish" hubcaps) and classic aftermarket wheels (Crager S/S, Keystone, Torgue Thrust). Here are two more suggestions of classic "back-in-the-day" wheels: Pontiac "Snowflake" Wheel American Racing 200S "Daisy" Wheel
  12. If this has already been posted, I apologize... but here is a Pontiac show for you Fla. folks! http://www.orlandowtw.com/2011wtwflyer.pdf
