SPRINT 6

Here's another noteworthy '67 from our reunion/club. Fred's 1967 SPRINT 4 speed 4 door Hardtop 23369, another low production model.

FWIW; Here is the second HO wagon I know of. ​This '67 was a HPP feature, it the link below it is incorrectly referred to as a SPRINT wagon. ​See bottom of page for wagon; http://www.hotrod.com/cars/featured/hppp-1005-1969-pontiac-firebird-1970-pontiac-lemans/

Without question one of the "rarest" (and I hate that word,but it really does apply) OHC's would indeed be a standard trans Safari wagon. But in reality ANY Safari is hard to come by;

Yes, That '67 belongs to Craig Stein. That color combo and appearance are over the top, The picture you posted is from this past POCI Convention. Our club awarded him this years CAMMER of the YEAR.

That stunning PLUM MIST '67 belongs to Mike & Lori Paulson

Found online as a "NON-OFFICIAL" 1934 CHEVROLET. Not sure what that means, possibly a dealer add on outside of GM/Chevy Pt#s. Stumbled onto this past ebay ad with the same image??? listed as possible '34 Chebby. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1934-PONTIAC-BIRD-RADIATOR-CAP-HOOD-ORNAMENT-EMBLEM-CHEVY-1933-1935-1936-/291136753917?nma=true&si=syrA2VdMwNy4GrYROngp0z1uL7U%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557#

Thanks Guys always glad to share images. Frosty, That '67 wagon is a very seldom seen HO version. Not referred to as a SPRINT. 1967 was the only year Pontiac offered the 4BC OHC 6 in their A-Body wagons and this is one of them. Fully PHS documented, top that off with 3 of the known 6 owners being present at the show, WOW! 12.photobucket.com/user/SPRINT-6/media/THIS%20AND%20THAT/OHIO%20067.jpg.html'> I know of only one other HO OHC 6 wagon.

HOLY COW WHAT A WEEKEND Man o Man it was said they had over a 1000 cars both racing & showing. I think it was almost an even split. Our Cammer Reunion was a true success, with 13 of the 17 making it in. Not bad for a specialty chapter spread across the world, Yes we have members in Sweden, Australia, Italy, Canada and I believe we have a member in France. I've not been out since '08 and it exceeded my expectations hands down! Sit back and enjoy my sample of some of the Pontiac Iron on site http://s412.photobucket.com/user/SPRINT-6/slideshow/2015%20PONTIAC%20NATIONALS

Firest7, Just caught the Smoke Signals coverage on your '64. Great story, it's always nice to be able to trace the history. Got my Vote! Cheers

This always amazes me, made me think of this similar story from several years ago; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2806346/Skeletal-remains-discovered-Oklahoma-lake-belong-six-people-vanished-two-separate-cold-cases-four-decades-ago.html

I hope you didn't get pelted with any water bottles

Having a copy of the Chassis Service Manual, Fisher Body Manual as well as the Restoration Guide are among a few recommended books for anyone with a '64-'72 GTO. I will caution you however the Restoration Guide, as good as it is is just that a "Guide" The number one rule of restoration on our old Pontiacs is never say never. The resto guide contains several discrepancies that have been pointed out over the years. Now with that said, as far as underhood paint/primer. What you find is a lot of this stuff varied Plant to Plant so again not all things are equal. I would say that 90% of the restored cars we see will usually have a clean crisp 60% gloss black underside finish which is an excepted finish by most judging sanctions. The above page is correct with the details, but IMO is rarely applied. Most like a cleaner look. Myself included. FWIW; The images below are from a survivor and if you look closely you can see how haphazard the actual painting process was usually conducted. The black is visible under the pad but notice the heavy overspray on the leading edge and this runs downs the side and rear as well. Now if you really HARDCORE note the outline/black square that shows across the forward hood brace and shows no Red overspray that is from the hanger/jig that the hood was hung on while being finish painted. So it would be primed/coated first, then hung up for finish coat, again this would be for the over the top restoration.

​AWESOME ! You are correct those types of awards/recognition are the ones that mean the most.

Very cool, always wanted to do a 30's vintage definitely a labor of love. I've drooled over this '32 for several years now; http://www.cars-on-line.com/57014.html Heres a link to a '31 5 window project of a fellow PY member. Just posting it as a motivator http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=684299 Look forward to seeing her come back. Cheers

Frosty, Thanks for sharing. The statement about the 421 is very true, I had heard it differently, its been said by others whereabouts are known and the person/persons who retain it, are IMO D-Bags. Heres another clip from the '68 HR, Ummmm GOOD STUFF Mac was one of those who was on my list of people I hope to meet. Sadly like so many Pontiac Great's on my list that opportunity never came to be. Years back I had secured a copy of Mac's 1966 S.A.E. report on the OHC design and always wanted to have him sign it. This was released to debut the 1966 OHC engine, which IMO was still a bit of a rush to release the '66s were plagued with several issues. I always laugh about the program being scrapped at the end of 1969 then it late 70s we see oil embargos and such take center stage. Think of how many OHC's Pontiac could have sold had they kept the program open during those times of gas "shortages" The OHC program started life in late 1963 and it was said that PMD wanted a 1965 release but way too many issues prevented that. The 1964 working prototype BANSHEE was a true testament to what could have been had the team been allowed to pursue this design. This car still exist and the current "owners" keep trying to cash in with it. It has been on and off the auction block at least a dozen time since purchased at a BJ auction. I just hope that somehow, someday both Mac's engine and or his GP as well as the 1964 Banshee make their way into the Pontiac Museum where they IMO rightfully belong. Cheers to all and hope some of you will be in attendance at this event.
