Mark, those are back on Page 2! But I have so many pics, I'll keep posting as long as you guys like them. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
1) From 1965, that's Doc Watson (later associated with Oldsmobiles) testing the new 1965 GTO. Doc was in tight with Pontiac in 1965, as Hurst Shifters were factory installed in all GTO's. 2) Great photo of a 66 GTO launching. This was an early Ram Air car. 3) Royal Pontiac 66 GTO in full racing trim, taking out a 442 in the far lane. 4) Another photo of the Royal GTO, with Milt Schornack driving. 5) Rare reclining bucket seat option in a 66 GTO. |

----If this "Bill Yakkel" ran at 42 then I saw it run. I rarely missed a weekend there as it was only about 20 minutes from my Dads house. Very cool old Poncho......Bill S

Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
----Don,,,That is one seriously cool old GTO. I cant seem to remember it at "42" but if you saw the birthday announcements you can probably figure out that my memory isnt what it once was. Wish I could pull it out of whats left of my brain as Ill bet it was a ball to watch......Bill S

Ok, Tenney wins. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
Don, one of the things that struck me about your 65 GTO was that it had a similar paint scheme to Jim "Old Man" Taylor's 64 GTO. Jim is the original owner of his 64, and he still runs it today. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...rama%20042.jpg |

Not getting too far off the "original photos" theme, I just wanted to throw this one in, as it relates to the super rare engines poasted a few pages ago.
This is an all aluminum 389. Aluminum block, heads, intake, water pump, exhaust manifolds. Amazing how advanced, and how serious, Pontiac was in their 1962 racing campaign! |

Brakes were always a point of criticism with the GM Musclecars. They had tremendous acceleration, but couldn't stop worth a darn. Pontiac was thinking about improving their brakes pretty early on for their new high performance car, the GTO.
In the summer of 1963, this 1964 GTO was delivered to Delco-Moraine for testing of disc brakes on GM intermediates (Skylark/Chevelle/Cutlass/Tempest), thus becoming the first A-Body with disc brakes. |
Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
That picture confuses me as that looks like a 69-72 caliper and not the 1st design large 4 piston ones used on the early cars. looks like a newer shot of a goat...Keep the pictures coming as this and the day2 thread are my favorites!!!!

A great "Day 2" picture, this was a Popular Hot Rodding test car, a 69 Judge Ram Air III. Doug's headers, some 5-slot aluminum rims, and a Weber clutch. The multi-part article ended with the installation of a RAIV engine (pictured). [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Tenney just told me about this site. I will have to do some digging to see if I have any old pictures of my car. Unfortunately I don't have any of it when I got it, or when I got married in it. I didn't own a camera. This one was taken a few weeks ago when my granddaughter got married.
B/T/W, the blue and white one is not the one I purchased new. The original one is aquamarine, as seen in the picture. I built the blue and white one so I wouldn't keep breaking the original one. |

LOL, OMT - That's always been my regret, too - that we didn't take more pictures back then. But, in our defense, it wasn't as easy then as it is now - At any rate, here are a few from my growing up years: Me, with my first car (...the red one...): http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...d001/63Cat.jpg The Pontiac shown is a '63 Catalina; built as a Super Duty car, it was converted over the counter to an HO configuration (tripower and hydraulic lifters) so that we could run the "higher" classes (B/Stock, B/FX) while the Swiss Cheese cars covered the others. It was built with the aluminum front package (hood, fenders, bumper) and aluminum decklid. It also was one of the first 1963 cars to have the Bobcat appearance package, with silver highlights on the grille filler panel, down the side and the vertical surface of the trunklid. Sadly, this is the only still photo I have of this car. Goin' racin' - http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...1/63Covair.jpg The '64 shown above was the first GTO in the twelves, at least here locally. Our '64 on display at the Michigan State Fair, fall of 1964: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...GTO/img009.jpg Typical Sunday afternoon: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3.../GTO/69GMC.jpg Rain on raceday - Lapeer International Dragway, 1968: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...8GTOresize.jpg Me, doing my first engine teardown (a '69 GMC straight six), while the GTO sleeps behind me: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...1/000_3554.jpg Goin' racin again: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...1/64LeMans.jpg The '64 Lemans was a factory mule car, purchased from the GM Milford Proving Ground. It came equipped with a 421 cubic inch engine (and close ratio 4 speed) and was actually quicker than our '64 GTO race car. Lastly, this is not a "vintage" shot, but it is a "vintage motif". Here's how the GTO looks today: http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...x/100_0325.jpg |

Not a vintage photo, but speaking of jackets:
Found this at my mother's house the other day. I had been looking for it for quite some time (but not in the right spot, apparently): http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...03Oct09025.jpg http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...03Oct09026.jpg http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/...03Oct09028.jpg Some of you might remember that Ubly Dragway was in the mainstream news a couple years ago, as a result of this: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...D/100_6971.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...tanLongSD1.jpg |

Welcome Jim "Old Man" Taylor! I wasn't aware that you didn't know about this site. And I thought Keith checked it out now and then, else I would have sent you an e-mail. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
Keith, my mistake on the 63 GP photo, the file name said 64. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] Here's a few more interesting ones. 1) Canadian 409 Poncho 2) Keith, you may be able to identify this one. Could this be Brutus, or Mr. Unswitchable? Mike |
Re: Vintage Pontiac Pics
We've had some conversation on that one before, and it was not conclusive: I'd say Brutus, because the Mr Unswitchable car used the production style front control arms (not a straight axle in the front).
