Default Re: Question for Pontiac folks

You are right in pointing out the absence of Pontiac. And you are right about Olds. I know Steve Sweitzer and Joe Scott they both ran Olds 442's. Joe had a 442 pilot car with out a title he put one on and drove it. He has been trying to sell some of those cars. The answer seems to be in the fact that Pontiac and Chevy pushed the Camaro and Firebird. Olds did not have an offering like that. The Monte Carlo was not often seen then. The Grand Prix and Monte Carlo SS were Nascar products. Buick was in Nascar and the Olds Calais offering was not a G body, but they offered a Cup car also. At that time all parts on the cars had to have factory part numbers. A joke, all cars ran MSD ignition but the systems all had the makers name, color and a factory part number on them. The beginning of dumb politics and what I called the sterilization of a manly sport.
