When I was in jr high, our next door neighbor bought a new '70 Grand Prix-copper metallic with a brown vinyl top-it was the most amazing car I had ever seen-and the bucket seat interior-wow! They still look beautiful-thanks!
I'm a new subscriber to your Channel 💚 Thanks for sharing !....I owned and drove a '69 Pontiac LeMans in high school,Class of '88 that I still have. I purchased a '68 LeMans in 2006 , stored it '12 , Looking to start back on a restoration this Fall... My father had a new '70 Catilina that he drove up until he sold it in the early 2000's . Thanks, I'm a huge fan of PONTIAC ❤
I had a 1972 lemans 4 door in high skool. I loved the hardtop look and fender skirts! I had to sell it when i joined the military. Great car, thanks for the memories!
👏👍👌 Thanks Tim for taking the Pontiac walk. Painted pretties instead of Rusty relics. I like all your videos. Been subscribed for a long time and enjoy all you content. I have a special 1968 Pontiac Tempest Custom Coupe special ordered with a v8 350 day one from the factory instead of the 326 v8. Bought it from a 1 owner 73yr old woman. Stock 2 barrel carb 282HP. I like my Pontiac. Thanks again for sharing. Truck Driver Ray. See ya on the next one👋
The Pontiac I once rented was a 2003 Grand Prix SE. Even though it was no longer available as a 2 door starting that year, I enjoyed driving it. It had the base 6 cylinder engine but don't remember the displacement. The Grand Prix was restyled for the last time in 2004.
All right away GTO with triple carbs awesome. My twin brother and I were in the Marines and he had a a white 66 convertible with blue interior and blue top 10 most beautiful cars ever been in or driven
Mr. B. Here ! Mr. Goodpliers I don’t remember so many pontiacs in my life , it’s good to see so many are still on the road ! Did you said , you do not do car shows ? Not important very nice show ! 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
I was hoping for more early 60's Bonnevilles and Catalinas. The 1960 Bonneville was one of the greatest American cars ever. The original huge boat driving a football field when you sat behind the wheel.
I think that the '65 - '66 - '67 GTOs were the only vehicle that was able to successfully pull off the stacked quad headlamps. There were a few other makes and models that tried to do it......but none were really as attractive as the mid-60's GTOs.
I also had a 1941 fourdood straight 8 flat head , never seen it run or drive sold it for scrap way way back in the 1970 s ,,,,,if I had it to do all over again I would be having a yard full of ol cars and trucks more than I do now, I only have 40 cars and trucks now, lol thanks BigAl California
One of the best looking cars ever made in U.S.A. was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix. I think one drove by as you were filming. I wish you could have done a walk-a-round when it was parked. Great job filming, enjoy your videos.
My pick for favorite will have to be the black 68 GTO with the aqua interior power windows and rally 1 wheels a GTO any where near survivor condition is a rare find
At nearly seventy four now, I got to live in the greatest era of rigs to roll our highways. In parting shots a look at a another thirty five I think. Great looking rig but that floorshift cover made at a last moment is very detracting from this rigs value in my opinion. Got to see a true 64 GTO and its blue was just great as I do remember a lot were. Kid in my hometown got a black one, but quickly traded it in for the 65 when those came out. Not sure why the 64 holds on dear in my heart.
At 47:03 in the parting shots you showed a Phoenix coupe in a two tone . Was this in the Survivor class ? Only reason I ask is because the door on the passenger side, the color is off from the rest of the car .
Cool event with great cars I know you like trivia from your other videos now you probably know this but the shackled up ,GTO,from the brooks and dun song can only be a 1974 due to it being the only one with leaf springs as always i enjoy your channel with superior filming and knowledge looking forward to your next video Karl from eastern Canada
I really enjoyed this video. Damn, how many green GTO's did they make? Friend of mine out of Chicago drove down to Mecca Indiana (home of McLain Stevenson of MASH fame) to buy a 1969 Firebird T/A that I found sitting in Mecca Auto Salvage. This was in 1978 or so and he already had a 4 speed and this car was an automatic. I think he paid around 800 bucks and it was rotten to the point of breaking in two! Great Video
Parents had a 62 Tempest Wagon, then 63 & 69 Bunnies. Fantastic cars, esp the 63. Then Mom bought a 77 Ventura (like a Nova) & Dad bought an early stick Sunbird, both of which were total crap. After that they switched to Toyotas on my recommendation.
Loved the shot of the Sprint 6 LeMans. I had a 68 Firebird with that package. Probably my favorite car. Also had a 83 Phoenix. Worst pile of excrement I ever owned. GM started Pontiac's down turn when they forced them to quit building unique cars and made them sell the bland badge engineered crap.
The X body FWD was particularly terrible. They learned a lot of lessons that they put into the 1982 A and J body cars, but it still wasn't until years later (and the addition of fuel injection) that they became really durable and dependable. My uncle had Citations and very vocally hated them, but for some reason kept buying them
What’s up with that blue ‘69 GTO with the white vinyl top? The left rear wheel is tucked way under the quarter panel, and the right rear wheel is tight to its quarter panel. It looks like this body may have wrecked hard once, and things weren’t exactly realigned properly.
My first car I worked for 14 years old was a 1970 lemans sport coupe with a chrome front bumper and rear bumper , 350 auto , I would love to fine another one now, the family bought a brand new Bonneville Pontiac 455 brand new from Bakersfield Pontiac in 1970, my hit a 100 mph on the way home from the car lot, just to see if it would go 100, lol thanks BigAl California.

Enjoyed!!
I think, in general, Pontiac had the best looking cars in the business in the 60s and early 70s, just my opinion.
Poncho’s a’plenty. Awesome job my friend 👊🏼🤘🏼
Thats a show worth going to
One of the best!
GTO my favorite goat 1966 love them tail lights

ooh nice one @0.44 very cool ride .flame in color i think.
DAMN ! An entire parking lot of "tin Indian's" LOL ! Lots of great cars there my friend, thanks for showing us, very cool.
Awesome video! Thanks for taking a Pontiac guy on a great tour!
Beautiful cars! Awesome video! Thanx for running down and checkin them out.
I love how this car show had a bunch of varieties of those Pontiac GTOs!
Can Am/Laguna cool and htf..thanks for sharing!

They never seem to get as many views on the channel. People would rather watch rusty dusty junkers than a million dollars worth of shiny ones
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Your, right ! If I may add many would buy them finished ! Thank you for the showcase ! 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
@@debbiebermudez5890 ......YOU'RE right.......time to learn English, Debbie.......
I have a 1960 Catalina my grandmother bought new. Been in carport since 93. Either going to show or auction. Wish there were some clubs in NC.

The 50 chieftain Catalina two hard top was my favourite beautiful car
Yes are cool cars wow

They really flow nice. The AMCs were pretty good looking too
Thank you for posting this as I was unable to attend
2022?
Yes

Awesome, awesome video. Thank you for the video
I'm all about the GPs! Some good stuff at that show though!

Great video. I'm a bit disappointed, though. I thought you'd cover more of the LARGE cars and less of the Goats and Firebirds . Anyway, great video .
Large cars just aren't very well represented. It's even more dramatic at an Olds club meet - a third of the cars are 1968-72 Cutlasses
At nearly seventy four now, I got to live in the greatest era of rigs to roll our highways. In parting shots a look at a another thirty five I think. Great looking rig but that floorshift cover made at a last moment is very detracting from this rigs value in my opinion.

I believe it was in the Modified row, but I can't remember what was updated - possibly the engine
Cool event with great cars I know you like trivia from your other videos now you probably know this but the shackled up ,GTO,from the brooks and dun song can only be a 1974 due to it being the only one with leaf springs as always i enjoy your channel with superior filming and knowledge looking forward to your next video Karl from eastern Canada
Nice! I never would have thought of that. Amazingly, the final three years of GTO were on three different platforms too
I really enjoyed this video. Damn, how many green GTO's did they make? Friend of mine out of Chicago drove down to Mecca Indiana (home of McLain Stevenson of MASH fame) to buy a 1969 Firebird T/A that I found sitting in Mecca Auto Salvage.

Bet it didn't last long!
Please show us all of the inside so we can see if it's an automatic or four speed !!!!
In my old age I appreciate the endura delete 68 GTO's with the chrome bumpers more
I had a 66 Catalina with a 389 two barrel in it. Ran like a scalded dog. Wide track! Love to see a 66 421 2+2 tripower convertible.
Parents had a 62 Tempest Wagon, then 63 & 69 Bunnies. Fantastic cars, esp the 63. Then Mom bought a 77 Ventura (like a Nova) & Dad bought an early stick Sunbird, both of which were total crap. After that they switched to Toyotas on my recommendation.
Beautiful cars, i will never understand why GM dropped the Pontiac brand 😊
Idiots for sure
They weren't selling well, but I still liked Pontiacs.
Loved the shot of the Sprint 6 LeMans. I had a 68 Firebird with that package. Probably my favorite car. Also had a 83 Phoenix. Worst pile of excrement I ever owned. GM started Pontiac's down turn when they forced them to quit building unique cars and made them sell the bland badge engineered crap.

Gene Pitney, and the cars that shocked the UK.

If you ever do a classic Mustang show.......you will have my full attention. Lol.
The Falcon Club meet will be in Kansas City this fall
@@mr.goodpliers6988 long way from Ohio
Would like info on how to join Pontiac club!
A lot of green paint.
Nice show.Too bad you showed more of the GMCs than the last generation firebirds. Good video overall.
That 06 "GTO" is an abomination and I totally get why they dropped the brand. Nothing of note was built after 1990.
57 Pontiac Chieftain was much better looking than the Chevy to me
GTO equals the great one or get your tools out.
But Hell hath no fury, like a spurned hydro carbon...
'sCARY' burbling, soon to be replaced with incandescent whining.
Never nice.
