My $200 boat anchor
 

Here's a pic of the new anchor I picked up yesterday. 1977 TA with the pontiac 400. I'm thinking of growing sideburns.

My best Burt Reynolds pose :p

Cool car! Lots of potential.Drove one to high school once upon a time.Start looking for Ram Air heads now!

You need a black cowboy hat.

Very Pretty....I want a 79 Special Edition.....Where would we be w/o our dreams.

Cool car But Now ya got me looking in car trader here :D

Nice recipe for building that 400 here http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/pontiac...chineshop.html

You need to grow a mullet hairdo too!:)

Nice project.....what's up with the GREEN wheels on the trailer!!???;)

$200?? Does it run? If so, I'll give you $250 for it!!! LOL!!!

'Foul

what's up with the GREEN wheels on the trailer!!???

It's my neighbors trailer, I think he wanted it to look like a John Deer!

$200?? Does it run? If so, I'll give you $250 for it!!! LOL!!!

It runs great, as long as you only want to go backwards! No forward gears. I have an extra trans laying around so no big deal.

swapp the tranny and I'll give you $300 for it!! LOL!!

Hmmmm, upon closer observation, I think you may be right! No wonder the hankering for a T/A.:)

Had a black one just like it many moons ago. WHERE R U, U SUM-*****.

Cool old car !:D

You do realize that the next pic you post will have to be one of you doing a burnout. Good luck with her and enjoy.

Jim & Tammy:

The link you provided was awesome. Do you know that companies reputation? Have they done work for you? I am in the middle of restoring a 66 GTO convertible - 389 w/ 3x2's. BH

Let's see some pictures of the Goat!

I've never dealt with them but like their "recipes" for 400 and 455 Pontiacs. When I lived in GA a friend had a 65 GTO that had a 400 built by Jim Raptis(Engine Research Inc) in Woodstock,GA near Dixie speedway that was unreal.He knows a LOT of tricks for the Pontiac engines.It has been 10 years since I saw it but he had a 302 DZ Chevrolet small block in a truck that was the highest revving V8 I've ever seen.Look him up.

BTW Go4broke I just sold my non running, rusty 77 T/A for a grand.You stole that one!

Cool Car,



Is that the year for Smokey and the Bandit, or is was that a 78. Shagnasty (OSO member ) just picked up one of those, a black one.

He was telling me about the Movie cars, and you can tell by the serial number or some chit. I'll give him a call and tell him about this thread.

Dano, I saw that car....In real life! Also saw the Miami Vice Spyder, the General, the GT350 in gone in 60 seconds, then the Eclipse in FF....It is sweet in real life especially for a 4 banger!!

You've seen which car ?

The Bandit ?




Over & Out,
Dano

yep...one of the ones in the movie.

You and Cuda are looking much too closely at me and not the car! I'm getting worried. BTW-you're right.

Dano, the smokey and the bandit car was a 78. There was a "bandit" edition. I think it came with t tops and a cb.

Cool car Chris! I guess you have your winter projects lined up - blowers for the boat, new car .... :D

I had a white '79 T/A with the 6.6L while back when I was in high school.

Your always LMAO,

I guess I'm just not satisfied unless I've got more crap going on than I can handle! I really didn't want another project but I couldn't pass on it for $200 and I already have the trans.:drool:

If you want to get rid of it, I am looking for a 2nd or 3rd gen F-Body....

Thanks Hyper, I'll let you know when I get rid of it. You may have to fight 'Foul for it though! I'll probably sell it after I play with it for a while next summer.

exactly what I was thinking!!
:D

That was the second year that GM installed all of those terribly restrictive catalytic converters. I sure hope you will cut them off and can get away with it. We removed them off my old friends 6.6 and it seemed like we picked up 100 HP. Those 6.6 T/As were the best ever at roasting tires.

Roby
:D

He wants it to look like Too Old's boat trailer!! :D
