- Pontiacs in Pigeon Forge is an annual event and I had the opportunity to go this year to cover it for Hemmings.com. This event had 455 awesome Pontiacs on hand, and I picked out a few to showcase in this video.
1962 Pontiac Catalina 421 Super Duty, factory lightweight car with aluminum hood, bumpers, fenders and inner fenders. Dual quad 421 rated at 405 horsepower, but known to produce much more.
1965 Pontiac GTO convertible barn find, 389 Tri Power, beautifully preserved car and soon to be restored.
1964 Pontiac GTO, 389 Tri Power, unique color combo and excellent tire and wheels choice, consisting of super rare HURST wheels and BFGoodrich Redline radial tires.
1963 Pontiac LeMans, old drag car with HISTORY! Crazy home made tunnel ram with FAST EFI.
1964 Pontiac GTO, blacked out hot rod with steel wheels and big rubber out back.
1964 Pontiac GTO Nostalgia Super Stocker, 428 with a Jerico 4 speed!
1964 Pontiac GTO "The Mystery Indian" vintage drag car from New York. Tons of history...old photos, old decals and old trophies, and this car still performs!
Blown front engine dragster...rarely ever see a nostalgia drag car with Pontiac power and this one has a vintage Hampton supercharger and some other cool details.
1963 Pontiac Tempest with 455ci Super Duty engine, aluminum heads and Tri Power.
I've been a Pontiac nut since I was a kid. Trans Ams, GTOs, Gra prixs, etc. I love em all.
I use to own a 64 tempest with a built 400 pontiac power when I was 19 years old. Smoke all the 5.0 fox body mustangs back in the 90s.
I can't remember ever talking to anyone who hated Pontiac. Almost every car guy I know had at least one. The Pontiac experiment that is uppermost in my mind is the OHC-six; particularly the 4 bbl Sprint.
Enjoyed!!!! 👍👍
Pontiac Power!
I had a 1972 LeMans with factory GTO Hood and Front Fenders. The give away was the 350 emblems on the sides.
I should have kept that car.
as always...enjoyed this very much,thanks for posting...
Nice! Thanks champion. 👍🇦🇺
That 63 Catalina is next level beautiful, I just hope it gets driven more than on and off a trailer.
I owned quite a few of them GTOs in my younger days
I owned a maroon hard top 65 Tri-power 4 speed GTO, and 64, 4 speed black hard top 4-barrel GTO.
Pontiac is one of those GM divisions that are missed. I owned a 1993 Grand Am GT, and I loved that car. Not a classic I know, but could be one day. VERY cool cars! Thanks for sharing!!
I think that you young man are doing a fantastic job with your knowledge of all this old school automotive drag racing history and period parts that were available back then. Then to compile all into a video format is the icing on the cake.
Well Done Sir! Thanks 😊
Pontiac will always be in my Heart.
How about Oldsmobile?
As a lover of all things Pontiac since the early '60s, I really enjoyed this video ! Thanks for featuring the "Tin Indians" !!
You should do a coverage on hi performance station wagons when you go to shows you will find them lots of people convert them ,I seen a superbee wagon ,a 66 Chevelle wagon ss 396 ,67 Fairlane wagon 427 super stock there out there and I know you will find them
Do a coverage on that 65 burgundy gto station wagon that was a beautiful piece ,your friend Andy from Paterson nj o7501
When I was a pre teen in the 60's this guy took us to the bus stop in a 64 GTO convertible. He wasn't particularly a car car guy per se, but somehow he got this factory car that was originally equipped with a 421 SD and a 4 spd and a 4:56 rear gear. He used to drive the car like a little old man shifting from a stand still in second gear then right to 4th. I asked the guy with the Catalina in your video about the car and he looked shocked saying there were only one or two cars built like that!
Cool old Pontiac's I like my brother had a 66 Pontiac LeMans but he sold it long time ago
Nice
Very cool seats
Hard to pick a favorite but the blacked-out GTO gets my vote. Thanks for taking us along!
Awesome bunch of Ponchos! As they were called back in my day...
Awesome group of Pontiac's love the old school car's!!
I had no idea that Pontiac built some of these stock high horse power cars. Thanks for the enlightenment 😎
It's hard to beat Pontiac power. Great video
Great video. Thank you
Love ❤️ my Pontiacs!
I went to a machine shop and the guy had T/F engines and screw blowers around it was cool. I went to another machine shop and laying on a pallet was a 400 Pontiac block and some weird looking heads and I couldn't figure out at the time what it was. Turns out it was a Ram Air IV. That was more bitchin' to me than the fuel stuff. Guess I'm crazy.
👍🇺🇸
Man i love Pontiacs, that black gto with the steelies is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen😮.
My mom had a blue 70's Pontiac grand-am with the 400, and my dad had a red 79 trans-am.
My mom talking about that car all my life is probably why im mainly into Pontiacs.
I have a 79 10th anniversary edition transam for my first Pontiac.
If you have to explain you are not a Pontiac guy, then you are not a true car guy. You are only a Chevy guy. A car guy will never explain his love for any make of car.
loved the show actually was working it saturday alot of beautiful rides it has me motivated to work on my old pontiacs now
I had a 64 GTO tri and 4 spd in the 60's and later a 68. I sold both cheap, I have hated myself since
Nice 😊
🏁👍That"War Dance" GTO has to lose the"EFI" though.
That Catalina is gorgeous , love the wagon and the black gto .. hell all of them were cool
Super cool!!
Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Dad had a silver 64 GTO 389 6 pack and a stick.
Now you know I got respect for you For what you do and what you stand for I wouldn't call that dragster Saying it's The part of the top is fake Because he does got a blower in the air nozzles do open up, If it was coming through a top of a car That didn't have a blower You could say fake. A lot of people would tell you the same thing Age difference I just turned 51 So I remember the switch over from black & white t vs I was around through the helmet law Catalytic converters Ride in the back of pickup trucks When the county workers could all have beers On the lunch breaks and nobody got hurt. Add a tow in account , The people that had the highway tow truck account Sat in a bar Had a couple beers It wouldn't got to work done it wouldn't a big deal back then nobody got hurt, Awesome saying is I wouldn't call that gentleman's car Part of his car fake after he let you shoot it when it's not fake Something to think about I didn't disrespect you God bless you and family .
Fake might've been a strong word, but that's not really a fuel injector hat on top of the blower. It's just a cover that goes over a regular carburetor. Therefore it is not a real injector. Wasn't meaning any harm by it.
Some Awesome Pontiacs.
A very good video on these Pontiac’s appreciate you sharing. 💯👊👍
