Your new musclecar

NewHemi · 10-12-2010, 04:27 PM

In 1976, the era of muscle cars was pretty much over, but I was single and ready for a new car, so I went to the Pontiac dealer where I had seen a silver Pontiac Grand Prix with red interior. The car was 455 automatic with posi rear, and just about every other option possible including power sunroof.

A tune up and a touch by Arlen vanke and the car ran geat until I put it in a ditch hitting a huge boulder a year later driving in a condition that I should not have driving in, and bent the frame all to heck.

That was my first and last new muscle car. If you can call a boat like that a muscle car even with 455 in it... In the early eighties, I got my hands on a 67 Buick GS400 that I liked a lot, but being married, my wife didnt think much of me spending so much time with the car(s). Fortunately, she ran off with another guy, so I got rid of that problem. But after the divorce, I moved and had no room for the GS400, so I had to sell it, along with three other project cars, I had at the time.

Oh well.. At least I had one for a while.
