how old are you?

I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest lol!

i'm 75 but can't bring myself to buy one untill GM can build it right. (without all the problems)

 

[RobbyS]

It's funny you say that, seeing how 90% of Pontiac's were just re-branded Chevys.

Not really. The GTO? I liked Trans Ams with the WS6 package better than the Camaros. G8? Solstice? Grand Am and Grand Prix? G6 coupe?
Yes, there were quite a bit of re-branded products, but there were also a lot that weren't.

 

[RobbyS]

I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest lol!

Unless you're 15, you're the same age or older than I am.

Yes, there were quite a bit of re-branded products, but there were also a lot that weren't.

Pontiac, Saturn, and Chevy are all very similar and there was a lot of rebadging over the decades and most used similar frames/platforms... Especially throughout the last decade. The Delta was HUGE lol

But I've always felt Pontiacs generally looked better than Chevys also, like the 'Birds and the G5 compared to their Chevy counter parts. However the Sky kills the Solstice IMO

My greatest wish never came true to have a LNF G5 GT all factory with a lip...

No I'm 17 haha

You're a year older than I am then.

Pontiac, Saturn, and Chevy are all very similar and there was a lot of rebadging over the decades and most used similar frames/platforms... Especially throughout the last decade. The Delta was HUGE lol

But I've always felt Pontiacs generally looked better than Chevys also, like the 'Birds and the G5 compared to their Chevy counter parts. However the Sky kills the Solstice IMO

My greatest wish never came true to have a LNF G5 GT all factory with a lip...

Yeah, I like the Pontiac versions better in most cases. I like the G5, but I like the taillights on the Cobalt better. Yes, the Sky is better looking. But the guy I was replying to said they were re-branded Chevys.
I remember being 15 wanting this G5 GT soooo badly, but my parents were going to wait until I turned 16 to get me a car. I'm glad they did.
A turbo G5 would've been nice.

I would die for that 68 rs. Very impressive list. I tip my hat to you

I bought it as a restoration project but sadly had to sell it before doing much to it. I bought it in 1979 and sold it in 1980 for what I paid for it. You would die if you knew that amount!

 

[$ub$onic]

Lol atleast you got what you payed for it.

Was that a Lincoln mark series?

 

[JohnT]

Was that a Lincoln mark series?

It was a Lincoln Mark 5 two door...why in the hell someone would want a two and half ton two door I'll never know

Sat in a field for many years and rusted...bought for a winter beater in maybe 98? Went to drive it and the gas tank fell out! So I got a free broken Lincoln. New straps and a new tank and it was good to go for about $150. You could Fred Flintstone from the back seat. Gas gauge didn't work cause I killed the float, but I filled it with about $40 when gas was a buck and I remember running out of gas with 199 miles on the trip meter I was 17 and had a lead foot but that was ridiculous...like 2mpg. Hilarious rig though.

I loved my mark 8. I love the whole mark series all together! My mark8 would get 20+ but when you put your foot into it holy mother of god. It was fast as hell and got 5 mpg! It was a great car till it got wrap around a tree by my brother in law
