Besides selling a 07 Grand Pix with one owner and 14,779 original miles...I am new here.

My first Pontiac was a hail damaged 1970 T37 Lemans that the second prior owner had removed the 350 and put in a 421 tri power engine from what I believe was a 66 Bonneville. I got the tri power with the car but it was not on the car. That car looked bad ( Montana hail storms are like its raining hammers) but it certainly ran well with the 4 bbl and headers. I drove it pretty hard as a 20 year old might. I also tried to drive it home from Montana to PA. After 763 miles straight, something blew in the engine and I laid down a smoke screen that James Bond would have been proud of.

At 6 am on a Sunday morning I was alongside the highway in Hawley Minnesota. I found a payphone ( 1980 remember ?) and called every junkyard I could, I offered the car for $100 and a ride to the Bismark ND airport. One guy was interested and thats how my cross country drive ended. That was my T37 with a 421.
