April 2, 200817 yr I love the Banana Boat... so very glad to have it back. Still, I'm a car whore. Monogamy is soooo very hard. Currently I am considering a few cars to replace either the B-59 or the '77 CDV. Earlier today after XP gave me a heads up on a super cheap '76 Cadillac S&S Hearse with flame-thowers, flame paint job and in need of some TLC. I called very quickly (the car has been on Crainglist before) since the price had seemingly hit rock bottom. SOLD as of about 2 hrs. ago. Oh well. I've had this unsatable appetite for a REAL Pontiac, as in a classic Pontiac, something RWD, BOF & with one or more of the following: - Chrome Beak (metal twin-port grille) - Indian Head Hood Ornament - OHC I6 motor or Inline-8 motor I'll keep you posted, there's one I'm seriously considering.
April 2, 200817 yr Speaking of old cars, in a few days I'm going have a couple oldies but goodies to drive, both heavy and smooth, and one a 2dr hardtop. Both built in the last 25 years, but no cupholders, unfortunately...
April 2, 200817 yr How about an '80s T1000? It's a RWD Pontiac...saw one recently, first I'd seen in years. Be good on gas also.
April 3, 200817 yr Author I'd love to drive a tame-looking little Pontiac T1000 with a 8.2 liter V8! Like lighting a cigar with an atom bomb.... awesome overkill. The Pontiac I am considering is a very rough but fairly solid car, not pre-war but DAMN close, 4-door, three on the tree, INLINE-8 flathead.
April 3, 200817 yr Author Close... but not the exact car of course. That '42 IS a pre-war car and its a 2dr. The FOUR door post-WWII Poncho I'm looking at is a Streamliner.
April 3, 200817 yr Try to hold onto the Banana Boat....for Sophie. The B-59 - you could always get collector's insurance for it so that it costs you next to nothing, and put it in a garage or something where you can give the engine the car it needs at your leisure. Only sell it if the hardtop of your dreams becomes available. Try hunting down a base first gen Firebird. The last time I looked they were much more affordable than their Camaro counterparts, and I believe they used the I6.
April 3, 200817 yr Author The last time I saw a (first gen.) Firebird that was "affordable" Hell-ary Clint666n was still stealing furniture from the Lincoln Bedroom.
