I agree but do like the 1970 GTO Judge and the Firebird as well. And what the heck, a quote from My Cousin Vinny about not just any Pontiac...

“No, there’s more! You see? When the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even? Well, the ‘64 Skylark had a solid rear axle, so when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge. But that didn’t happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension. Now, in the ‘60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction, and independent rear suspension, and enough power to make these marks. One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark. The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheel base, and wheel track as the ‘64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.”

My Dad was the coolest Dad on the planet when he bought a 67 GTO with a 455 engine, TH-400 automatic transmission with the dual gate select shift. I still laugh when I think about my Dad saying, “these factory tires are terrible. They haven’t lasted 20,000 miles.” I told him, “your oldest son (my older brother) knows what the problem is.” “He’s the one that has left all the tread on the street at the bottom of our hill!”
