’70 Pontiac Grand Prix, brochure description on Flickr – Photo Sharing!
From time to time, I have seen folks mention the Flock browser, but have yet to tinker with it. After reading a post by Damon the other day, I took it for a spin tonight. Somehow, I ran across Grand Prix pictures at Flickr, and decided to try blogging from Flock:
'70 Pontiac Grand Prix, brochure description on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The Erben Grand Prix still sits quietly in the garage here in Boise, but as spring nears, we'll be firing the old girl up again. After the trip from Omaha to Boise in 2003, the jostling on the trailer for 1400 miles broke several of the wheel studs on the front end (and to think, it is only a small block in there and not the 455, although it is a full six feet of hood). Poking around, and on this photostream, the black and the green look pretty good, and I got a kick out of popping the hood to cool it off. Still probably a year or two out from full restoration (the yard is this years project), but time to get it going again.

Yes, the ‘ol GP was ordered to specifics. No power windows & etc. The 455 motor might’ve been nice, but even in 1970 one thought about the comparative expense in mpg with gas skyrocketing from 28.9 to 31.9 or more for premium. Seems to me the 400 had pretty good thrust; you could smoke the rear tires when it was a pup (not that I ever did). Keep in mind the gas tank got dented in the move from Cheyenne and the gas gauge reads a bit more than is actually in the tank.

If the TA is for Nora…what about Tyler? He needs something to pick up “chics and their moms” to coin a phrase from Cody’s past!

For Tyler, we are looking at putting him in something like a Geo Metro or equivalently neutered automobile. Whatever he can scrape together from allowances and odd jobs. I have seen him drive his Jeep, he does not need over 125HP.

I’ve got an ’85 Audi that needs some work.
