My old Pontiac (picture)

I don't know how you relate to thread called "My old Pontiac." It seems you did real good work redoing your GTO. Congratulations. But, unfortunately, the first think that come to mind was (what kind of mileage does it get?" )

Some of those old behemoths did pretty well. Naturally, they had compression ratios not well supported by today's highway fuel.

That car is awesome. You don't have it anymore?

Unfortunately no - I sold it to the Miami Vice TV show - it did make it into one of the last episodes repainted it's original blue.
After MV stopped production it made it into a short lived TV show set in Key West then I lost track.

The '71 engines had lower compression ratio's and mine had 307 highway gears in the rear.
I could get 17 mpg when I controlled my right foot.

Those were good times
