Hi Barry,
That's a great car. Those 60's Pontiacs were pretty cool. The engines and transmissions are great. So is the body quality. Even the suspension designs are pretty good for thier time, although the springs are way too soft. Watch out for the brakes. Try to bring it to a COMPLETE stop from 80mph really fast. You will be suprised, they will totally fade away at about 20mph.
Pontiac never made a 460. Those cars usually have a 389 or 421, both great engines. Some people swap in the later 455.

I have a car with a 455. It is a 1971 Buick Riviera. Not as polished as the Pontiac here though. It is known for its boattail body style. It also stops like a boat.

you guys might love this style but I get sick of all the old US car parades around here (Big Three Country)
Except for maybe a chopped lowered Led Sled and the old split window vette ..these cars generally sucked at control, accelleration, fuel milage, and looks.
Just my opinion.....
Although they do make great art!!
