Pontiac’s top engine was the 389 cubic inch V8, and while this one was originally topped with a 2-barrel carburetor, there’s a Demon 4-barrel unit living there now (the original carburetor is available). This is the car’s original engine, coded as an A1 Trophy engine with 267 horsepower. Painted with correct Pontiac Turquoise and dressed up with an oversized open-element air cleaner, it definitely lives up to the excitement brand’s reputation. Other luxury features include the power braking system with an updated dual master cylinder, power steering, a new alternator in place of the original generator, and a Roto-HydraMatic automatic transmission. A newer dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers gives it a muscular tone that is never annoying. Optional spinner hubcaps look awesome and it wears bias-ply wide whites to complete the 1960s luxury look.
