You know I think 1976 was likely the last year of the General's 455's in any of their cars. Pretty sure 1975 was the last 454 in Chevelles.Sammy, l once owned a 1976 Grand Prix, 455, Turbo 400, console shifter, black with red interior, t-tops, and Honeycomb wheels.
That's one l wish l had back.
Man those were tough times for car hobby folks. All the de-tuned engines with the choked down horsepower and engine compartments
cluttered with those air pumps ,smog era n anti-pollution tubings and manifolds etc... I loved Pontiacs. A few years back I messed up and
backed off on a Pontiac with only 19,000 mi that is one of my favorites. It just wasnt a good time still having a Chevelle and a big boat
sitting in the shop. If I ever go after another classic it will be this: 1977 Pontiac LeMans Sport Coupe Can Am. Very limited amount sold. They
stopped producing them when the mold that was used to make the rear deck lids with built on spoiler broke and it was going to cost way
more than they were willing to pay for another. Gotta be one of my all time favorite "smog era" Pontiacs.
