A couple of people have told me to try and get an article about my car into High Performance Pontiac. I put in a call today to see what they say, got the editors voicemail. Do you think my car could make it in, would ya's wanna see it in a magazine, I know I'd love to.

Oh yeah, I think you have a pretty good change at getting it in a Magazine. With rims, and a suspension drop, it'd deffinitely get in.

I used to subscribe to that mag since I had 69 Firebird, and they MOSTLY do true Pontiacs, meaning ones that actually have Pontiac engines. I lot of Pontiac purists do not consider any Poncho after '81 a "true" Pontiac. I have seen a few w/ Chevy engines, but they were very fast, expensive, out of the ordinary cars. But it never hurts to try.

Well I'm not so sure you will get in the magazine with a near stock engine. The body is awesome, but they usually look for really clean engine bays, and decked out engines. Like if you had a sweet superram/mini-ram setup that ran 12's or something...you would get in for sure!

 

Looks good dude, but I think its gonna take rims and more meat under the hood first. And I don't know about the 'true' Pontiac deal, they do articles on GTP's and stuff... I'm sure a nice ride all decked out (even late model w/ Chevy underhood) would make it in just fine

Hell Yeah! You are there man! Go for it! It looks great the way it is.

Friday they finally called me back, asked what I had done to it, what it runs, what I plan to do, and what I plan to run. He then asked me to send him whats done/plans in writing and some pics and he'll see what he can do.
