Pontiac Tojan Nightmare: Ultimate 3rd Gen?
I had never even heard of the Pontiac Tojan until today and now I'm wondering if the folks here have any more information on these things.
The 3rd of 3 Tojan's for sale here; previously sold @ Mecum auction: http://topclassiccarsforsale.com/pon...nightmare.html
Saw THIS video with the prototype car in it:
The prototype car looks like it had the Gale Banks twin turbo kit on it; production cars just every day 5.7 liter TPI engines?
Curious what's Third Gen and what's custom for the "Tojan" on these...

Re: Pontiac Tojan Nightmare: Ultimate 3rd Gen?
I watched a video where the current owner of one of the prototypes said it had the Gale Banks Twin turbo kit on it... I think the TT was only in one or two, it was not across the board... Rumor is that Pontiac did it thru Knudsen, I do not see that as being likely, I think it is more likely that Knudsen did the conversion and sold it thru Pontiac dealers.
It has a real Lamborghini Diablo feel to it... Those are ugly too IMHO.

Re: Pontiac Tojan Nightmare: Ultimate 3rd Gen?
First time I saw an IROC I thought, “I want one”
The first time I saw a Tojan I thought, “what the hell is that?” And, “Did that guy make that car at his house?”
What a weird name too.. not very bada$$ sounding
I saw a few Tojans back in the day..

Re: Pontiac Tojan Nightmare: Ultimate 3rd Gen?
I seen a white last week in NJ. The guy parked in the next parking lot so I went over for a chat. His is an 86 with 350TPI that looks and sounds in decent shape. I seen a few at an auction house in 89 but last week is the first I've seen one on the road.
