Thread: The Phoenix (the other red pontiac)

been procastinating about this thread and then took some terrible pics before sunset but more to come once i polish her up this weekend (one car at a time)

1978 Pontiac Phoenix LJ
350 stock v8
Saganaw 4 speed trans with hurst shifter.

so for the past 3 years have been chasing a vibration in the rear end. tried everything from balancing tires,new rims,balancing driveshaft, bearings, and FINALLY got it figured out (yoke for the rear diff was effed) so I finally get to drive her over 60km/hr.

anyways going to drive it the rest of the summer and hopefully pull the motor for a rebuild. not sure which route we're going to take with building it but the plan is to get some more power without murdering the transmission.

pics below.











and yes the pontiac badge on the trunk doesn't belong (from a newer model) but i'm afraid of pulling more then the badge off since i dont know how long it's been on there.

Looks like an extensive amount of rivets on the front bumper....but that could just be my lack of knowledge lol

^i think it's missing the rubber molding like the rear bumper has!

Not to bad looking

Looks like the Nova's brother
