This 1965 Pontiac 2+2 was built for Barry Blomquist by the Roadster Shop in Mundelein, Illinois. The car rides on a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis with a fully independent suspension, tubular control arms, and Baer six-piston brakes. A set of custom wheels designed by Roadster Shop and machined by Greening Auto Company hold Pilot Sport 295/35/19 (front) and 335/30/20 (rear) tires. Under the hood sits a 7.0 L SB4 V8 built by Mercury Racing mated to a T56 six-speed manual transmisison. The naturally-aspriated motor produces 750 horsepower at 8,000 rpm on 11.7:1 compression. The car received a Builder’s Choice Award at the 22nd Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio.

    This is totally bitch’n!!! I’ve owned a few Pontiacs (‘80 Firebird base, #matching ‘68 HO400, ‘69 Firebird 400, ‘98 Formula, ‘03 Grand Am GT1) and I’m usually against using a different engine, outside a Pontiac. At most I would have used a DCI RAV (if money was unlimited) but this is just….INCREDIBLE!!
