Classic Pontiac Street Muscle — Its what GM called unibody construction, same as the Firebird and Camaro so body flex is a problem when driving on uneven ground. The stock 305 CID motor had ample power but my 396 CID engine swap almost trippled the grin factor (425HP - 470Tq).

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Pros: Rare to find a RWD Pontiac Phoenix, not to mention the 2DR Coupe model.

Cons: Passes almost everything, except gas stations.

Late Muscle Car, Excellent By Jakob

Bought the car after being abandoned by a young man going to turn it into a Nova clone. I got it fairly cheap, and have put little money into it. Car is a blast to drive, turns heads everywhere. Gas ... Read More
