@qasim
the GT500 is a great car no doubt and should be there. I had thought of it but then didnt include it as already had the 65 convertible in the list . '70 Mustang - not a big fan....

@yaserag
look forward to see the pics

@shinwari786
walaikum salam. Pontiac looks in very sound condition...sad that engine is swaped with toyota but once the car is in good hands the correct engine will go back in the car....or atleast a GM V8

some more engine and interior pics of black pontiac earlier posted by shinwari786

I finally thought of posting the pics of the Barracuda. These pics are six months old now its windscreen is fully broken,holes in the roof,all windows broken its engine and transmission are also converted into diesel.

Engine bay of black pontiac.Its a toyota engine and gearbox is also shifted to floor.

@all the aftermath of the "brick treatment" on the 'cuda. I'm seriously pursuing this vehicle. The '70 E body cuda is by far my favorite pony car.. sorry qasim :). need all the luck I can with this one..

@shujjah if your pictures are indeed 6 months old then weather has really taken its toll on the roof as the roof is completely moth eaten. the dash has taken a beating as well. My argument with the shop owner was that if this thing is left out for another rainy season it'll be beyond redemption. also notice the lovely speaker holes on the door panels... unbelievable what this vehicle has been subjected to

romano (romano) 2009-10-15 02:21:00 +0600 #8345

I made an offer on the Cuda some 12 yrs ago, car was then parked at a down at heel 'showroom' in Satellite Town. Owner wanted a hundred thousand. I suspect one reason car is not changing hands is because the original owner (not sure who) has the papers, and the current 'owner' Wajahat cant sell. Pity, as the car is rapidly going downhill. Its an ex American embassy car and had the 318CID engine.

the pics of this cuda and its current state always makes me cry :'(.btw how much is this guy demanding now.i think it can still be saved but a total resto will be very difficult.its more suited to pro touring style custom job?what do u all gentlemen think?

@yaserag & Shujjah

Barrraaacudddaaaaaa!!! wow! what a car and what the -- it is doing rotting like this. Romano remember u told me that the car is now parked on the road somewhere....Good luck to whoever gets it....

@ROMANO! You told me the 'Cuda was beyond rescue!

Someone should definitely pick the car up. It's too precious to be left to rot

@yaserag, it's my favorite pony too!

saad02 (saad02) 2009-10-15 05:30:00 +0600 #8349

da Cuda shud be rescued soon..it's a beauty 2 be left like dat...

psyb0rg (psyb0rg) 2009-10-15 06:04:00 +0600 #8350

@neurosurgeon, just saw the pics, great purchase. Congrats!
Did I mention that I saw a red 70s Alfa 1600 in Karachi for sale? The car had a Toyota engine and the guy wanted 100k for it. It was in running condition. This was about 2 yrs ago. Asad Ishaque was with me that day, maybe he can remember the exact model.

romano (romano) 2009-10-18 02:59:00 +0600 #8351

Question is, Antonio, who is going to make Wajahat "an offer he cant refuse?"

icemetal (icemetal) 2009-10-18 08:07:00 +0600 #8352

@ psyb0rg : are you reffering to the red Alfo Romeo 1650, with Suzuki Cultus tail lights, pretty decent interior but a lot of rust on the body. Had a Toyota engine swapped, owned by a naval officer at NUST Karachi campus ?

impala59 (impala59) 2009-10-18 08:56:00 +0600 #8353

romano (romano) 2009-10-18 12:53:00 +0600 #8354

wsfahmed (wsfahmed) 2009-10-18 14:03:00 +0600 #8355

@all asalam aly kum, saw this sporty little MG classic at friends uncle house. the owner of this car is captain at PIA.the car will be back at its shape and throtle after his retirment.

neurosurgeon (neurosurgeon) 2009-10-19 00:49:00 +0600 #8358

psyborg/ icemetal

the naval officer...seaking was amade an offer he could not refuse...the car no longer has a toyota engine.... I am struggling with the rear lights though.... the metal had been cut out and this horrid lights put in destroying all purity of Giugiaros shape.

The engine wasnt balanced as the front cross member had been raped and mutilated as well by some mechanic who along witt the " cuda guy and a lot oif others should be lined up and shot. Now with new mounts ( Classic Alfa ) and a MIG welder things have been sorted, BUt the 2600 touring intervened... back to the 1750 this week.

@neuro

congrats on the latest addition! and is that zafar uncle looking under the bonnet in the first pic?

mohsinikram (mohsinikram) 2009-10-19 03:42:00 +0600 #8360

@neurosurgeon
the first pic is fantastic. What a duo. That bike and the fan infront have somewhat spoiled the shot but the pair looks awesome. Did you crank the 2600 engine yet? I would love to come all the way to Lahore to just hear it in anger....
