Get it...? Trans-Fire-Mation...? Transformation...? Oh, well, this May 1978 Super Stock magazine thought they had a pretty clever play on words going on here. And, giving them a little slack, you might say they were on the right track. After all, they were discussing the latest hot info out from the Herb Adams camp VSE- very Special Equipment for building one's Trans Am into a real street and track performer. And who better to reference than Mr. Trans Am himself? This information is as good today as it was 48 years ago if you are scooting around in a '70s Trans Am and want to make it even better. These VSE Trans Ams were actually called Fire Ams and if you find one today, hang onto it. You'll have something very special.

Check out the making of a Trans Am "Fire Am" in our On-Line Magazine at PontiacRegistry.com.

BTW: This is our 229th Vintage Magazine/Test Report posted here for your enjoyment. If you had to buy a $10.00 swap meet magazine to find these Pontiac articles, you would have spent $2,290.00, but if you join PontiacRegistry.com for even just one year you would save $2,277.01. Think of all the extra Pontiac parts you could buy with that. Heck, your wife may even think you were smart.

Like so much in our great old car hobby, this story is all about a passion that started early, went through a number of ups and downs, types and years of cars and trucks purchased, and ultimately landed on one of the writers favorite cars of all. What better way to sum this up than with the writer's own words: "This Pontiac Safari now represents much more than just a vehicle. It is the culmination of a journey that began half a century ago. Its rarity, its Canadian history, and the extensive research I conduct to document its origins make it a unique project. Over the years, I have come to understand that
collecting is not simply about owning classic cars. It is also about preserving their history, finding their original documents, understanding their journey, and passing this heritage on to future generations." We couldn't have said it any better!

For such a fledgling automotive manufacturer, it is amazing just how far and wide the Pontiac name and product reached. In this case clear down yonder (or Under) to Australia. Naturally there was a tight connection with Holden which had GM links for a long time, but it is still an interesting story of how Pontiac became an Aussie favorite. In this case, a 1929 Pontiac was chosen to begin a cab livery which grew with a family business into a huge bus and cab line. It is quite a story that spans many generations of a family with, of all names- "Driver." Pretty cool name to be linked so tightly to cars and buses.

Read all about how a '29 Pontiac started an empire of sorts in our On-Line Magazine at PontiacRegistry.com.

An article we came across by the late-John Gunnell, Pontiac lover and well-known automotive writer and historian took on the discussion of why there aren't many Pontiac Hot Rods or Customs. While sharing John's work, we also took a deeper dive into a matter that has gotten even more confusing. That is Hot Rods vs. Street Rods vs. Customs vs. Pro Street vs. Pro Stock, and to even further confuse matters, vs. Resto Rods and Resto Mods. If some of our definitions help, great. If not, just build your car like you want and don't worry about what pigeon hole it may or may not fit into.

There is little doubt that 1969 might be considered the pinnacle of American automotive performance. And GM was no slouch when it can to doing their part, as illustrated in this old Popular Hot Rodder magazine article. As most all muscle era hobbyists are aware, Pontiac performance was all part of the entire GM "package" of development and the individual divisions' somewhat sneaky way of getting around the restrictions put on by the big brass. The article also shows some of the "inbreeding" going on between the divisions.

If you are only interested in all things Pontiac, this article may disappoint you as the writers here at Popular Hot Rodder spent the majority of their time discussing Chevrolet. But, you gotta give credit where credit is due. And when reading all they documented about Chevy's small block leading, it makes you wonder why Pontiac (or others) also didn't explore the small block arena (not including the limited 303). Just a thought.

When PMD decided that an overhead cam engine in an American car was "about time" as it was common already throughout Europe, it was quite a remarkable accomplishment. However, the U.S. market just wasn't ready for it. So it is good to know that today such an American experiment is alive and well overseas doing successfully what people like J.Z. Delorean had thought from the beginning. This story is about a '69 Le Mans that began its life in Sweden and today enjoys an easy life of hobby appreciation still in Sweden.

Recently we stumbled on an interesting article concerning the "Real" Last Pontiac. We were surprised to learn that there had been some controversy concerning which car was the "real" last one. We were not surprised, however, to learn that none other than Tim Dye of the Pontiac Museum was able to solve the mystery, and actually come to now possess this famous Pontiac to display in the museum. It is an interesting part of Pontiac's long history. Sadly, it turns out that the last Pontiac wasn't a sexy GXP G8, but on the other hand Pontiac was always noted as being a good car for an everyday driver and family. So, perhaps this little G6 is a good representation of just that.

One of our Pontiac friends, Carlos Pinto, clear over in Portugal likes to design futuristic dream and concept cars- Pontiacs being one of his favorites. But recently he sent us a "What If" Pontiac logo design and setting that got us to thinking about the chain of Pontiac logos through the years- and their why and wherefores. One thing you gotta admit is that PMD did maintain a "look" or identity that served them well. Well, up until the politically correct bunch came along. But that was OK as things needed modernizing anyway.

The year of 1969 is pretty much undisputed as the peak of the muscle car era. So it was a perfect time for one of the premier car magazines to do a comparison of some of "MoTown's" offerings. Such is this report by Car Craft, but it wasn't a shoot-out, rather an in depth breakdown of what made each model the tough on-street contender. Normally we wouldn't go into much detail of what "the other guys" were offering, but since Car Craft did all the work already, why not share it here? It's good to see what Pontiac was up against, and in the eyes of CC, they did pretty well in the stack-up.

Remember the old classic "The Great Pretender?" The Platters sang it in 1959 as a sad love song while later movies turned it into stories of mystery and intrigue. Others (usually referred to as Impostors) have gone through history being many things they really weren't. So, has our little Pontiac tried to pull the wool over our eyes being things it never was? Well, sort of, but not in a bad way... unless you count things like law suits that is. Nonetheless, there have been a number of cracks at turning this 2-seat econo-transporter into the sporty, exotic car most had wished for from the start. And in a sort of strange turn of events, the failures in doing so have actually produced some rather interesting collectible, unique Pontiacs.
