Default Re: Pontiac's SD 455

[ QUOTE ]
I worked at the main Pontiac plant complex as a co-op student going to General Motors Institute (now Kettering University) back then (71-74). One of the engineers had a 4 speed Grand Am with a SD in it (his name totally escapes me, not Herb Adams, although he was an instructor at GMI).

If only that car survived!

GTO DON probably has more info but I believe they made 2 of those before they cancelled the SD engine option in the A-body line and redirected them only into the Firebirds. Cars Magazine voted that car the Performance Car of the Year and it went to print even though the car/option was cancelled.
