68 Firebird
 
I thought my friends 68 Bird with the inline 6 was pretty cool. No shots from the front but I havent seen the PMD engine before. Its mostly stock, but he put a 200r4 in the car and had to make some really cool brackets to adapt the kickdown to the quadrajet carb linkage. For those that think, so what, the Q-jet on this engine sits sideways and the throttle linkage composes of a combination of cables and rods since the arm for the throttle sits side to side instead of front to back.

We rebulit one of those before. They actually run well.

That is a firebird sprint 6, SOHC, great motor! With a 200r4 behind, it must be a great runner!

We had a perfect example of one of those at the Nats a few years ago.

Pontiac was ahead of their time with that motor

Pretty sure this was at my work (Sussex Honda) back in October or so. I loved the car and color and really respected the fact that he kept it a straight 6 instead of dropping a V8 in it like usual.
