Buick V6 And Style: 1978 Pontiac Phoenix
The Phoenix was a compact GM offering that lived on the rear-drive Nova platform (1977-1979) and later switched to the front drive Chevy Citation X-Body platform shared with the Buick Skylark & Oldsmobile Omega. This early Phoenix could be considered an upscale version of the Pontiac Ventura, and today’s example is powered by a 231 cubic inch version of Buick’s V6. Find this 1978 Pontiac Phoenix offered for $6,500 in Grayslake, IL via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

A Buick 3.8 Turbo V-6 swap would certainly wake this car up.
Does that distributor have connections for 8 cylinders?
Did you guys hire my Aunt Myrtle to pick cars? Sheesh………..this is one dead bird never to rise again.
Hire? Aunt Myrtle works for room and board.
So why is the passenger side seat more beat than the driver side?
Let’s see:
Late 70s
Column shift
No console
Plenty of legroom if you happen to be facing backwards in the passenger seat
Yeah the 70s
If those carpets could talk…
They would probably ask to be cleaned.
