What In The…Anybody Need A 454-Powered, Super-Lifted Pontiac Montana?


What In The…Anybody Need A 454-Powered, Super-Lifted Pontiac Montana?

WHOA. Ok, it’s been a weird week for online finds here at BangShift, we can’t even lie. First, Chad finds that sweet, lifted Ford van. Then I come across that lifted, ready-for-anything Crown Victoria. When I wrote that story up, I kept thinking that it would be a while before that car got trumped as the wildest vehicle for sale I write about this year.

It took less than 24 hours for an even bigger freakshow to make an appearance.

The visual refresh helped, but this Pontiac Montana is still a “Dustbuster” GM minivan at it’s core…that gigantic sloping windshield gave it away. The brown on cappuccino paint and plastic ribbed body cladding announce that we have a pre-2008 GM product, for whatever that’s worth, but that’s where the jokes end. Underneath the otherwise forgettable U-body is a full frame and a fuel-injected 454 that is backed by a Jasper-sourced TH400 automatic. The frame has been fully blasted clean and rust-proofed, so don’t worry about any issues with the backbone. Inside, you still have room for eight comfortably plus a cargo area in the back, and a police light bar and siren come as part of the deal. (You’ll have to wire it up, though.)

The only fault the seller claims? The key fob probably needs a new battery. Yeah, that’s it. Otherwise, you get a big-block minivan that is sure to scare the hell out of the first person who sees it’s license plate in their rear-view mirror. C’mon, kids, we got errands to run, and crossovers to run over!

    WTF? Police lights on the roof?

    This is either a special DEA vehicle for busting backwoods crystal meth cookers or the builder is a retired cop. Either way the nearest this thing will get to the boondocks is when it drives past a poster of great outdoors as the suspension looks like it would snap off if it hit so much as a kerb. Better junk the “off-road” parts and restore it to a totally stock look then you have the ultimate family sleeper.

    That would be worth the money and you could even recoup a few dollars by selling the unwanted parts. I find this more and more attractive as I’m writing this and I will have to go and stick my head under a cold shower….
