Pontiac Podcast Episode 7- Tiger's Revenge ( John Petze)
Tiger’s Revenge — A Life Story | John Petze | Pontiac PodcastWhat if the car you bought as a 17-year-old kid eventually became the connection between you and a family searching for a piece of their past?This week on the Pontiac Podcast, Curt and Eric sit down with John Petze, longtime owner of Tiger’s Revenge, a 1967 Pontiac GTO with an incredible racing history and an even better story.John bought Tiger’s Revenge in 1974, during the gasoline crisis, from a young family who had raced the GTO under the Tiger’s Revenge name. He had no idea that nearly 50 years later, the car would help reconnect him with the family who originally owned and raced it.After decades of ownership, an internet post asking, “Does anyone know what happened to Tiger’s Revenge?” eventually led to an incredible reunion with Mick McKinnon, whose family had raced the car when he was a kid.From the original racing days at New England Dragway, to John’s decades of ownership, the search for the car, the restoration, and a very special ride for Mick’s mother Lois, this is much more than a story about a GTO. It’s a story about cars, family, memories, and the people who keep Pontiac history alive.And of course, we’ll get into the Pontiac stuff too — including the car’s 400-based 461 stroker engine, producing approximately 430 horsepower and 510 lb-ft of torque.Tiger’s Revenge is back. And John Petze is here to tell us the whole story.In This Episode:The origins of Tiger’s RevengeBuying a 1967 GTO at just 17 years oldThe car’s racing historyNearly 50 years of ownershipThe internet search that changed everythingReconnecting Tiger’s Revenge with its original familyMick McKinnon and the McKinnon family storyBringing the GTO back to lifeThe emotional connection to Lois McKinnonThe current 461 Pontiac V8And plenty of Pontiac bench racing!Pontiac Podcast with Curt & EricPontiacs.
