Found within a unique “banana belt” near the Southern Oregon border, warm weather and rugged beauty are all around. The temperatures around Brookings are so significantly warmer than other towns nearby that meteorologists named the phenomena — the “Chetco Effect”.
We also have the Klamath, Smith, Winchuck, Chetco, Pistol, Rogue, Sixes and the Elk river within 75 miles.

Banshee haunts Pontiac
In 1964 the XP-833 was created at Pontiac under the watch of John Delorean. There were two prototypes assembled, a hardtop with an inline 6 cylinder engine and a white convertible, possibly with a V8 engine. Delorean wanted to put it into production but the higher ups at GM thought a 2 seat sports car would eat into Corvette sales. However, the body style seems to have influenced the 1968 Corvette redesign.
The 1966 Pontiac Banshee was code named the XP-798. It was a 4-seat Corvette competitor featuring a 421 V8 engine and independent suspension. Before the 1966 New York Auto Show it was pulled from debuting to the public.
In 1971, Bill Collins, a GM exec, found some left over Banshee badges off of the XP-798 concept and fitted them to the XP-833, or now known as the 1964 Pontiac Banshee.
The Banshee III was created in 1974 and definitely influenced the later 1977-78 Trans-Am styling. The engine was a 455 Super Duty and had almost a identical interior of a Trans-Am of the time.
The final Banshee was the 1988 Banshee IV. The fiberglass body enclosed a 230hp overhead cam V8. It featured a heads-up display system that was optional on some GM vehicles 10+ years later. The overall body was influenced the 1993 Pontiac Trans-Am.

I understand you can modify it.... I will... and, you can get tracer rounds!!! I will power mine with HPA (high pressure air) as C02 freezes way to fast for full auto.

Better day today, dump truck started, I gave my mower blade a haircut.
That took almost a hour.
High tensile fence wire. Amazing what can happen in a few seconds.
Great cutters.
