Looks very similar to mine which is from the 1980's. Is your Pontiac's manufacturer Star Toys? I don't have the box anymore but the remote controller has the text: "Star Toys". Very cool find, I haven't found yet one single toycar like mine from net but yours may be the same or similar one.
Mine stopped working some time in the 80's but recently I opened up the remote controller and noticed one loose wire, putted it back and it worked again after 20 years :) The front lights are lit only when they are in popup position and the motor is running.
Here's few pics of it:

Cool, your car is still in working condition too :) These toys may be quite rare these days, at least in working condition.
