1963 Pontiac Tempest Convertible, 82,000 Garage Kept Miles on 2040-cars
Discovery Bay, California, United States
|
I bought this Pontiac about 10 years ago and it has been parked in my warehouse ever since. If you look at the odometer photo and then look at the original title I received with the car, you will see that it has been driven exactly 70 miles in the past ten years. We make a point of starting the car frequently and driving it to the store or Post Office, in order to keep it in good running condition. It starts right up and drives extremely well. This Pontiac Tempest is a very collectable car, as it was only manufactured for one model year. It was referred to as the "baby GTO" The interior appears to be all original, including top, upholstory, door panels and carpet. I can't tell if the car has been repainted or not, but if it has, they did a fantastic job. It has its original motor and transmission and there is absolutely no evidence of the motor ever being apart. It also has its original Pontiac Tempest wheel covers, original spare wheel, original GM washer bottle under the hood and original trunk mat, along with service manuals. As you may remember, the 63 Tempest came either with a 326 ci V8 engine, or the half 326 four cylinder, with rear automatic trans axle. This car is a 4 cylinder automatic, with power steering and power top. It has its original AM Radio and it works. The back window in the convt top is foggy and I decided not to change it, because it is the original window. If you decide to change it, they are zippored and cost about $150.00 to replace. There is nothing wrong with the car, it runs and drives great and it turns heads everywhere we take it. We used it in two local parades and it drew a nice crowd. These cars will do nothing but go up in value over the next few years. There are very few left in running condition, especially convertibles. If you're looking for a car you can put away, drive once in a while and then make a profit on when you get ready to sell it, this is the car. The miles are documented at 82,183. I do ask that you please DO NOT bid on this auction if you don't have funds available to pay for the car. If the winning bidder needs to arrange shipping, I will be glad to store the car in my warehouse for up to 30 days while you line up a transporter. If you have any questions about the car, feel free to send me an email, or give me a call at (925) 437-4701. I am located in northern California, about an hour from San Francisco.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
