1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom Two-owner Solid Ca. Car on 2040-cars
Boxford, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a two owner California car. The car was stored inside for a long time. It has beautiful sheetmetal. The floors are extremely clean with no undercoating ever. It has all of its original sheetmetal. I changed all the fluids and filters including the differential. I tuned the engine completely and properly ( I am a mechanic 63 years old, and I know Pontiacs). I cleaned the fuel system and rebuilt the original carberator. I replaced the alternator, ignition wires, battery. The car runs super nice, even the automatic choke works properly. The car is so clean, structurely speaking you can still see the assembly line chalk markings on the firewall. Sale includes all the original documents from new. Protecto-plate, the actual window sticker, warrantee booklet, etc. The brakes work great, the transmission shifts fine. It really is a well preserved original unmolested 2-door post car. The drivetrain is original and includes the optional 326 V-8 and 2-speed automatic transmission. Car does have power steering. The car is mostly ORIGINAL paint, faded lacquer from 1964. Color is a very pretty baby blue when not faded. The trunk was surface rusted but SOLID as in NO rust thru. I por15 treated the trunk floor. Lower rear quarters are perfect, all the original factory spotwelds. The car has some dents. Nothing major. Interior is quite nice with padded dash. Everything works as it should. Use as is, or refinish. The left front fender molding is scraped up, I have a decent one. Also have new GM restoration trunk weatherstrip, and right tail lens. I purchased the car in California last year. Have the California title. Really nice sound car, not perfect, not restored, but nice to enjoy, turn key car.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
