Super clean 1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom. Basically an original bone stock survivor car, original drivetrain and interior in fantastic condition! Originally a Florida car which soon moved to Oregon, it is rock solid and has no serious rust issues. Car collectors call cars from Oregon "Oregon Gold" since they are not subject to winter road salt or extreme sunny hot temperatures.
Features:
High Line factory "Custom" package includes lots of chrome trim and upgrades.
Power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning.
4 door body style, great for the whole family. HUGE trunk ideal for luggage, shopping trips, tailgate parties or the mother-in-law ;)
Classic gold interior and headliner looks fantastic! Interior is 97% original and like new condition. Newer Alpine stereo with Sirius radio!>
Original 326 V8 with 2 barrel Rochester carb and automatic transmission, runs great on regular gas and gets a very decent 20+ mpg highway!
Pontiac Rally II wheels and the white letter tires have deep tread like new. Spare tire in the trunk is new. Odometer presently reads "08799.0", so we feel safe to say it has 108, 799 miles and 0/10ths on it. The engine numbers (heads, block) do match the production year and shows no sign of ever being removed, rebuilt or "hot rodded". It's pretty much a bone stock orginal 326 Pontiac V8. Muffler is new and similar to a Flow-Master, quiet but a nice low throaty V8 tone.
This car is a great driver and lots of fun. It's not a pristine show car, but it is a very clean daily driver. We take it to the drive-in movies, car shows, shopping trips, church and Sunday breakfast out, beach trips, the 4th of July fireworks and even the occasional commute to work. Very reliable! Ready for a coast to coast road trip right now, just turn the key and go. It's an old car with lots of room under the hood so it is easy to work on for routine service like oil changes and tune ups.
Like all older cars, there are a few things you probably want to be aware of:
The car has factory installed Air Conditioning and it does work but it eventually leaks down on freon. Probably needs a new compressor (about $250-$350).
The paint is beautiful in an old car kind of way. It does have that nice aged patina and warm golden glow only a vintage car can have. It also has it's share of scratches and dings. Instead of going with a new paint job, we decided to keep the original paint and had her pinstriped by the legendary striper Big Chris in 2011. Looks sharp and gets lots of compliments and "thumbs up" when driving.
Please contact me if you'd like to see the car in person for a test drive, need more pictures, info etc. Thanks for looking!

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
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."
