If you have been looking for a muscle car that is as POWERFUL, SAFE and RELIABLE  then look no further.  This 1967 Pontiac Tempest has been gone through mechanically from top to bottom and front to back.  You are going to be getting essentially a NEW car in the skin of a 67 classic.  Everything from the motor, transmission, rear end, brakes, suspension, steering, and cooling system are all new.

First lets start with the heart of the beast:
  • 2001 LS1 motor that is putting down at least 450hp.  The motor has been modified with an LS6 intake, MS4 cam, Titanium valve springs, 36lb injectors, Hedman Headers, ported throttle body, 85mm MAF, custom cold air intake, and a computer Tune by Texas Speed and Performance.  Custom wiring harness.  Motor has approx 110k miles, with about 6k miles with the modifications.
  • 15 gallon fuel cell with sump.  Bosch 044 fuel pump, corvette filter regulator.  All braided stainless fuel line with 6AN fittings.
  • New radiator with 2001 Camaro electric fans
  • Custom 3" exhaust with cutouts dumping into cherry bombs  (its loud)

Backing up the motor:
  • Fully built TH400 that is good for around 900hp.  It has a trans brake, full reverse manual valve body with race clutches to handle a hard launch and still be street able without issue.  
  • Pro-matic II ratchet shifter
  • FTI 3800 stall converter with anti-balloon (if you want to run nitrous) - good for repeated launches in the 850hp range.  
  • 10 bolt rear end fully built with 3.73 gears, Yukon Axles, Eaton Posi Unit

Suspension, Brakes, and Steering:
  • All new front and rear upper lower control arms (boxed in the rear) with new bushings
  • New Hotchkis front and rear springs (lower front about 1.5" and rear about 1")
  • New KYB Adjustable shocks 
  • Front Disc brake conversion (300 miles on them now) with a power brake booster and Disc/Drum proportioning valve
  • New Rear Drum Brakes (about 600 miles on them)
  • New steering center link, idler arm with all new ball joints/bushings
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box (12 to 1 ratio, WAY tighter than the old 16 to 1 original box)

Wheels and Tires:
  • Nitto NT55R drag radials on Rally wheels (15") - Biggest size I could stuff under there
Interior:
  • Excellent condition front and rear seats, no tears/rips or any wear for that matter.  Like brand new
  • Carpet is in good shape
  • New headliner, no rips/tears
  • Aftermarket stereo that looks stock but has iPod hookup in front (from Crutchfield)
  • Tach mounted in stock clock location
  • OBD-II port (I use an adapter that works with my phone for the Torque app)

As you can see the car has been gone through, only things I think are left to do is eventually put new Dakota Digital gauges in the stock location, and replace the rubber around the windows (I have the rubber and it will go with the car).

 GOOD LUCK BIDDING -  FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!!!!

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
