This beautiful first year Pontiac Tempest has undergone a comprehensive restoration completed in 2006. Originally starting life as a four door sedan, with a 194 four cylinder and "Corvair style" rear mounted transmission and swing arm suspension; this ride has had a few modifications. Fully converted to a two door with the installation of a transmission tunnel, coil suspended ford rear differential including posi-traction. Engine appointments include a heavy duty aluminum radiator, dual electric fans very adequately cooling a new 330hp, 380lb-ft HO350 GM crate engine based on the small block Chevrolet. Full experience appointments include power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, door poppers and remote power windows. The exhaust system includes headers connected to 2-1/2 inch dual exhaust through "turbo" style mufflers. Interior includes a custom metal color matched counsel with digital gauges providing for the oil pressure, temperature and voltage. Tilt steering with a color matched leather wrapped steering wheel to complement the beige interior seat inserts and headliner. Front bucket seats include a power drivers side and the side windows are tinted laminated glass with tinted film applied to rear glass. A new windscreen was installed during the restoration as wall all rubber seals, belt line seals, slides and window guides, including trunk and hood seals. Trunk is finished with spare tire cover and includes some documentation as indicated in the pictures. Color matched steel fender skirts are also included with the car. This vehicle starts and drives excellent with strong, aggressive power band. I have shown this vehicle quite a few times across the state. It has been in local newspapers, has won awards as well as local acceleration tests with other classic car owners. Driving this car just plain gets attention. This Tempest weighs less that 3000lbs and was originally sold aside the Chevy II and Dodge Dart classes in the early 60's. GM produced this body in three versions; Pontiac Tempest, Buick Special and the Oldsmobile F85 with only the Tempest having the unique Zora Duntov designed front engine, rear transaxle arrangement. I have driven a few thousand miles on this restoration, but have maintained its cleanliness. The drivers seat, door handles and generally those areas that are touched, tasted or felt have signs of use. There are rock chips in the rear quarters and on the fender skirts and very few bug chips on the front of the vehicle. My wife and I genuinely take care of all six of our classic cars but we also drive all of them and I maintain them mechanically. I will publicly post questions and responses that can help any bidder with this process. If you are interested in owning this vehicle, ask away. |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
