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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation 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.
