1965 Pontiac Tempest Convertible Wih All The Gto Trim And More. Gto Conversion. on 2040-cars
Freeport, Maine, United States
|
1965 Tempest convertible with the original 326 - 2bbl carb in tact backed by the original 2 speed automatic transmission. The motor runs but does have a ticking sound coming from the lifters and also a noise coming from the flywheel which has been diagnosed as a loose flywheel bolt. I have the original air cleaner not shown which completes the original motor setup. I also have a 1965 421 - 338hp engine complete with a matching turbo 400 transmission which goes with the car. This motor was a running motor and comes with many of the accessories still on the motor such as the power steering pump, alternater, water pump, fan, starter, etc. The intent for the car was to convert it to a GTO trim package and add the 421 as the power source. The car already has OEM GTO front grills, OEM GTO hood, OEM GTO passenger grab bar, OEM chrome dash bezels, OEM radio, OEM bucket seats, OEM center console (not in car), new aftermarket taillights, new after market headlight bezels, OEM Ralley wheels and more. I have new in the trunk a new in the box Harrision radiator, all new aftermarket GTO emblems for the exterior, new in the box front and rear door panels, new door arm rests covers in black and chrome along with a buncj of other new items.... Now for the good news, the car is an original Texas vehicle and the frame, floor boards, rockers, body mounts etc are rock solid. I had the carpet out before it was repainted and the boards are incredible. You cant find better. The only body work in the form of new metal were a couple of spots above the rear wheels which were done in a very professional manner. There are three holes in the left rear quarter from someone prior to me making holes for the wrong GTO emblems, ugh! Trunk is beautiful. This car might be in Maine but it is not a northern car at all. This would be a great project for someone who wanted to make a GTO tribute with a kick butt motor. I have all the specs on the 421. The paint is fresh and it is regimental red. New bucket seats, new rear seats, Convertible top is all there but should be replaced to be prefect. It is a manual top which I love it. Call with questions. |

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.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
