1967 Pontiac Tempest Gto Clone on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
Clear Nebraska title. Drive it home this weekend. Arizona car - - sat for 19 years. Trailered up here from Tucson and has been in middle America for 18 months. A blast to drive. Alas, 3 kids in college next fall and a full driveway.
Sheet metal is surprisingly good for a car almost 50 years old: trunk - - very good. Interior floor - - some rust through on driver's floor. Rear quarters - - A OK. Rockers - - A OK. 326 V-8 in the car when it came north ... that engine died on the way to a regional car show. Now the car has a fresh, machine-shop rebuilt Pontiac 400. Some mild performance parts were added: gear timing, mild cam, Holley carb, high-rise Edelbrock manifold, W-2 heads, distributor, stainless mufflers. Also new gas tank, rear shocks, wiper motor. As you've noticed, car has a GTO hood. Arizona car, so it once had air conditioning (AC parts no longer around). Dash pad tells the story that this buggy sat in the sun. Headliner is gone. Rear bench seat back - - upholstery deteriorated and removed, although the seat frame is here. I think all exterior chrome is here but I haven't ordered new clips yet to install it. At some point you will want to have the rear window channel blasted. You can see a couple thumb-sized holes in driver side "flying buttress." Tires are good. I like the mid-60's Pontiacs and that classic coke-bottle A-body. But sometimes it seems to me that the cars available for sale are either restored trailer-queens with pricetags in the stratosphere ... or rusted out and need 9 pieces of sheet metal. Then there are many for sale that are "almost ready" but just need ____________. Or they are 2000 miles away from me. So here's a road-ready car that you can drive all summer and work on next winter. You could leave it as is for 5-10 years. You need nothing to drive it the rest of the summer. The front end is good and steering is tight. The brakes are good. The car downright flies when you step on it, and man, what a rumble (the shop welded Harley-Davidson chrome tips on for a little fun). If you don't want people looking up when you rumble through an intersection, this car is not for you. Gauges are not working. Aftermarket under dash double gauge does work. There is evidence of some bondo on driver's side upper rear quarter panel, but no dent is evident from inside the trunk so it does not seem to be deep. I have tried to represent this car honestly and will answer any questions or take any pictures you ask for. I hope that some will agree the price is fair. This car is a builder, but they're not making any more of these. Car is right in middle of the USA at the crossroads of I-80 and I-29. I've worked for a decade to have a 100% eBay feedback rating, so don't bid if you don't have the cash right now. $1000 PayPal down payment within 24 hours. Price starts at $8500. Enjoy the pics (I'll add a couple more this weekend). Thanks for looking - - good hunting! |

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.
Driving Notes
GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes
Sat, Jun 20 2015General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.
Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6
Sat, Sep 12 2020What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.
