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! |

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 repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
