1967 Pontiac Tempest Ls1 Swap Built Th400 Disc Brakes Perfect on 2040-cars
Merced, California, United States
I'm selling my baby that I have built over the past 2 years. 1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom that has an LS1 motor and a fully built TH400. This car flat out hauls ass but it is reliable and can even be a daily driver (I use it as a 2-3x/wk car 20 miles or more a day). The car itself is in great shape, drives, stops and turns like a modern car. It is the kind of car you can drive to work and then take to the car show the same day. Very fun car, scary fast. But also as reliable and safe as a new car. Car is a mid 11 second car and with a little nitrous it would easily be in the 10's. With the OBD2 port and the android Torque app you can monitor all engine data real time on a phone or tablet.
The motor: 2001 LS1 with about 110,000 miles. Approx 2000 miles on motor with modifications.
The transmission: Fully built TH400 (about 300 miles on it)
The suspension/brakes:
Rear End: about 1500 miles on it
Tires/wheels:

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
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.
