This is a pretty nice two owner 1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom station wagon. It has few options. Power steering and brakes. Tinted glass. Remote drivers side mirror. Optional dome light with map reading lamp. Power rear window and the 326 two barrel engine with the two speed transmission. It has been sitting in a garage for the last 12 years. I tuned it, lubed the cylinders, changed the fluids and it fired right up. It runs and shifts perfectly. It had a little lifter noise at first and went away after it warmed. It runs and drives great.
Everything works too. The turn signals (although it needs a new switch). Brake lights, headlights, back up lights, heater, horn, speedometer, back window. All great. Probably the neatest thing is that the paint is the factory paint. No touch ups so what you see is the real California metal. No rust issues at all. All the bright work is near perfect. Grills are super straight and all the custom side trim too. The interior shows age and there are splits in the seams of the seats but still very repairable. While the body is super straight there have been holes drilled to pull out dents the old fashion way. Probably done years ago. These are seen in some of the photos. .
If you would like to see and drive the car, I am about 18 miles east of Sacramento up highway 80 towards Reno. Call Bruce at 916-652-6852 weekdays if you have questions or need more photos. I am having trouble loading pictures so please ask and I can email them to you.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
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.
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.
