1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom Two-owner Solid Ca. Car on 2040-cars
Boxford, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a two owner California car. The car was stored inside for a long time. It has beautiful sheetmetal. The floors are extremely clean with no undercoating ever. It has all of its original sheetmetal. I changed all the fluids and filters including the differential. I tuned the engine completely and properly ( I am a mechanic 63 years old, and I know Pontiacs). I cleaned the fuel system and rebuilt the original carberator. I replaced the alternator, ignition wires, battery. The car runs super nice, even the automatic choke works properly. The car is so clean, structurely speaking you can still see the assembly line chalk markings on the firewall. Sale includes all the original documents from new. Protecto-plate, the actual window sticker, warrantee booklet, etc. The brakes work great, the transmission shifts fine. It really is a well preserved original unmolested 2-door post car. The drivetrain is original and includes the optional 326 V-8 and 2-speed automatic transmission. Car does have power steering. The car is mostly ORIGINAL paint, faded lacquer from 1964. Color is a very pretty baby blue when not faded. The trunk was surface rusted but SOLID as in NO rust thru. I por15 treated the trunk floor. Lower rear quarters are perfect, all the original factory spotwelds. The car has some dents. Nothing major. Interior is quite nice with padded dash. Everything works as it should. Use as is, or refinish. The left front fender molding is scraped up, I have a decent one. Also have new GM restoration trunk weatherstrip, and right tail lens. I purchased the car in California last year. Have the California title. Really nice sound car, not perfect, not restored, but nice to enjoy, turn key car.

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.
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.
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.
