1965 Pontiac Tempest Convertible Wih All The Gto Trim And More. Gto Conversion. on 2040-cars
Freeport, Maine, United States
|
1965 Tempest convertible with the original 326 - 2bbl carb in tact backed by the original 2 speed automatic transmission. The motor runs but does have a ticking sound coming from the lifters and also a noise coming from the flywheel which has been diagnosed as a loose flywheel bolt. I have the original air cleaner not shown which completes the original motor setup. I also have a 1965 421 - 338hp engine complete with a matching turbo 400 transmission which goes with the car. This motor was a running motor and comes with many of the accessories still on the motor such as the power steering pump, alternater, water pump, fan, starter, etc. The intent for the car was to convert it to a GTO trim package and add the 421 as the power source. The car already has OEM GTO front grills, OEM GTO hood, OEM GTO passenger grab bar, OEM chrome dash bezels, OEM radio, OEM bucket seats, OEM center console (not in car), new aftermarket taillights, new after market headlight bezels, OEM Ralley wheels and more. I have new in the trunk a new in the box Harrision radiator, all new aftermarket GTO emblems for the exterior, new in the box front and rear door panels, new door arm rests covers in black and chrome along with a buncj of other new items.... Now for the good news, the car is an original Texas vehicle and the frame, floor boards, rockers, body mounts etc are rock solid. I had the carpet out before it was repainted and the boards are incredible. You cant find better. The only body work in the form of new metal were a couple of spots above the rear wheels which were done in a very professional manner. There are three holes in the left rear quarter from someone prior to me making holes for the wrong GTO emblems, ugh! Trunk is beautiful. This car might be in Maine but it is not a northern car at all. This would be a great project for someone who wanted to make a GTO tribute with a kick butt motor. I have all the specs on the 421. The paint is fresh and it is regimental red. New bucket seats, new rear seats, Convertible top is all there but should be replaced to be prefect. It is a manual top which I love it. Call with questions. |

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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
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.
