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! |

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
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.
