If you have been looking for a muscle car that is as POWERFUL, SAFE and RELIABLE  then look no further.  This 1967 Pontiac Tempest has been gone through mechanically from top to bottom and front to back.  You are going to be getting essentially a NEW car in the skin of a 67 classic.  Everything from the motor, transmission, rear end, brakes, suspension, steering, and cooling system are all new.

First lets start with the heart of the beast:
  • 2001 LS1 motor that is putting down at least 450hp.  The motor has been modified with an LS6 intake, MS4 cam, Titanium valve springs, 36lb injectors, Hedman Headers, ported throttle body, 85mm MAF, custom cold air intake, and a computer Tune by Texas Speed and Performance.  Custom wiring harness.  Motor has approx 110k miles, with about 6k miles with the modifications.
  • 15 gallon fuel cell with sump.  Bosch 044 fuel pump, corvette filter regulator.  All braided stainless fuel line with 6AN fittings.
  • New radiator with 2001 Camaro electric fans
  • Custom 3" exhaust with cutouts dumping into cherry bombs  (its loud)

Backing up the motor:
  • Fully built TH400 that is good for around 900hp.  It has a trans brake, full reverse manual valve body with race clutches to handle a hard launch and still be street able without issue.  
  • Pro-matic II ratchet shifter
  • FTI 3800 stall converter with anti-balloon (if you want to run nitrous) - good for repeated launches in the 850hp range.  
  • 10 bolt rear end fully built with 3.73 gears, Yukon Axles, Eaton Posi Unit

Suspension, Brakes, and Steering:
  • All new front and rear upper lower control arms (boxed in the rear) with new bushings
  • New Hotchkis front and rear springs (lower front about 1.5" and rear about 1")
  • New KYB Adjustable shocks 
  • Front Disc brake conversion (300 miles on them now) with a power brake booster and Disc/Drum proportioning valve
  • New Rear Drum Brakes (about 600 miles on them)
  • New steering center link, idler arm with all new ball joints/bushings
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box (12 to 1 ratio, WAY tighter than the old 16 to 1 original box)

Wheels and Tires:
  • Nitto NT55R drag radials on Rally wheels (15") - Biggest size I could stuff under there
Interior:
  • Excellent condition front and rear seats, no tears/rips or any wear for that matter.  Like brand new
  • Carpet is in good shape
  • New headliner, no rips/tears
  • Aftermarket stereo that looks stock but has iPod hookup in front (from Crutchfield)
  • Tach mounted in stock clock location
  • OBD-II port (I use an adapter that works with my phone for the Torque app)

As you can see the car has been gone through, only things I think are left to do is eventually put new Dakota Digital gauges in the stock location, and replace the rubber around the windows (I have the rubber and it will go with the car).

 GOOD LUCK BIDDING -  FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!!!!

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird

Sat, May 9 2020

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition

Tue, Aug 29 2017

The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk

Tue, Oct 27 2015

General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.
