1967 Pontiac Tempest 2 door hardtop. This is not a GTO but it sure would make a great Tribute car. Barn finds are hard to find but ones like this are impossible. I bought this from a guy who told me he bought this car from the family of the original owner. It was parked in 1983 because the transmission went out. He had a local shop rebuild the transmission. It was stored inside all those years you will see rusty places on top of the body this is where the car was covered with blankets for 30 years. There is some rust in the lower rear quarter panels behind the mouling. This car is all original paint except the right quarter panel she must have backed into something and you can see inside the trunk where it was repaired. All original panels are on this car still has numbers stamped in the top of the inner quarters. The interior is in very good shape for its age does have a hole the size of a half dollar in the headliner. The tires were put new on this car feb. 1983 the sticker from sears is still on the trunklid. The car shows 43000 miles id say its rolled over before title says exceeds mechanicl limits. Have owners book and protecto plate shows where it was sold 6 21 1967 at Roberts Pontiac in Benton Ky. you will see a few dents the worst is the right door I have a really nice door that goes with it but id fix the one on the car myself. Ive only driven this car 10 miles or so The gas gauge says full ive never put gas in it since ive got it so I dont know if that works or not but the gas does smell very old. I would not be scared to drive this car to the local interstate to help in pick up but id haul this car home due to the age of tires and fuel. I know the blinkers work but you have to hold the lever down. Heater and radio work dome lite works. It has 3 out of 4 original T3 headlites. OHc 6 cylinder engine runs good and has power steering. Manual drum brakes does drive good tires are bumpy of course. This is a very good original car that has just about become extinct. Great car to make a driver or restore or the ultimate GTO clone. Nice frame good floors good trunk. Still has original jack. Original wheels and poverty caps. No 0 feedback bidders allowed you must make a 250 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auctions end.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
