Low Reserve.....! Hello, up for sale is my Absolutely beautiful 1969 Tempest/Lemans "GTO" Tribute Car. Hopefully the pictures I've taken of the car illustrate just how nice the car is. This is an original California Car, built in Fremont Ca. And sold to its first owner in Hawthorne Ca. I bought the car from the 3rd owner here in Central California. Note, all previous owners took outstanding care of this car and I have the original Protect-O-Plate, maintenance receipts, original Manuals and Pontiac Warranty Card which help demonstrate. After reviewing all the information (Maintenance Receipts), that came with the car I believe it to be an original 85,000 mile car.

This is truly a one of a kind Resto'mod, this is a 69' Tempest/Lemans that has several of the GTO features added to it, such as the GTO Hood, 455 Pontiac Motor, Muncie 4-speed Transmission. "This is a complete ground up restoration", the entire suspension has been upgraded, new spring, shocks, bushing, control arms, front and rear sway bars and front disc brake conversion. The engine is a 4-bolt main 455, block number "9799140" that's been rebuilt and rated at approximately 370 horsepower. The 4-speed Muncie Transmission is new, to include new clutch and Hurst Shifter. Under the hood you'll find brushed aluminum pulleys, hood hinges, brake master cylinder, M/T valve covers, alternator, and power steering pump. You'll also find a MSD ignition, 4-core aluminum radiator, and double electric fans. 4-barrel carburetor, and Hooker Headers. All the work done on this car was done professionally, with every aspect thought out and planned carefully.

The interior of the Car has been completely redone, new after market gauges. It has black carpeting, dash, door panels, and headliner. The seats are done in vinyl, charcoal grey with medium grey ported inserts. The exterior paint color, Med. Grey Metallic coordinates very well with the interior and gets constant complements wherever I go.

The exhaust is new and sounds great. It has chrome exhaust tips added. The Stainless Steel gas tank is new also. All the interior gauges work, as do all lights and wipers. It has the factory radio in place, however it doesn't have speakers installed. The car has no leaks.

I'm sure I've failed to mention some other characteristics of the car but hopefully you get the general idea of this car's overall great condition. This car more than just competes with true GTO's of the same era, in my opinion it blows away many of them. This is an opportunity to own a 455, 4-speed GTO tribute car for a fraction of the cost of a true GTO. There's no way for me to recoup all the time and money that's gone into this car but I'm ready to sale. I'm motivated to sell so I'll consider all reasonable offers. The car is being sold as is with no warranty given or implied, I have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end the listing early if a qualified offer is received. You can call me for more questions, or offers thanks, Billy 661-340-3497.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
