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.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon

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.
