1965 Pontiac Tempest Convertible Wih All The Gto Trim And More. Gto Conversion. on 2040-cars
Freeport, Maine, United States
|
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. |

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
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.
