1965 PONTIAC TEMPEST POST COUPE 4 SPEED

I am the 3rd owner of this very solid Midwest car. I have owned this Fontaine Blue base model Tempest for almost 10 years. The Tempest originated in Colorado, then South Dakota. The previous owner drove it from SD to NJ in which it now resides. The car retains all its original sheet metal. The original 6 cyl engine was replaced with a 1966 OHC 230 with a Sprint 4bbl intake & carb along with a custom dual exhaust – No Y- pipe.
The three on the tree was upgraded to a Saginaw 4 on the floor. This upgrade included a new steering column to get rid of the nub from the column shift. I upgraded the power steering box to a mid 80’s Monte Carlo SS quick ratio box for modern road feel. A great improvement! All GM parts were used for all upgrades including 1965 GTO front & rear sway bars & 5 blade radiator fan.
This car has been well maintained all its life. The 12+ year old paint job is showing its age with a few bumps & bruises. The front bumper has been triple chrome plated. The rear bumper is original – notice no back up lights… an option for 1965. This car gets plenty of attention wherever it goes.
The Tempest sports 225/70/R14 Firestone Daytona 500 Radials on the original 14x6 Steel Wheels for a very comfortable ride. It handles great, even with 4 wheel drum brakes. Awesome drivability is achieved with a 3.08 open rear & Manual Trans.
The Interior is in very good shape. I had the original AM factory Delco radio converted to AM/FM with an input to use my ipod so I can listen to some good tunes while rowing through the gears. The Tempest has the original rubber floor mat – The base model did not come with carpet. The door panel speakers were installed by the previous owner. Dash pad was replaced and Temp gauge was added.
This summer the Tempest received a new front windshield. To my surprise the window channel was not rusted out – another benefit from residing 38+years in the mid west. This car has been a pleasure to own & drive.
Why am I selling? I used to drive my car about 3 times a week when the weather was nice to and from work. I now work in NYC and commute by train. It’s time to let someone else enjoy this beautiful Pontiac. Would you like to be the 4th owner? Any questions or to schedule a test drive – feel free to contact me. Thanks for looking.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver

Wed, Feb 13 2019

Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
