Super clean 1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom.  Basically an original bone stock survivor car, original drivetrain and interior in fantastic condition! Originally a Florida car which soon moved to Oregon, it is rock solid and has no serious rust issues.  Car collectors call cars from Oregon "Oregon Gold" since they are not subject to winter road salt or extreme sunny hot temperatures.

Features:
High Line factory "Custom" package includes lots of chrome trim and upgrades.
Power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning.
4 door body style, great for the whole family.  HUGE trunk ideal for luggage, shopping trips, tailgate parties or the mother-in-law ;)
Classic gold interior and headliner looks fantastic!  Interior is 97% original and like new condition.  Newer Alpine stereo with Sirius radio!>
Original 326 V8 with 2 barrel Rochester carb and automatic transmission, runs great on regular gas and gets a very decent 20+ mpg highway!
Pontiac Rally II wheels and the white letter tires have deep tread like new.  Spare tire in the trunk is new.  Odometer presently reads "08799.0", so we feel safe to say it has 108, 799 miles and 0/10ths on it.  The engine numbers (heads, block) do match the production year and shows no sign of ever being removed, rebuilt or "hot rodded".  It's pretty much a bone stock orginal 326 Pontiac V8.  Muffler is new and similar to a Flow-Master, quiet but a nice low throaty V8 tone.

This car is a great driver and lots of fun.  It's not a pristine show car, but it is a very clean daily driver.  We take it to the drive-in movies, car shows, shopping trips, church and Sunday breakfast out, beach trips, the 4th of July fireworks and even the occasional commute to work.  Very reliable!  Ready for a coast to coast road trip right now, just turn the key and go.  It's an old car with lots of room under the hood so it is easy to work on for routine service like oil changes and tune ups.

Like all older cars, there are a few things you probably want to be aware of:
The car has factory installed Air Conditioning and it does work but it eventually leaks down on freon.  Probably needs a new compressor (about $250-$350).
The paint is beautiful in an old car kind of way.  It does have that nice aged patina and warm golden glow only a vintage car can have.  It also has it's share of scratches and dings.  Instead of going with a new paint job, we decided to keep the original paint and had her pinstriped by the legendary striper Big Chris in 2011.  Looks sharp and gets lots of compliments and "thumbs up" when driving.

Please contact me if you'd like to see the car in person for a test drive, need more pictures, info etc.  Thanks for looking!

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR 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.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac Grand Am LE with Quad 4 Engine

Wed, May 9 2018

GM introduced the N-Body compact platform with the Oldsmobile Calais and Pontiac Grand Am for the 1985 model year and continued building N-based cars through 1998. Most of these cars weren't interesting from an enthusiast standpoint, but a handful rolled off the assembly line with raucous DOHC Oldsmobile Quad 4 engines and manual transmissions, and those cars were plenty of fun. Here's a 1991 Grand Am with that rare setup, photographed in a self-service yard in California's Central Valley. The base engine in the 1991 Grand Am was the 110-horsepower, 2.5-liter pushrod Iron Duke, an engine that might have been fine on a Romanian tractor in 1953 but had no place on an American street car as the 21st century approached. Fortunately, GM started bolting the modern 2.3-liter DOHC Quad 4 engine into 1988 cars, and this was a proper four-cylinder. The Quad 4 ran a little rough and uncivilized, and it had its share of reliability problems, but you could rev the piss out of it and it made good power. In 1991, this engine was rated at 180 hp. That made this 2,592-pound sedan pretty quick. Unfortunately, the slushboxization of America had progressed with depressing rapidity during the 1980s, and by 1991 most Grand Am buyers — even the ones who opted for the Quad 4 — chose the automatic transmission. That didn't happen with this car, though — it boasts a rugged Getrag 5-speed instead of the happiness-amputating three-speed automatic. Yes, that's the kind of odometer reading you'd expect to see on an Accord or Maxima from this era. Someone loved this car and took care of it. Here we see an interesting mix of 1980s and 1990s car-radio technology. CD players in cars were still costly luxury items in 1991, seldom seen in affordable cars like the Grand Am, while 1980s-style slider-style EQ controls were on the way out. This Delco unit straddles both decades nicely. I seek out Quad 4-equipped cars during my junkyard travels, and I have photographed quite a few: this '89 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Grand Am, this '91 Quad 442, this '93 Achieva SCX, and this '98 Cavalier Z24. It's a shame that Buick never put the Quad 4 in the Reatta, which was a fine car ruined by a somnolent and obsolete V6. The music in this ad is even more early-1990s than Crystal Pepsi.

Classic Pontiac Trans Am Firebird Super Duty 455 sells for nearly $90,000

Fri, Aug 25 2023

Historically, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am raised the performance levels a notch or two over a plain Firebird in the muscle car hierarchy of the Sixties. But the Super Duty 455 version of the Trans Am — that number represents the cubic inches of the hand-assembled V8 engine — moved the performance needle big time in 1974. So much so that a clean example of the machine sold recently on the Hagerty Marketplace auction site for $89,296. Advertised with just under 54,000 miles on the clock and having undergone a thorough restoration, the Buccaneer Red model was one of just 943 Pontiac Firebirds equipped with the Super Duty 455 package for the 1974 model year. That build had also been offered in 1973. The Hagerty listing drew more than 21,000 views and 39 bids. According to Hagerty's valuation report, a similar car would be worth $85,700 in good condition, and $103,000 if it was in ‘“concours condition.” The Super Duty motor borrowed technology from the lineÂ’s 366-cubic-inch NASCAR engine, and featured heavy-duty connecting rods and an entirely new block with a revised crankshaft and heads to deliver a claimed 310 horsepower. The Firebird that sold was indeed loaded, with a three-speed Hydra-matic transmission (which surely reduced its overall value), power locks and windows, AC, dual exhausts, heavy duty stabilizer bars all around, and a “custom Interior trimmed in Red perforated Morrokide vinyl upholstery.” The entry of PontiacÂ’s pony car in the U.S., facing off against the Mustang and Camaro, dates back to 1967, when it was offered with an inline six and optional V8. The first Trans Ams were introduced two years later, the name derived from a handling package. General Motors ceased production of new Pontiacs in 2002 owing to declining sales and losing stakes in the sports coupe market. The big 455-cid V-8 had disappeared years earlier.
