If you have been looking for a muscle car that is as POWERFUL, SAFE and RELIABLE then look no further. This 1967 Pontiac Tempest has been gone through mechanically from top to bottom and front to back. You are going to be getting essentially a NEW car in the skin of a 67 classic. Everything from the motor, transmission, rear end, brakes, suspension, steering, and cooling system are all new.

First lets start with the heart of the beast:

2001 LS1 motor that is putting down at least 450hp. The motor has been modified with an LS6 intake, MS4 cam, Titanium valve springs, 36lb injectors, Hedman Headers, ported throttle body, 85mm MAF, custom cold air intake, and a computer Tune by Texas Speed and Performance. Custom wiring harness. Motor has approx 110k miles, with about 6k miles with the modifications.
15 gallon fuel cell with sump. Bosch 044 fuel pump, corvette filter regulator. All braided stainless fuel line with 6AN fittings.
New radiator with 2001 Camaro electric fans
Custom 3" exhaust with cutouts dumping into cherry bombs (its loud)

Backing up the motor:

Fully built TH400 that is good for around 900hp. It has a trans brake, full reverse manual valve body with race clutches to handle a hard launch and still be street able without issue.
Pro-matic II ratchet shifter
FTI 3800 stall converter with anti-balloon (if you want to run nitrous) - good for repeated launches in the 850hp range.
10 bolt rear end fully built with 3.73 gears, Yukon Axles, Eaton Posi Unit

Suspension, Brakes, and Steering:

All new front and rear upper lower control arms (boxed in the rear) with new bushings
New Hotchkis front and rear springs (lower front about 1.5" and rear about 1")
New KYB Adjustable shocks
Front Disc brake conversion (300 miles on them now) with a power brake booster and Disc/Drum proportioning valve
New Rear Drum Brakes (about 600 miles on them)
New steering center link, idler arm with all new ball joints/bushings
Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box (12 to 1 ratio, WAY tighter than the old 16 to 1 original box)

Wheels and Tires:

Nitto NT55R drag radials on Rally wheels (15") - Biggest size I could stuff under there

Interior:

Excellent condition front and rear seats, no tears/rips or any wear for that matter. Like brand new
Carpet is in good shape
New headliner, no rips/tears
Aftermarket stereo that looks stock but has iPod hookup in front (from Crutchfield)
Tach mounted in stock clock location
OBD-II port (I use an adapter that works with my phone for the Torque app)

As you can see the car has been gone through, only things I think are left to do is eventually put new Dakota Digital gauges in the stock location, and replace the rubber around the windows (I have the rubber and it will go with the car).

GOOD LUCK BIDDING - FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!!!!

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
