1963 Pontiac Tempest Convertible, 82,000 Garage Kept Miles on 2040-cars
Discovery Bay, California, United States
I bought this Pontiac about 10 years ago and it has been parked in my warehouse ever since. If you look at the odometer photo and then look at the original title I received with the car, you will see that it has been driven exactly 70 miles in the past ten years. We make a point of starting the car frequently and driving it to the store or Post Office, in order to keep it in good running condition. It starts right up and drives extremely well. This Pontiac Tempest is a very collectable car, as it was only manufactured for one model year. It was referred to as the "baby GTO" The interior appears to be all original, including top, upholstory, door panels and carpet. I can't tell if the car has been repainted or not, but if it has, they did a fantastic job. It has its original motor and transmission and there is absolutely no evidence of the motor ever being apart. It also has its original Pontiac Tempest wheel covers, original spare wheel, original GM washer bottle under the hood and original trunk mat, along with service manuals. As you may remember, the 63 Tempest came either with a 326 ci V8 engine, or the half 326 four cylinder, with rear automatic trans axle. This car is a 4 cylinder automatic, with power steering and power top. It has its original AM Radio and it works. The back window in the convt top is foggy and I decided not to change it, because it is the original window. If you decide to change it, they are zippored and cost about $150.00 to replace. There is nothing wrong with the car, it runs and drives great and it turns heads everywhere we take it. We used it in two local parades and it drew a nice crowd. These cars will do nothing but go up in value over the next few years. There are very few left in running condition, especially convertibles. If you're looking for a car you can put away, drive once in a while and then make a profit on when you get ready to sell it, this is the car. The miles are documented at 82,183. I do ask that you please DO NOT bid on this auction if you don't have funds available to pay for the car. If the winning bidder needs to arrange shipping, I will be glad to store the car in my warehouse for up to 30 days while you line up a transporter. If you have any questions about the car, feel free to send me an email, or give me a call at (925) 437-4701. I am located in northern California, about an hour from San Francisco.

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.
Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan
Tue, Feb 7 2017During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.

700 horsepower Porsche GT2 RS is the wildest 911 ever
Fri, Jun 30 2017The Porsche 911 comes in a variety of flavors, each filling a certain taste for a certain customer. Sitting atop the range is the new 911 GT2 RS. In previous generations, the GT2 had a bit of a reputation as a widowmaker, a 911 with massive power that could snap and bite with the slightest agitation. Porsche says the new model has been civilized, but with 700 horsepower going to the rear wheels, we're sure it's going to be as mad as ever. Power comes from a highly massaged version of the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Turbo S. The rear-mounted engine makes an outrageous 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Like we previously reported, the new car will use water injection to help keep things cool. The only transmission is Porsche's PDK. While enthusiasts may lament the loss of the manual, the RS models have always been about performance above all else. Simply put, the PDK is the better performance option. All that power translates to a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The engine makes 80 more horsepower than the previous model. That makes it the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. In fact, the 887 horsepower 918 Spyder is the only road-going Porsche that makes more power. The fact that Porsche trusts all of that power to go to the rear is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. In order to manage traction, the GT2 RS gets a number of upgrades. Rear-wheel steering has become commonplace in the 911 lineup, so it's no surprise to see it here. Sticky tires with 265/35 ZR 20 section rubber at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 section rubber at the rear keep things planted. That comically large rear wing adds downforce, adding to stability. The car gets standard carbon ceramic brakes. While some people prefer traditional rotors for the street, like the PDK, this is all about performance. A number of intakes and outlets complement the rear wing and maximize aerodynamic efficiency. It's a bit of a surprise that with all the focus on downforce, the GT2 RS still manages to top out at 211 mph. The hood, front wings, wheel housing vents, door mirrors, side air intakes, parts of the rear end, and a number of interior components are all made from carbon fiber. The roof has been made of magnesium. If you want to drop any pretense of civility and comfort in the pursuit of speed, Porsche is offering a Weissach package that shaves off another 40 pounds from the already impressive wet weight of 3,241.
