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!

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile

Thu, Mar 26 2015

So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."

Porsche Syberia RS rally car is what you make when you need a Hummer that's fast

Fri, Apr 24 2020

Some history: The Porsche 911's first-ever race was the 1965 Monte Carlo rally, entered because Porsche's PR man at the time wanted to show how much the future icon could do. A year later, Porsche began selling an optional rally kit for the 911 that included Recaro seats, a roll bar, and adjustable Koni dampers. Porsche produced factory rally racers until the early 1970s, winning Monte Carlo three times in a row before letting privateers carry the torch so the factory could focus on campaigning in the East Africa Safari. After years of painful lessons, when Porsche took its brand-new 1978 911 SC to the safari, the 3.0-liter flat-six coupe was hours away from winning the race before damaging the suspension, demoting the car to second place. Porsche fans wanted their own replicas, and finding the new 911 to be an affordable option, the SC — built from 1978 to 1983 — went from denoting "Super Carrera" to "Safari Car."   Porsche took a big step up in with the 953 rally car. Built to win the 1984 Paris-Dakar, which it did, the 953 introduced the four-wheel-drive system Porsche would evolve for the 959 in 1985 and the 964-series 911 in 1989, as well as the now-unforgettable 911-based Rothmans livery. All of this is what's fueling today's 911 Safari Car revival around the world. Almost all of today's builds start with the so-called G Model 911s, produced from 1973 to 1989, usually focusing on the SC and the Carrera that ran from 1984 until 1989.  Fast forward to 2007 when a mysterious crew organized the TransSyberia Rally, a "sports-touring" event that stretched 4,500 miles from Moscow to the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. Of the 34 vehicles that entered, 25 were Porsche's purpose-built Cayenne S Transsyberia Edition.  Put this all in a pot and you have the beginnings of the car that brings us here, the Syberia RS. It's said that a German fellow by the name of Kai Burkhard wanted to buy a Humvee, but the low top speed, around 50 miles per hour, put him off. So instead, he imported a 1986 911 "in collector condition" from Japan with the idea of rebuilding it to provide almost all the off-road fun he could have had in the H1. Burkhard tapped the Tailor Made department at German suspension designer H&R, and the two set to work creating a build like the 953 Dakar winner.  This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.  The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.  For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
