1967 Pontiac Tempest Gto Clone on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
|
Clear Nebraska title. Drive it home this weekend. Arizona car - - sat for 19 years. Trailered up here from Tucson and has been in middle America for 18 months. A blast to drive. Alas, 3 kids in college next fall and a full driveway.
Sheet metal is surprisingly good for a car almost 50 years old: trunk - - very good. Interior floor - - some rust through on driver's floor. Rear quarters - - A OK. Rockers - - A OK. 326 V-8 in the car when it came north ... that engine died on the way to a regional car show. Now the car has a fresh, machine-shop rebuilt Pontiac 400. Some mild performance parts were added: gear timing, mild cam, Holley carb, high-rise Edelbrock manifold, W-2 heads, distributor, stainless mufflers. Also new gas tank, rear shocks, wiper motor. As you've noticed, car has a GTO hood. Arizona car, so it once had air conditioning (AC parts no longer around). Dash pad tells the story that this buggy sat in the sun. Headliner is gone. Rear bench seat back - - upholstery deteriorated and removed, although the seat frame is here. I think all exterior chrome is here but I haven't ordered new clips yet to install it. At some point you will want to have the rear window channel blasted. You can see a couple thumb-sized holes in driver side "flying buttress." Tires are good. I like the mid-60's Pontiacs and that classic coke-bottle A-body. But sometimes it seems to me that the cars available for sale are either restored trailer-queens with pricetags in the stratosphere ... or rusted out and need 9 pieces of sheet metal. Then there are many for sale that are "almost ready" but just need ____________. Or they are 2000 miles away from me. So here's a road-ready car that you can drive all summer and work on next winter. You could leave it as is for 5-10 years. You need nothing to drive it the rest of the summer. The front end is good and steering is tight. The brakes are good. The car downright flies when you step on it, and man, what a rumble (the shop welded Harley-Davidson chrome tips on for a little fun). If you don't want people looking up when you rumble through an intersection, this car is not for you. Gauges are not working. Aftermarket under dash double gauge does work. There is evidence of some bondo on driver's side upper rear quarter panel, but no dent is evident from inside the trunk so it does not seem to be deep. I have tried to represent this car honestly and will answer any questions or take any pictures you ask for. I hope that some will agree the price is fair. This car is a builder, but they're not making any more of these. Car is right in middle of the USA at the crossroads of I-80 and I-29. I've worked for a decade to have a 100% eBay feedback rating, so don't bid if you don't have the cash right now. $1000 PayPal down payment within 24 hours. Price starts at $8500. Enjoy the pics (I'll add a couple more this weekend). Thanks for looking - - good hunting! |

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale
Fri, Dec 5 2014Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.
This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
