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.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
