1964 Pontiac Tempest Custom Two-owner Solid Ca. Car on 2040-cars
Boxford, Massachusetts, United States
|
This is a two owner California car. The car was stored inside for a long time. It has beautiful sheetmetal. The floors are extremely clean with no undercoating ever. It has all of its original sheetmetal. I changed all the fluids and filters including the differential. I tuned the engine completely and properly ( I am a mechanic 63 years old, and I know Pontiacs). I cleaned the fuel system and rebuilt the original carberator. I replaced the alternator, ignition wires, battery. The car runs super nice, even the automatic choke works properly. The car is so clean, structurely speaking you can still see the assembly line chalk markings on the firewall. Sale includes all the original documents from new. Protecto-plate, the actual window sticker, warrantee booklet, etc. The brakes work great, the transmission shifts fine. It really is a well preserved original unmolested 2-door post car. The drivetrain is original and includes the optional 326 V-8 and 2-speed automatic transmission. Car does have power steering. The car is mostly ORIGINAL paint, faded lacquer from 1964. Color is a very pretty baby blue when not faded. The trunk was surface rusted but SOLID as in NO rust thru. I por15 treated the trunk floor. Lower rear quarters are perfect, all the original factory spotwelds. The car has some dents. Nothing major. Interior is quite nice with padded dash. Everything works as it should. Use as is, or refinish. The left front fender molding is scraped up, I have a decent one. Also have new GM restoration trunk weatherstrip, and right tail lens. I purchased the car in California last year. Have the California title. Really nice sound car, not perfect, not restored, but nice to enjoy, turn key car.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
