Here is a 1965 Tempest Custom convertible that has only 33,000 miles on it and was given a complete restoration, Frame off, everything is new or rebuilt, Original Mayfair Maize with Gold /brown interior,The interior is in amazing condition, New carpet and Seat covers made the interior look so Crisp!!New weatherstrip and sill plates, everything works, Have PHS doc's and was as you see it but with full hubcaps which come with the car, I preferred the dog dish caps and painted wheel look This car runs and drives like a new one!! I would drive it anywhere. Has optional custom seat belts, reverse lamps and power steering. During the restoration nothing was left untouched. The car was in very low mileage original condition so all the original trim and moldings are it awesome shape and were polished nicely. The paint is cut and buffed to a very nice finish, The bottom of the car was completely stripped and finished also, After body was blasted any repairs needed were professionally done and finished, Minimal repair was needed on the floor pan and behind rear tire on lower quarters, The frame was also blasted and refinished and has no visible rust anywhere. All new suspension , brake system fuel system ,The original 326 was set aside and a Real!! 1967 GTO "WS" 360Hp engine It is dated L-15-66 and was completely overhauled with all new internals and a "068" Camshaft. and "670" heads It is mated to the original 2 speed powerglide transmission.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
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.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
