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!

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending 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.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
