1966 Pontiac Tempest Custom Project Car Rolling Chassis on 2040-cars
Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
Hi. I've got a 66 Pontiac Tempest Custom for sale. It has no motor, transmission or interior. It has a lot of the chrome trim in the trunk. The silver part of the car is a vinyl wrap to preserve the body, I'm guessing. The rest of it is primer with very little rust. The only piece I'd replace is the piece that goes from the trunk to the back window. I saw that piece for about $110 here on Ebay from Tamraz. I also saw the back panel piece to change it to a GTO tail section for about $350. I think it's set-up for a Chevy engine but I'm not 100% sure on that. Place your highest bid because I may sell it even if the reserve is not met. Any questions call Gilbert at 361-813-9583 or email me at gmorin@stx.rr.com. The car is in Corpus Christi, Texas. I'd be willing to haul it to Houston or San Antonio for a fee. Thanks for looking.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

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.
