Any Pontiac Fans here?

I've only seen a couple of these cars, but never seen the "Slant 4" engine. Wild huh? It's actually HALF a 389 Pontiac. It isn't running at the moment, been in a barn for the last 30 years. This ones for sale with a Hd top parts car if anyone here is interested. Car is VERY solid for a Convert. Located in Va. It's a 1962 Pontiac Tempest/Le mans. $3500.00 firm for BOTH cars.

Wild, never heard of or seen one before! Cool!

Never seen one of those either.  Cool find!  Here's my Poncho.

I used to have one of those.  What a nightmare. Look at the transmission.  It does not bolt to the motor.  It is independent. 

[Talkwrench]

Mm 'tis a strange beast.
One for Magnentic, since I see he has a Aussie Commodore . Heres our version .

  Man, I wish I was ready for another project. That looks like a great one to start with!

By the way.... Is that poo on the decklid?

By the way.... Is that poo on the decklid? 

I was wondering the same thing! 

Pretty cool never seen that motor before

My mother-in-law had a Pontiac with the slant 4.  What a piece of crap and it wasn't just on the trunk lid.  PK

Yeah, I've seen them. They had a flexible drive shaft that went back to the transaxle and a 2 speed converter if memory serves. Weird little things and Buick or Olds made an example, too. Typical Pontiac of the 60's in that the interior wears like a pigs nose as the old man used to say. Put in the rest of that 389 and she'd be a killer sleeper. Not a bad price for 2 cars, just no room, money nor ambition!

Yeah, I'm a closet Poncho fan.    We had a few Pontiacs when I was younger, 2 gen 2 Trans Ams, '74 Bonneville.  Wouldn't mind a gen 2 trans am...

That engine really does look like half a 389! Never saw that before.

Did those cars have independent rear suspension?  Is this the car they talked about in the movie,  "My cousin Vinny"?

OK, guys don't get mad at me , but I've been and still am a Chrysler guy all my life. But in Sept 2003 I bought this new for my wife. It sits in the garage with only 9,200 miles and never been rained on. I think the tires have flat spots on them and I keep a battery tender on it...
Why? I don't know

Pontiac stopped making cars in 1981....

A buddy of mine has one of those 4cy Tempests. Over half a million miles on it and still going strong. He drove it to the Pontiac nationals in Ohio this year. (from Arizona)
No breakdowns, no problems at all.

Thanks, Holden!  I was watching a bit of V8 Supercars this afternoon.  Please send me a Maloo for Christmas.  Lots of Aussies over on G8Board.com!

i wonder if they could have got it to work with only 3 cylinders.

[Super Blue 72]

Didn't Geo Metros have 3 cylinders?
