In 1964 John DeLorean wanted to build a car that would speak to the America's youth. General Motors had strict rules that big engines couldn't go into small cars. To circumvent GM's policies, DeLorean secretly worked on a performance package for the Pontiac Tempest LeMans which ultimately released to the public as the GTO, or 'Gran Turismo Omologato' option. Expecting to sell less than 5,000 units, the Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO broke all the rules, captivated American buyers, and sold a whopping 35,000 units in their first year of production. What Pontiac didn't know then, is that DeLorean's GTO option started the American Muscle Car movement that continues to thrive today.
In this episode we'll look at fully restored 1964 Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO which was resurrected from rust into an eye-catching automotive marvel. To start things off, Master Body Technician, Rene, will walk us through how he brought back to life a rusted and forgotten piece of history to be admired in modern times. Then we'll jump in the passenger's seat and hear from the car's proud owner, Philip, who will share his story on what it was like to go through four years of restoration as well as what this car means to him and his family.
Pontiac purist be warned, this restore is not all stock. It features an Chevrolet LS2 engine, Magnaflow exhaust, 2006 Pontiac GTO transmission, upgraded coil-overs, disc breaks, and other performance enhancements. Quite simply, this is one mean machine that earns it's title as "the Franken Goat".
