Wow ! What a rare find .. A John DeLorean straight 6, with a factory 4 speed..
Yes very rare!
"You're gonna like this one" you had me at the thumbnail with this one
I know people are going to hate me , but this is cooler than a 389 with tripower .
4 speed? I'm in
The ' 67 Pontiac GTO and Tempest have always been my favorite cars, my dad used to work at a Pontiac dealership ( detailing) and I used to go after school and help him I was 13 -15 years old and it was exactly in that time period, oh man what great memories this video brought back Thanks a lot 🥲
she is a beauty! Back in the day if you cannot afford the extra $1,000 for a GTO you got yourself a tempest. FYI... The GTOs came with a single stripe red Tire. Thanks for sharing another treasure!
So pretty and all original she's a beaut.
WHOAH . That is one clean classic . . Exactly how they should be . . Straight and Clean . . Keep them coming jay . You don't know how lucky you all are , to have so much of your surviving motoring heritage still around . . Not a great deal left in GB that's for sure very few and far between over here , like hen's teeth . . . Keep up the excellent work and content . . Keep finding the classics , top man . 👍 . Fill the yard with all old classics . .
I got my license in 1980, I was 17. Like most kids I didn’t have a car. Not sure what happened, but we were visiting a family friend when an argument ensued with my mom about needing a car. A man two or three houses away waved me over and said “I’ll give you a car but it needs a battery. You go buy a battery and I’ll get the title.” It was a green Pontiac 1968 2-door Tempest OHC 6cyl. Went to Sears bought a battery, installed it and it started right up. He talked me into replacing the thermostat and replacing the radiator fluid, that’s it. It was actually a great reliable car. The motor did have a peculiar noise when it ran, almost like a whine.
I've never been in one of these, but somehow I can smell the interior. Probably smells like the interior of the 1968 Olds Delta 88 that my Great-Grandfather had. Fantastic!
I've always loved the L6. The fact they put one in 67 Pontiac is just down right sexy.
Yes I am the one that purchased it in Ohio drove it back 11 hours raining drove great love the car trust me it will never see salt in this life
I had one of them,, mine was dark red, with Black interier, 4 speed , 4 barrel carb and dual exhaust,, had to replace the cam when I got it, easy job, ran like a bat out of hell,, great car
That is one beautiful car. I love Pontiacs and I never knew those came with that engine. That's just damn cool
What a beautiful Pontiac. A friend of mine has a bunch of these pontiacs. I did a video awhile back of road tripping to Conn. To rescue a 64 wagon out of a back yard that he bought. Definitely not in this condition of course. He has 2 67's like this, both LeMans, with 326's, one a hard top, the other a convertible. Hope the new owner loves this gem.
Hey I’m looking for a gear shit for these do you happen to have any??
My mothers first car right their, we still got it too lol.
Beautiful. Probably rarer than a GTO
Yes because those engines were crap and unreliable.
DeLorean was an angel sent from heaven to lead the charge toward a brighter automotive sportsman's future.
I have one of those OHC 6 engines. Found it in a 66 tempest that hit junkyard last year. Got a video on it too
You took that motor out of the 4 door from the yard? It is a nice motor for sure! :-D
Where is a link to the vid? Please...

The Sprint 6 took the standard Pontiac 165 hp OHC 6 and tweaked it quite a bit to elevate it to a stout 215 hp. Not too shabby.
Dang, super clean!
Sweet looking Pontiac. That is a survivor for sure right there love the straight 6 engine
Those were good looking cars to start with and the OHC-6 is so rare now you almost never see one. Thanks for showing this to us.
Probably 20 years ago I was in a decent yard and I recall opening the hood of a 67 Firebird convertible that must have been an OHC-6 car because a Chevrolet 250 greeted me there. Parts were tough to find even when that car was parked. lol
Beautiful 67. A friend of mine had a 67 Firebird with OHC 6 and a 4 Speed. These engines were solid runners, but lacked a lot in the power department.
The engine had the potential to be a lot more than it was. Headers, double overhead cams, multiple carbs, this could have been on par with the AMC / Chrysler straight six. Custom engine builders get high numbers in horsepower out of that venerable straight six.
Ditto- great cars ❗️
There were two OHC 6 cylinders for Pontiac. Only the Tempest Sprint 6 got the 215hp in-line six which was based on the regular OHC 6 but had a lot more aggressive tuning, compression, timing, etc. The Firebird had to make do with the regular Pontiac OHC 6 at 165hp.
My next door neighbor had one of those - the exhaust note is very special and unusual . The Quadrajet was factory ! It was the higher output version of that engine, and that is where the Sprint name came from. The 4 barrels were "sprint" models. The issue with them was that for the money, most people went with the 326 V8 - the OHC 6 was an enthusiast engine
Man I just want to let you know that I love you I listen to you every day. I love you not in a weird way in an older brother type away, You being the old and I’m younger lol. It’s nice to know there’s someone out there likes the same things you like and you can relate. You work hard make good money but you enjoy what you do And you are good at it. keep up the good work love you bro 😎
I love that car hope you have a great week Jay
Damn man you have the best luck with finding these gorgeous old rides!!!
Really great car, those 60’s model cars and trucks it’s hard to beat!! Nice boots Jay! Great video
What a beautiful old classic Pontiac, wow.
My late uncle had one of these, now owned by my aunt. His is white, white/black interior, with a black vinyl top, and automatic transmission. First car I ever drove when I was 15, now I'm trying to find a way to save up some money and make payments on it before she sells it. No idea what these are worth, but they are beautiful cars!
Love my Pontiac's cool car definitely in mint condition. Thank you for sharing
THE '67 TEMPEST SPRINT IS GORGEOUS.
That’s a sweet ride. Great find
That is a nice car. Well done Jay. From the days America was King of the road man!👍😉
Absolutely gorgeous 😍. That car is a unicorn.
I had a 1967 LeMans with a 326 2 speed power glide ,what a automobile timing chain went out at 200,000 , Sold for what I paid for it . The interiors on these Pontiac's held very well ,when I sold it the guy who bought it wanted for the interior for his GTO go figure . All these 67's where great looking , Thanks for the video & that is a beautiful Pontiac Tempest.
Such a awesome gem great looking classic
You're so RIGHT! It's beautiful.
Gorgeous classic
Good to see you jay
My dream car! I used to own a '66 Tempest Custom (326ci) but once I discovered these Sprint 6s.... Oh baby! Such a bold and cool idea especially for '66/'67... Maybe one day I'll find (and afford) one!
That is a beautiful classic car
Love love this classic car!! I had a 1967 Pontiac tempest red convertible!! Came from Ohio to North Carolina on a vacation and several people asked me if I wanted to sell it and of course I said NO!!
It’s beautiful just like you 😂. It’s an awesome looking car!!! Sweet ride!!!
That`s a nice one jay :)
Beautiful, cool car!!!
JAY, this car is super rare. And with an option 3.90 rear end gearing Sprint 6s did surprise Chevy small block owners.
Beautiful car Jay
Keep On Cammin! Hope the new owner makes it over to our OHC Facebook forum.
Yep, had 2 of these little gems. One red 4 speed & one turquoise automatic. Both with factory air and rally gauge package. Will run forever with little maintenance. Also had the 67 Firebird version: 3 speed manual with power windows. Ran great but rusted out from below. Your 67 Sprint is worth a mint to the right guy. If your customer doesn't show up I'll take it!
One of the most popular body styles Pontiac ever made beautiful.
Looks like a blast to drive! And I’m a sucker for old str8 six’s
She's a beautiful. I never understood why gm didn't return back to this motor in the 1970s during the oil embargo and emissions standard.
Because the old school guys, who thought that the sixes had to suck, and if you wanted performance you bought a V8 were in power at GM in the 1970's. There was also a camp at GM that wanted to undo John DeLorean's influence, especially after the Vega fiasco.
Beautiful car
I worked with a guy. Had 1969 Firebird. That same drivetrain. That car was fast. Had 4 barrel and 4 speed.
The 67 Lemans / Tempest /GTO is my number 1 favorite. The Sprint option is rare. I am not an expert but I believe that it was offered with the b barrel or 4 barrel with the example you are showing and the ultimate Sprint - 4 barrel 4 speed. The only things that I wondered about are the rear lights and the wood grain dash applique. Both were on Lemans features versus Tempest though they may have been included with the Sprint. The seat covers also look like a Lemans though I think that it would have had a center arm rest. These are all super nit-picky details that add to the car in my opinion. Love it !!
May be a Tempest Custom. The body tag will tell.
My daddy always called these big boats lol and they ride along like their floating in midair and they are so smooth riding lol👍😆😊...
That is sick. The cam cover reminds me of the 4.6L modular ford
A very period correct car. You should check out Jay Leno's. He did a feature on his not too long ago. There was a lot going on with those OHC 6's, spitting out quite a bit of HP for the day. If I'm not mistaken the V8 was standard and this 6 was more expensive. That engine cranks out a little over 200HP Not bad for 1967
Gorgeous!
That car would make me so happy.
I love old Musule cars and this is just beautiful
That's one beautiful Baby GTO.
That is a super nice car. Would like to have it myself. It is not nice to pick on us up here in Ohio.
My cousin had one of these OHC6 firebirds. Really cool concept for the time.
Quite a beautiful auto
You are right..that is gorgeous
Pretty sweet car. A buddy had a '68 LeMans convertible with that same 6.
Beauty. Thanks for sharing it.
I remember those engines.
They were Chevy 6 cylinder 250 c u engines modified to have an overhead camshaft.
Beutiful car.
That's a nice car. My mom tested one in 67 but ended up buying a GTO instead. Those instrument panel lights are referred to as "idiot lights". I believe that engine made 215 HP Gross. Later ones made 230 HP.
I’ve been waiting for the video
Wow you’re not kidding that the H0 Six Engine which carried the same grill same tail lights as a 67 Le Mans only difference from the tempest in the Le Mans was the chrome bars on rear quarter panel and what a Beautiful looking car makes me miss my 1967 Le Mans sport mine out of the 326 two barrel three speed powerglide consul shifter 😢
Interesting, have never heard of this creation. Clean..
Over the years I bet a lot of these Tempests with factory straight 6s were swapped out for a V8. So to find one in all original condition with the original I-6 is really, really cool! I hope no one ever touches it. If you want a GTO, pay for it lol! Although I think these with their factory 6s are coming up in value. Jay Leno has a '67 Firebird with this motor that he's fixing up.
The AM tube radio still works. You never pull into the wrong side of the pump. Oh and IF you could find another OHC. There is a way getting a 292 crank into one of those 250 blocks with a OHV performance cam for those 6 cylinder CHEVY blocks.
Or you could cut a one cylinder off Chevy 350 heads and weld them together. Use a 250 block, 292 crank and pull that OHC and keep it for posterity.
Yes you got to fill & drill to make the head bolts line up. Got to make your own intake manifolds. But the exhaust are easy. They one for each side of a V--8.
Just chop the right cylinders off them. Sounds really confusing if you go with dual exhaust.
I knew somebody that did that in the 70s and raced it on dirt tracks against 350s in Chevelle bodies. Successfully. 4 1/8th inch bore x 3.75 in. stroke.
yep Chevy used a lot of inter changeable engine parts BACK then. But crossflow I-6 was not one of them.
Clifford still makes I-6 parts for those that don't weld drill and fill.
I am guessing because we never dynoed it. It had about 300 HP and maybe 340 ft lb of torque? And used a 450 CFM 4 barrel. Same as the 283 chevy.
That OHC engine has the same HP as a Corvair Monza 140. yes there was a 4 one barrel vesion and 180 HP turbo version The I6 has 60-80 ft lbs more torque.
GM did a lot of differnt 6 bangers in the 60s. The as a aluminum V-6 for the Buick. Those OK even if it did not have power steering.
Drove a 64 Tempest with a I-6 and a air cooled poweglide. Lasted forever. Never pulled the engine or the transmission
The was even a 292 version that was used in step vans. The block was a bit more heavier.
I always liked the OHC Pontiac but never had one. One of my friends wives had one and It was a 4 speed because she was not 3 pedal challenged.
It also got way better gas mileage than the Pontiac 350 4 barrel Tempest I cobbled together that sucked premium.
But then the govmint had to make cars after the 60s.
That's a beautiful car. Whaaaaaat?!!!!
I had a 1966 Pontiac Lemans 6 auto. Great car. You had to watch out for the timing belt. Paid $2,900. Brand New.
Sweet. My uncle owned one identical to this but a convertible. Straight 6 4bbl made 215 hp from factory. 🙂
A 67 tempest sprint 6 cyl 4 on the floor and a 4 barrel carb. You think it's "slower than Christmas?" G'ahead take her for a spin. See how wrong you can be. Lol
The beautiful car I hope my dad put two of them back together 67 that was it was like a blue with the blue interior and then the white one with the black convertible top it was a 68 the only thing we didn't finish was the convertible top but those are nice they're hard cars to come across but nice cars good video brother thank you for showing us
You used the right word for trying on that engine
That was my first car in 1974 I was 16
Mine was not a Sprint but the same body style a 2 door Post car
That engine was fragile as it requires frequent oil changes
When I got mine the engine sounded like klack klack klack
I had to put a new camshaft in it
Maybe with modern oil the camshaft would have lasted longer
That Tempest looks like it just drove off of a 1967 Pontiac showroom floor.
I have to admit, I'd be fighting the SERIOUS temptation to want to keep this car for myself. WOW! How is this car not at Barrett Jackson? I mean, seriously. Sure, it's not a full out GTO (with a 389 Tri Power....Grunts like Tim Allen) but with that engine it would be worth at least $25,000. (est., it is an auction) What a BEAUTY!!! That buyer is lucky!!
last time I saw that engine in person was in a salvage yard in 1981 looked impressive
Jay Lenonis rebuilding one of these on his channel pretty interesting vehicle thanks for posting
I think Jay's is in a firebird though?
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist I think you're right glad you caught my error
Oh, my. I just forwarded this to best friend who I thought would want to buy it, and then at the end of the video I woke up to the fact that you've sold it already. No wonder! That's a beautiful car. How's the new house and life doing, Jay?
Cool! Leno is working on a 67 Firebird Sprint right now.
I didn't see the spare? Very nice Jay!
Wow having flash backs on this one Jay I had one of those cars when I was 16 years old only the original engine had been destroyed somehow 😁 and replaced by a 292 Chevrolet truck engine the car had a 3 speed hurst standard transmission and for what is was that car would haul ass mine was black with white stripes and I had replaced the hood with a GTO hood working at the scrap yard had its benefits 🙂 Just saw one for sale in Michigan for $26.495.00 wish I still had mine but traded it for a 1970 road runner. those were the days.
That's a prize! I remember as a kid my neighbors had the same car in blue. My parents at the time had a 69 Bonneville convertible with a 428. As a kid I didn't appreciate the 6 like I do now.
I had one. but it was a four-door all original brand new looking.it had a 326 engine with AC.
Just: WoW !
Great car
A Holly projection Fuel Injection and an updated ignition system would be a great upgrade 👌
and possibly a pusher electric cooling fan for the car
im jealous.
Bruh same
I think Jay Leno would have loved this car. Due to the rare options.
The 230 OHC six was no joke. Had 215 HP with the 4bbl carb. Had a chance to buy one from a guy when I was in high school, a turquoise with a 4spd.
Unfortunately the man from Ohio that bought it didn’t get to see this car through. It does have a 460 CI stroker motor in it with a different rear end. The original six was kept, the car now is sitting on crager mags with bf Goodrich white letter tires. Still looks amazing. I seen it at his funeral
what a beauty : }
