Many were disappointed when General Motors put the Pontiac brand out for pasture, since it had represented a very special niche of the American market since the 1920s and had kept millions of drivers very happy over the years.

If you own a classic car from this stable, or even admire them from afar, then you will be pleased to hear that a website has set up a new product range to help Pontiac owners buy replacement engines for their ageing beasts.

The appropriately named RemanufacturedEnginesForSale.com is design to put classic owners in touch with others who are looking to sell refurbished power plants for a variety of old school vehicles.

Classic models, such as the Pontiac Tempest, GTO and Grand Am, should all be well served by this site and if your example has more miles on the clock than you would care to mention, it might be time to carry out a bit of transplant surgery.

The engines come in all shapes and sizes, as well as offering differing levels of completeness, which means those who are working on their own projects can probably find the parts they need, without having to scrounge elsewhere.
