That was without a google too. I googled it after I posted though.
 I have been a fan of those little cars since I was a kid. You should see the transmission in that car, it looks like a 1/3 or 1/4 scale 39 Ford. The motor is 45 CI as I remember. The exhaust pipe is about 3/4" tube, it's hilarious. I have to think a little about my question.  Brian

I think both, but yes you got it.
It's your floor John. I have to say when looking up a photo to post of this engineering marvel I was blown away to see that they put the aluminum block Buicks in these Pontiacs! I didn't know that, or I had forgotten. Very interesting! Brian

Pontiac Tempest "Sprint" six cylinder. Being my first two cars were inline sixes I have always been a big fan. One of these four speed four barrel Sprints was my dream car for years.

I had a buddy put one in a 47 Ford street Rod. Very few people could figure out what they were looking at........Ball is in your court.

Don't you remember? You to see them advertised in car mags, comic books and I think the Monkey Wards catalog. Picture of a Jeep Jitney with a fringed top and the words " Clang Clang" The ad was right next to the one for a Ahooogaaa Horn. Just above the ad for a Wolf Whistle complete with a cartoon wolf with shifty eyes and extended lips. Oh yea, you could make extra money selling Clovite. I always wondered what the heck Clovite was? It was only yesterday.
Here you guys go. Who made it and what year?
