Pontiac Tempest (1961)
for sale

Price: US $20,000.00

Description:

1961 Pontiac Tempest Gasser...A 350 CI small block V-8 provides the basis for the car's powertrain, and while it benefits from such advances as the Hilborn electronic fuel injection in place of the less sophisticated mechanical system, it still gets the visual cues right with its trademark injection stacks and fender well headers. From the twin hood and fender cutouts to the hand fabricated aluminum shrouding strategically placed over the fan and header tubes, the installation is clean and professional. The driveline is standard FX fare: a Hurst shifted 4 speed manual with line lock, and a ford 9 inch with 4.88:1 gears and Strange axles. Collectors will like the pairing of the chromed ET style 10 spoke front wheels and polished rim Halibrands mounting period look drag slicks, the better to execute the skyward launches that necessitate the car's extra length twin wheelie bars. Riding in nose up fashion by virtue of its tube front axle, this retro-gasser also features trunk mounted batteries and fuel cell. Pearl White paint and the original and very clean original red interior are the perfect finish for a car built to replicate a factory special. The only replacement on the interior is the carpeting done back to the original look. All glass is original to the car.
