Pontiac Tempest (1965)
for sale
Price: US $13,500.00
Price: US $13,500.00
Street-Strip 1965 Pontiac Tempest with 1973 GTO motor (4 bolt main). This car was designed to be drivable on the
street (street legal) and still be dominant on the strip. This car will out-run any stock new car under
$250, 000 in the quarter. This cars driveline
is strong. The motor has 600 miles on
it, the Trans has about 700 miles. This
car has done 3 low-power passes to tune it after 3 dyno runs for tuning . Once the timing was set and power was made, has not done any passes (needs new front tires). This is not an abused car, I am unable to
utilize the car as much as I should with my work schedule and buying a
new house, I can justify the car to the wife.
TWO short Videos taken recently:
** I am asking 13, 500. This price is FIRM. If the car
was perfect I would be asking 50K+. This
car is rust free, in great condition, HOWEVER it does need a new paint
job. This car needs cosmetic work, but
is a great canvas to work on to make this car to your own tastes! Cash/Cashier’s check, title in hand and it's
yours. 1st Come 1st Serve. The car will not be held. Buyer is responsible for pick-up. You can drive it anywhere you want, this car
passes anything, except gas stations. If
you want to drive it 2 hours home you can, but you will buy many gallons of
gas. .

longevity.
