Pontiac Tempest 326 V8 1967

General description : 326 V8, 2SPD AUTO, CORRECT COLOR COMBO, CLEAN IN/OUT, RUNS & DRIVES WELL, NICE!

Pontiacs were on the wide track for 1967, and today that makes them one cool cruiser. When you can find a Tempest Custom hardtop coupe with the right mix of investments and originality, and it's offered at such a nice price, you're looking at a deal that's always in style.
Stacked headlights, the pointed hood, and those flying buttress C-pillars make this Tempest look like a much more expensive car. In fact, the pillarless hardtop profile instantly gives this both a sporty and sophisticated appearance. While we love the way it already looks, we know there are many of you out there who already see the full GTO clone potential (after all, the internal naming at GM still called it the Tempest GTO.) But before you take this one to muscle car school, take a look at all the great elements that are already in place. The factory-correct blue has been given a professional respray, it has always received proper indoor storage, and even the tag from the original dealership is still affixed to the bumper of this two-owner Tempest. Plus, the wraparound chrome bumpers, rocker trim, and iconic Rally II wheels give it an impressive presentation no matter what model you call this classic Pontiac.
There's added sophistication from the moment you open the door. After all, the factory-correct blue-on-blue appearance is something you might find in a European coupe. Plus, this has new seat covers and carpeting to keep it looking and feeling its freshest. This is an upper level Tempest Custom, so you paid more for it than a V8 Chevelle coupe back in '67. The interior reflects this nicely with a premium feeling such as the intricate pattern on the seats, matching door panels, and a sporty round gauge dash. Everything is within easy reach, and since this is such as well-preserved classic, all the right features work – from the heat/defrost, to the Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission, to the original AM radio.
There has been a solid investment in the engine bay to keep all the components looking like it's 1967 all over again under the hood. It seems fitting since this Tempest has reached the half-century mark, and it should be celebrated for its level of presentation. In fact, we even believe the 326 cubic-inch V8 to be original to the car! And the full package has received recent investments that include a new starter solenoid, new plugs & wires, and a new pinion seal. While the V8 share its lineage with the GTO's motor, the characteristics are a little different. This one still has plenty of power, but you can feel that it sees stoplights as something to cruise in-between instead of the next challenger. The result is a shining classic coupe that won't wake the neighbors if you decide to go for a midnight drive.
This coupe comes with all the right paperwork including the original Protect-O-Plate warranty card, owner's manual, and maintenance records. When an interesting and well-presented classic like this is also so affordable, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!
