1965 Pontiac Tempest Post Coupe 4 Speed Bench Seat With Ohc & Dual Exhaust on 2040-cars

1965 PONTIAC TEMPEST POST COUPE 4 SPEED

I am the 3rd owner of this very solid Midwest car. I have owned this Fontaine Blue base model Tempest for almost 10 years. The Tempest originated in Colorado, then South Dakota. The previous owner drove it from SD to NJ in which it now resides. The car retains all its original sheet metal. The original 6 cyl engine was replaced with a 1966 OHC 230 with a Sprint 4bbl intake & carb along with a custom dual exhaust – No Y- pipe.
The three on the tree was upgraded to a Saginaw 4 on the floor. This upgrade included a new steering column to get rid of the nub from the column shift. I upgraded the power steering box to a mid 80’s Monte Carlo SS quick ratio box for modern road feel. A great improvement! All GM parts were used for all upgrades including 1965 GTO front & rear sway bars & 5 blade radiator fan.
This car has been well maintained all its life. The 12+ year old paint job is showing its age with a few bumps & bruises. The front bumper has been triple chrome plated. The rear bumper is original – notice no back up lights… an option for 1965. This car gets plenty of attention wherever it goes.
The Tempest sports 225/70/R14 Firestone Daytona 500 Radials on the original 14x6 Steel Wheels for a very comfortable ride. It handles great, even with 4 wheel drum brakes. Awesome drivability is achieved with a 3.08 open rear & Manual Trans.
The Interior is in very good shape. I had the original AM factory Delco radio converted to AM/FM with an input to use my ipod so I can listen to some good tunes while rowing through the gears. The Tempest has the original rubber floor mat – The base model did not come with carpet. The door panel speakers were installed by the previous owner. Dash pad was replaced and Temp gauge was added.
This summer the Tempest received a new front windshield. To my surprise the window channel was not rusted out – another benefit from residing 38+years in the mid west. This car has been a pleasure to own & drive.
Why am I selling? I used to drive my car about 3 times a week when the weather was nice to and from work. I now work in NYC and commute by train. It’s time to let someone else enjoy this beautiful Pontiac. Would you like to be the 4th owner? Any questions or to schedule a test drive – feel free to contact me. Thanks for looking.
