1967 Pontiac Tempest Custom review from North America
"Old school style that still holds firm today"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Simple wear and tear. This car was built in 1967. It is in amazing shape when I got it. The only costs I have put into this car have been to replace old parts.
General comments?
Since owned, I rebuilt the front end, replaced the rear springs and shocks, rebulit the gear box, added Pontiac Rally rims with BF Goodrich Radial T/A's, put a 4 barrel Holley carburator and Edelbrock intake and dual exhaust with H-pipe, I have added gages, and I just finished ordering a TH 350 street and strip transmission, rebuilt the rear end with 3.55 gears and an Auburn posi-traction unit. I am going to take the 326 engine out and replace it with a 400 engine. After that, I will have a clean and strong street machine that will last me a lifetime!!!
