1963 PONTIAC LeMANS TEMPEST.
WAS MANUFACTURED IN 63 AND ON A 1/4 MILE TRACK IN 64.
I KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE FOR THE OWNER PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR.
THERE IS NO MOTOR,TRANSMISSION,OR KEYS FOR IT.
APPEARS TO HAVE ORIGIONAL WINDSHIELD,SIDE GLASS COMES WITH IT BUT APPEARS TO HAVE PLEXIGLASS IN IT'S PLACE.
HAS A 63 PLATE ON IT,BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS EVER LEGALLY PLATED.
HAS SOME SORT OF LONG TORTION BARS FROM REAREND UP TO DRIVERS AREA (PROBABLY TO KEEP THE CAR FROM TWISTING OR WHEELHOPPING)
I BELIEVE THE SEATS ARE GREEN WITH A LITTLE DUST.THEY DO NOT APPEAR RIPPED.
ONLY RUST I FIND IS PASSENGER SIDE FRONT QUARTER (SEE PICTURE)
HAS TOW BAR =ATTACHMENTS ARE ON CAR.
TIRES ARE WEATHERCHECKED BUT HOLD AIR
BOTH BUMPERS HAVE DENTS IN THEM.
DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY YEARS IT WAS RACED, BUT HAS HAD INDOOR STORAGE SINCE IT RETIRED FROM THE TRACK.
I'M SURE THE REAREND IS NOT STOCK,MOTOR WAS PROBABLY A BIGBLOCK.
THERE IS STUFF IN THE TRUNK (I PEEKED FROM BACK SEAT)LOOKS LIKE UNDERHOOD PARTS (HOPE IT'S NOT HOFFA)
NOT SURE ABOUT SHIFTER,DRIVESHAFT,RADIATOR,AND SUCH. SOME MAY BE IN TRUNK (NO KEYS)
SQUARE HOLE IN FLOORBOARD WAS CUT FOR SHIFTER.
I PREFER YOU PICK IT UP BUT WILL DELIVER ANYWHERE THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT,GIVE US A CALL. (NORTH END OF HARRISON MI)
( XXX ) XXX-XXXX = XXX-XXXX = XXX-XXXX = XXX-XXXX

IWILL NOT PULL THIS ITEM OR STOP SALE, SO PLEASE DON ASK.
THE OWNER AND I WENT THROUGH IT TODAY TO FIND OUT WHAT WE WERE SELLING AND I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN ALL I CAN.
THE
WINDSHIELD IS PLEXIGLASS AND THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE ORIGIONAL WINDSHIELD
AND FOR THAT REASON I WILL ALLOW ALL BIDDERS BEFORE NOVEMBER 2ND TO RETRACT BIDS OR I WILL CANCEL THEIR BID IF REQUESTED.
THE
REAR GLASS APPEARS ORIGIONAL AND THE SIDE GLASS IS PLEXIGLASS, HOWEVER
THE ORIGIONAL SIDE GLASS APPEARS IN MINT CONDITION AND COMES WITH CAR.
THE FRONT QUARTERPANELS ARE THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN FIND THE WORD TEMPEST, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE STOCK.
THERE
IS RUST ON PASSENGER FRONT QUARTERPANEL AND SOME RUST UNDERNEATH WITH 1
HOLE RUSTED THROUGH UNDERBODY BUT NOT INTO INTERIOR OF CAR (ABOUT 3
INCH DIAMETER). SURFACE RUST AS SEEN OVERABOUT 90 PERCENT OF THE BODY. ALL IN ALL ITS IN A LOT BETTER SHAPE THAN THE ANGLIA IVE BEEN WAITING TO RESTORE FOR 20 YEARS.
IT
APPEARS AS THOUGH WHEN ORIGIONAL ,THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE TRANSAXLE
AND OR REAREND.THERE IS A REAREND IN IT NOW THAT HAS BEEN SHORTENED OR
LENGTHENED FOR WIDTH AND THERE ARE 2 PLACES ON PUMPKIN THAT HAVE PLATES
WELDED. 1 MAY HAVE BEEN TO WELD THE SPIDERGEAR.THERE SAS A RING AND
PINION IN THE TRUNK MARKED24-43-10. THEY ARE VERY RUSTY AND UNSURE IF THEY WERE REPLACED OR IF THEY WERE SPARES.
THE
SEATS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH A 1 INCH CUT IN BOTTOM OF REAR SEAT
BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT.THEY SEEM ORIGIONAL BUT LOOKS LIKE BUCKETS HAVE
BEEN MODIFIED FOR SPEED SHIFTING.
THE
REAR BRAKE DRUMS WERE REMOVED AND IN THE TRUNK,FRONT DRUMS APPEAR
ALUMINUM WITH COOLING FINS. TELLS ME THAT THE ODOMETER WAS TURNING WHEN
THE CAR WAS NOT.
THE FRONT BUMPER APPEARS PUSHED IN SOMEWHAT BUT DOSEN HAVE MAJOR DENTS.
THE CHANNEL UNDER RADIATOR IS DENTED FORWARD.
FUEL
TANK LOOKS TO ME LIKE AN ADD-ON, AND TOTALLY UNSURE OF HOODSCOOP-LIKE
THING THAT WAS ONCE UPON A TIME,LOOKED ALMOST HEARTSHAPED AND LEFT 6
TINY HOLES BEHIND WITH 2 BLACK PAINTED CIRCLES.
BATTERY WAS MOUNTED IN TRUNK AND HAS ELECTRONIC TACHOMETER BOX LIKE THING ON FIREWALL.
TAG BY BRAKE BOOSTER READS = STYLE 63 2217 BODY PO 9473TRIM 217PAINT CCACC 2H-2G-4R-5A BODY BY FISHER 1-17

ANOTHER LISTING. YOU CAN FIND THEM UNDER WORTHLESS PICTURES IN MY OTHER
