| This is a 1966 Tempest Custom low mileage survivor - car still had all of its original T-3 Headlights, painted amber bulbs, and original brakes on it - indicated mileage is 24,500 and that could very well be the actual mileage. Car has never been repainted so nothing is hidden by bodywork or primer, has a pretty sound body and has all original sheetmetal and interior An important point - Most cars like this have gone through dozens of high school graduating classes and have been wrecked, painted and repainted numerous times over shoddy bodywork and in the hands of novice mechanics and abusive drivers - not this one - it was just tucked away after the original owners family played with it a little bit - we found the insurance card of the 70 year old man that sold it in the glove box further proving the claims of the people we got it from It is a Kansas built paint code T-T Martinique Bronze exterior, Bronze interior car. The same color as the GTO in the movies Knight & Day, Drive and Faster and basically the identical car in a Tempest as a Kansas built 1966 GTO we previously owned that recently sold for $89K at auction. For less than 1/5 the price you can have the same visual impact with this car with a little work! It has a 1967 GTO drivetrain with a January of 1967 build date engine, factory code WT for manual transmission GTO, with no vin number stamped on the engine so it is correct for just about every manual transmission 67 GTO. I have seen those bare blocks alone go for good money. It has the correct 670 heads and the Ram Air I cam, Muncie 4 Speed and 3.55 posi. The Muncie transmission also has no vin on the case so it would be correct for many GM muscle cars from a restoration standpoint. I have seen those cases alone go for good money. Even the gear shift alone, which is a rare 1964-66 Chevelle factory correct reverse lockout unit can be seen sold in another ebay auction for $550 just by itself. Tons of value in just parts alone Car was originally a 4 speed car - this means all of the correct 4-speed parts are in the car including the steering column. We did not PHS this car since it is only a Tempest, but have decoded it pretty well. We do not have the original engine as the engine swap was done by the original owner. The car runs extremely strong and has updated Heavy Duty V-8 suspension springs and shocks. This car passed Missouri State inspection with all of its other original suspension parts aside from a new idler arm, one new ball joint, new springs, shocks and brakes and of course tires. That's it. Aside from that it is running all of its 51 year old parts and they are in spec! Naturally passing state licensing inspection requires all lights, blinkers, wipers, horn etc. to be working as well as all suspension components to be tight and in spec, complete unleaking exhaust out to the rear bumper, good tires, good glass, no leaking fluids, good brakes and more. We replaced the original 1966 brakes and shocks, and couple of the original T-3 headlights and obtained standard non historic vehicle plates on it. It also has new coil springs and some new bushings, but they were upgrades to heavy duty spec and not required The body is very solid over most of it with the typical minor rust found in the problem areas. We have repair panels for most of these areas. This car could be driven the way it is or restored. It is a perfect candidate for one of the "clear over patina" finishes that are in fashion these days of you are into that sort of thing. Another important point - We have all of the original GM factory GTO parts to go with this car - Factory GM Hood, Grilles, Turn Signals, Emblems, Grab Bar, Interior Emblems and of course it has the 1967 GTO 400 and stick already in it - it would be an easy body restore and conversion to GTO trim and not with restoration grade parts either - all factory GM In addition to the GTO parts and maintenance parts there has been many thousands spent on performance parts and restoration items The total cost to date is well over the sale price offered here - the way this car runs and handles, and with all of the expensive GTO parts already sourced I am firm on the price - I have seen cloth bench seat, column shift, 307 Powerglide Chevelles sell for as much in worse shape!! I have seen people trying to sell similar cars all disassembled and in boxes of who knows what parts for almost as much. This car has never been apart aside from the engine swap and all of its original fasteners are still in place. All of the bolts we have removed to change parts have come loose easily and went back together - nothing seized or snapped - all in all very hard to find these days - we had a hard time finding cars this clean and original 30 years ago This car starts easily cold, idles, has instant throttle response, gains RPM very quickly and pulls through all 4 gears hard, has tons of power that can keep the wheels spinning through 3rd gear at 80 MPH if you want, shifts perfectly, handles great for this type of car thanks to the sway bars, new springs and shocks, and drives straight, brakes straight and is very pleasant to drive - I have included videos of these facts including demonstrating acceleration in each gear only lasts about 2 seconds..... No matter what this sale is a give away - you could not build this car for what I am asking even if someone gave you a clean Tempest to start with for free! The car is a turn key running, driving, inspected, licensed vehicle. The interior smells like an old Pontiac, not some nasty "barn find" or field car - no dirt, rodent, over rich exhaust or mildew smells at all - very hard to find in this condition this late in the game |
