THIS IS SWEET FIND….
ONE 1962 PONTIAC TEMPEST LEMANS EX DRAG CAR….
HERE IS WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE CAR,,, IT SAT IN ALDEN NY IN A BARN WITH A CONCRETE FLOOR ON JACKSTANDS AND WITHOUT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION UNTIL OCTOBER LAST YEAR.
MY GOOD FREIND STEVE PURCHASED THE CAR AND BROUGHT IT HOME.
HE THEN PAINTED THE UNDERCARRIAGE WITH SATIN PAINT, CLEANED IT UP SOME, APPLIED ABOUT 3 GALLONS OF WAX TO THE EXTERIOR, AND PUT IN A 326 PONTIAC AND A SAGINAW AND DROVE IT…
THE ENGINE AND TRANS HAVE BEEN REMOVED ….THIS CAR WAS ON THE ROAD 2 WEEKS AGO…..
I HAVE CLEAR CURRENT PAPERS ON IT.
WHEN FOUND, THIS CAR HAD THE SAME TIRES THAT ARE ON IT NOW,(NO FLAT SPOTS AS IT WAS ON STANDS).
IT HAS AN 57 OLD REAR AXLE IN TI.
THE CENTER SECTION HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR ANOTHER CAR…
IT HAD A 5.88 LOCKER IN IT.
I HAVE A STANDARD OPEN DIFF AND A 3 RIB CENTER WHICH WILL GO WITH IT.
YOU WILL NEED TO GET SOME GEARS TO COMPLETE IT…
THIS HAS A VERY WILD SLINGER STYLE ADJUSTABLE LADDER SET UP BUILT IN THE 60S.
VERY WILD STUFF….
HAS A DRIVESHAFT HOOP, IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT EXACT ENGINE IT WAS RUNNING…
WHEN HE BOUGHT IT, IT HAD A COMPLETE SET OF 55 TO 57 CHEVY MOTOR MOUNTS IN THE TRUNK.
THE HOODSCOOP WAS ADDED BY MY FREIND, BUT UNDERNEATH IT IS THE 2 HOLES FOR A CROSS RAM INTAKE……
THE CAR HAS FACTORY CLUTCH PEDALS,.
HAD A FUEL CELL AND A STEWART WARNER FUEL PUMP MOUNTED IN THE REAR, AS WELL AS THE BATTERY.
THE INNER TRUNK FLOOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT THE BUILDER CUT THE TOP OF THE INNER REAR FENDERWELLS OFF AND MADE SOME VERY ROUGH MINI WELLS.
WE LEFT THEM AS THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR WAS RACED.
THE SIDE WINDOWS ARE TINTED BLUE,,, THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY STOCK , THE CARPET IS ROUGH, BUT THE FLOORS UNDERNEATH ARE NICE.
NO FRONT SEATS, THEY WERE ALSO REMOVED FOR ANOTHER CAR…
IT HAD A EARLY SUN SUPER TACH 9000 RPM!!! WHICH HAS BEEN REMOVED AS WELL AS THE VINTAGE STEWART WARNER DOMED GLASS GUAGES.
THE BODY HAS SOME SMALL RUST ISSUES IN THE LOWERS AND THE REAR VALENCE PAN IS SHOT….
THIS IS AVERY SOLID CAR UNDERNEATH, IT SAT IN BARN WITH ABAD ROOF, AND IT GOT DRIPPED ON FOR 40 YEARS SO THE PAINT IS BASICALLY PEELED OFF.
BUT THERE IS LOTS OF HARD WAX ON IT TO PROTECT IT..
THE FRONT WHEELS ARE ORIGINAL…
THE REARS AER 67 OLDS TORONADO…
THE SLICKS ARE 9.00 DRAGSTERS…
THIS IS A VERY KOOL CAR…
NOT OFTEN DO YOU SEE ONE OR HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE ONE.
THIS IS A PEICE OF DRAG RACING HISTORY…..
