Pontiac Tempest 383 Stroker V8 1967

General description : NICE CRUISER, 383 STROKER V8, 4 SPD MANUAL, DOCS, CLEAN INTERIOR, FUN 4 SPEED!

It looks like a GTO, growls like a GTO, but this coupe still proudly wears its 1967 Pontiac Tempest name. So while it has the outstanding performance of a modified 383 stroker V8 and four-on-the-floor, you still get the Tempest's affordable pricing.
Stacked headlights, the pointed hood, and those flying buttress C-pillars make this Tempest look like a much more expensive car. In fact, the pillarless hardtop profile instantly gives this both a sporty and sophisticated appearance. So while we love the way this one looks, we know there are many of you out there who already see the mesh grill and can see the full GTO clone potential (after all, the internal naming at GM still called it the Tempest GTO.) Plus, the wraparound chrome bumpers, rocker trim, and iconic Rally II wheels give it an impressive presentation no matter what model you call this classic Pontiac.
It's hard not to make comparisons to the GTO when you step inside. The black bucket seat interior with matching door panels, carpeting and headliner has the look of both premium and performance. In fact, this is an upper level Tempest Custom, so you paid more for it than an V8 Chevelle coupe back in '67. The interior reflects this nicely with a premium feeling such as the intricate stitching on the seats and the wood appearance of the dash. The factory-style features are joined by plenty of nice modern upgrades, including the cup holder center console and three-spoke woodgrain steering wheel. But what you're going to love best of all are the performance upgrades. After all, a Hurst floor shifter and column-mounted tach are a clear indication there's something special under the hood.
One look at the tidy engine bay, and you can see it was built for performance. The Edelbrock topper, matching valve covers, and shiny fan shroud are all great looking pieces, and when you dig deeper, you'll discover the performance of a 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. This has been enhanced even further with go-fast goodies such as a new Holley 650 CFM four-barrel carburetor, MSD ignition, Dart heads, and long tube headers. That last piece also enhances the rumble that comes from the dual exhaust, which makes this Tempest sound like its GTO sibling. You get full control over this performance V8 and its growling soundtrack thanks to the Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission. It's the kind of total power package that reminds you Pontiac was at the bedrock of American muscle cars.
This coupe comes with a huge paperwork file that includes title docs, owner's manual, restoration photos, and build receipts. So, you get a great classic coupe with an impressive presentation and all the right documents. When an interesting and speedy classic like this is also so affordable, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!!
