1962 Pontiac Tempest Convertible
1962 Pontiac Tempest
LeMans Package Red exterior, Black interior, White Power Convertible top Numbers Matching 4 cylinder 110 HP 3 speed Manual 59,800 original miles Road worthy and driven for pleasure $2975 The Good New Michelin Tires New front fenders New front valence New rear valence (not installed) New front grille New headlight surrounds New front turn signal lenses All electrical works great All exterior trim in great shape (except for bumpers) New carpet Seat belts installed for 5 AM Radio works New shocks New brakes; lines, cylinders, pads, master cylinder New clutch and flywheel resurface New short shaft and prop shaft bearings Spare and jack intact Rebuilt carburetor New fuel pump 4 beautiful hub caps Speedo works great Emergency/Park brake works Floor is rock solid (wire brushed and painted during carpet replacement) Original interior is in great shape All glass is intact Good battery Fuel Gauge works Car drives like a dream and tracks STRAIGHT. The Bad Engine doesn't like high RPM's; suspect recessed valves Windshield has deep scratch in wiper arc pattern, passenger side Convertible top is intact and barely weather-tight, but is not pretty Exhaust system has holes (pft-pft-pft at idle ) Radiator sometimes weeps (no kidding - sometimes) Heater core is bypassed; it leaks Secondary transmission shaft bearings are noisy (Neutral, 1st, 2nd). 3rd is silent! Body has creased left rear quarter and several rust spots (rockers, rr valence, trunk filler panel). Not a challenge for a decent body guy. Convertible top hydraulic pump needs attention (draws current but makes noise) Dents, dings in multiple places (but trim is in excellent shape) 1963 front bumper with cut brackets to fit right Evidence in unibody of right front fender bender; 95% banged out Bell housing is cracked near clutch fork Takes a while to fire after sitting long periods. Heater controls binding (but blower works at all speeds) Accessories Included Backup lights (installed) Bumper guards Fender skirts Extra tail light lenses Oil filter and adapter added 63 Parts Manual 62 Shop Manual 62 Body Manual (I think) Many items of literature I may be only the 3rd owner. 1st in PA, 2nd was my Uncle in PA Will be listing this car on Ebay soon, starting at this price, and will post that link here.
