Up for sale is this recently completed 1962 Pontiac Tempest LeMans Full Tube Chassis Drag Car. My now ex-wife and I spent a little over 5 years building this car the right way. Now that we are divorced, my heart just is not into it anymore. We had it NHRA chassis certified in 2007 for 8.50 1/4 mile ET's. Did not race it until the end of the 2008 season, doing only 7 runs, and only a total of 5 run's in 2009. Body work is 90% done, just a little left to do-then paint!

Ruined the #1 and #2 rod bearings on the 455. New motor is in, and running. Got it w/ out any tuning to do 6.88 in the 1/8th mile at 98.8 mph. The trans must be slipping, since our 60' was only 1.50. Having fun with it while we still have it!

Like Madonna said in her song...."I AM KEEPING MY BABY!". LMAO

I realized that I put alot of time and effort into the '62 to get rid of it. As did alot of friends, and close family (including the ex).

I am doing better since the divorce, but still miss her deeply. I have come out of the fog to see that I am keeping the '62...and will continue to have fun with it! Thanks to all for the interests, kind words, and some killer offers and trades.

See you at the drag strip!
