My First Poncho
Just obtained this 1969 Tempest Custom S drag car. I am 22 years old in Warren Michigan and purchased the car in Livonia Mi. Needs a lot of work to make it more streetable but the car is pretty mint body wise. 460 Pontiac stroker motor with plenty of nice parts. Ill be having plenty of questions for you guys. But luckily this forum seems to be the best Pontiac based one on the web.

Most excellent, nice looking car. And ... you have mostly the fun stuff to do rather than a bunch of PITA restoration work.

Welcome. It looks like you made a great score there. Here's mine, I used to live in Warren on Eiffel until recently. Hope you get your toy dialed in soon. Great looking Poncho. Lapeer is all new too.

That car originally came with a 350 HO and it was a giant killer! Here's one taking it to a 440 Road Runner (Custom S has the black roof)…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-pT4E-WziM Congrats on your latest grab. Love that paint job! =) Ponchy
