'63 Tempest/Lemans
Does anyone know of a '63 Tempest/Lemans coupe for sale in the $9000-$12000 price range. I prefer a converted to conventional driveline and Pontiac power. Would consider a good body or project. Sold my Camaro and now have cash, some nice cars I had to pass over until my car sold so now I'm looking. Must be a "63 and a non-wagon. Thanks

I know of a '63 Tempest Lemans Convertable, 4cyl, 4spd Transaxle. Super nice, rotisserie restored , 99.5% done. It's going to be more than your $12k upper limit, though.
Just tossing it out there, Chris

Older restoration that still looks good. Has the 195ci w/auto trans. Stripped down model....radio delete, very few options. New brakes, tires, timing chain, water pump in the last year. $6,000 or offer.

aquamarine tempest
Yes it is in Illinois and happy to have it. Thanks Jerry and Susan for a great little car. I'm excited to at least get started on a plan for a V-8 conversion. I've got someone wanting to do the rearend fabrication and install so I think come fall that will be my first step. Because I'm wanting to drive it some this summer I think I'll work on interior and look at installing front disc brakes. With an aquamarine color car what color carpet and headliner would I use from Ames or another source. I've looked into getting the seats recovered but while that is happening I'm going to replace the headliner. I like the bench seat tri-color interior. SMS also has the Pontiac label available for the center vinyl. Anyone produce the wedge for a dual master cylinder to level it? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

I had a friend make a wedge for me out of 1/2 inch alluminium.
I also move my master to the top bolts for more clearance. GT. |
