Wow Keith,

What are you going to do with all that extra interior room? That's a lot more cubic feet of car than your Tempest! Good luck I hope its as good as it looks.

Drag Star Le Mans 09-06-2014 03:26 AM

Thats not little, still a sweet car though.

pontiac1981 09-06-2014 03:33 AM

GpFreak 09-06-2014 06:57 AM

Simple Man 09-06-2014 07:18 AM

David Jones 09-06-2014 07:43 AM

That car needs a zip code.

Go for it.

Cool! How many fighter jets can it hold?

Appears to be a lot of "younger" guys on this thread. Back in 1963 there was a Pontiac dealer across the highway where i worked. I had a 62 Catalina/Ventura and loved it. Liked the 62 GP a lot, as well as the 63 Tempest. When the 64 GTO came out, it looked like a Chevy with an fugly interior. Door panels had metal on the top edge. Cheap looking. The big cars were classier looking, with the same power.

Old Guys Rule

mechanickeith 09-06-2014 12:51 PM

Original owner car in southern Arizona. Has aftermarket A/c, running driving car. Asking 5K for it. Waiting on a call back with more info. Almost a 200 mile drive one way. I have an empty berth in the driveway right next to the 69 Catalina!!!

66bonne 09-06-2014 02:22 PM

That's a good price for what appears to be a solid Poncho. I like the two tone.

Nice car Keith.
I like the land yachts. The designers were able to pen such great flowing lines.
Up until recently I owned a time capsule 2 door 66 Mercury Park Lane. It was a beautiful car but I had trouble storing it due to the length (18'5") and finally had to regretfully sell her to a collector who had plenty of space.

mechanickeith 09-06-2014 06:17 PM

Got some more info,,, 389, automatic, R12 A/C unit under the dash. 119K miles, 1 repaint in the early 80's. At that time the top was painted white. Originally a 1 tone paint job. Has been in storage since 1985. New tires & brakes all the way around. New (used) fuel tank. Dont know the color, was told its original color, a blue/green. Very faded now. Will have some more photos in the next couple of days. Was told the interior is real nice.

Stuart 09-06-2014 09:26 PM

I used to have a '65 GP. They're great cars, perfect for long road trips.

Bob Dillon 09-06-2014 10:35 PM

Road trip!
 
200 miles? Big deal.

You need that car. :D

Perfect car for that distance. 200 miles will seem like 50 compared to riding in a muscle car.

*Ducks and runs* :eek:

Darksiders unite :D

The Boss 09-07-2014 09:14 AM

Can you handle that much Luxury Keith? ;)

Great car!

Kurt Zimmerman 09-07-2014 09:35 AM

Pull some dining room chairs up around that hood... seating for eight.

Kurt

kylek350 09-07-2014 09:39 AM

Very cool car! I can't believe how affordable the big cars can be!

jusjay 09-07-2014 12:10 PM

So Keith, are you going to swing the tempest off the rear deck like a life boat?

65blackplate 09-08-2014 01:13 AM

nice! great deal imo have fun with it

The Boss 09-08-2014 07:06 AM

I wonder what the wheel looks like under that wrap? Usually pretty good!

Good for you Keith! After all the **** luck you've had in the last few years it's about time some good luck came through!

Alf ista 09-08-2014 08:42 AM

Very nice! Best of luck with it Keith.

Engine-Ear 09-08-2014 09:51 AM

...Just add a RediRad (model FM) and you're good-to-go, Keith!

Even though it's not as-built, the period-look is growing on me...a circa-1979-added CB and under-dash A/C tells part of the story of this car.

hurryinhoosier62 09-08-2014 03:41 PM

Good find at a great price, Keith.

Deadhead 09-08-2014 04:10 PM

Very cool deal. You are gonna be happy when you cruise that thing. A perfect time capsule. You could really ice the passenger down with that A/C!

Alvin 09-08-2014 04:38 PM

Congrats on your find Keith!
Hope you enjoy each and every mile in that classic Pontiac Land Yacht GP high-water-mark image-mobile. :thumbup:

Before you know it you'll be parallel parking that bad-boy like a champ...just like I used to do...on my drivers test! :eek:

From looking at the radio, looks like it has the am/fm. Isnt the top bar a slide switch back & forth for AM & FM???

Deadhead 09-08-2014 06:37 PM

That is what I thought from looking at it too. Could be Wonderbar, but I think AM/FM. Tilt too!

mechanickeith 09-09-2014 08:31 PM

Thanks for the links Alvin!!

Been looking real hard at the pics I have. Found lots of interesting stuff!! Car has a tilt wheel, an AM/FM radio, has a reverb & has a rear window defroster. The CB says its an Echo brand. The A/C unit says Wards Riverside Supreme. There is also a tag in the very top center of the console where it meets the bottom of the dash. Looks like someones name is on there. Cant make out the name but it ends in Jr.

I see no signs of water inside the car anywhere. Door panels look perfect. The very top corner of the drivers seatback is split/cracked. I do see what looks like surface rust at the bottom right corner of the back window. All of the fenders, doors & 1/4's look great. There are door dings on the car & a small thin crease on the right rear side right above the GP emblem.

Car has the orange with green Az lisc. plate that shows the last registration as July 1985.

More to follow as I find it!

Alf ista 09-10-2014 05:24 AM

CB radio, how seventies is that!:cool:

Greg Reid 09-10-2014 06:44 AM

Man, I'd roll in that in a heartbeat.

The Boss 09-10-2014 07:52 AM

When do you pick it up?

mechanickeith 09-10-2014 08:05 AM

He is bringing it to me!,, Next couple of weeks or so.

Yep, agreed. The FM-band-version of the RediRad is the best choice for this radio is what I was getting at.

2002Z4CSS 09-10-2014 10:38 AM

Very nice car. Easy restoration. :)

GT182 09-10-2014 09:04 PM

Cool, and in great shape too. Go for it!

No.... it's a Land Yacht. Built for pleasure or racing. ;)

se428bandit 09-12-2014 04:45 PM

I wish i could find a '65 GP that nice here in Georgia.

geeteeohguy 09-12-2014 07:10 PM

Congrats! That is one heck of a lot of automobile for the money. And high quality, too. These cars have the best interiors and a killer comfortable ride. Well done.
