Reading the OHC 6 story reminds me of a neat Tempest hardtop that was for sale years ago just down the road from my house. I was in between cars and looking for a cruiser. It was going to be either this OH6 Tempest hardtop that was a bit barn sour, otherwise original, or a 1967 GTO ragtop that was more rag than top, complete frankenstein drive train swap with a 421 tripower and really nasty automatic with high stall converter. While I was making up my mind, the tripower GTO frankenstein sold and the OHc 6 Tempest was stolen! I ended up getting a Mach 1 instead. Never forgot either car though.
