Very nice car, but those do not appear to be Doug's headers. There is an emblem welded to the #2 cylinder primary tube (Doug's would be on the #1 cylinder), but I can't quite make it out. Maybe others here can.

Side note: That looks like a really nice car, but a buy-it-now price of $82.5k seems optimistic for a Tempest. Wonder what bidding will take place and what the reserve is. That said, I know how easy it is to pay that much to restore a car to a similar configuration. Unfortunately, the owner will likely never make their money back on a Tempest. That's hard enough to do even with a GTO. Still, it's a very cool car.
