Thumbs up '64 Tempest lover here.

Very cool.

It is a desireable car.

Any 44 year old 4-door car that's still in good condition is definitely worth buying for a good price. These cars just aren't popping out of the woodwork anymore, nowadays the 4-door cars that we used to pass up for a 2-door are finally getting some attention.

The 215-6 will get you an easy 20 MPG, perfect for getting your money's worth out of a Sunday afternoon tankful.

Face it, these Pontiacs of the '60s are all good-looking cars, even the lowly 4-door body styles.

I have a soft spot for the '64 A-body cars, to the PY forums!

I agree that any 44 year old car that still in good running condition is a desireable car and although not a popular body style it still get lots of looks............I had it parked in front of my g'friends garage sale (the 3rd pic in my original post) and within 10 minutes I saw two different guys pull a u-turn, park and walk into the yard sale prentending to look at stuff only to start looking at my car.........lol.............one guy lived around the corner and has a shoebox Nova and the other a '52 Chevy.............
Thanks for the welcome........

here's what it looked like at Englishtown...........the rear tires were almost flat, the interior floor was filthy and had a bad musty odor (which went away when I scrubbed the rubber carpet and took the mats out), the black stain on the bumper was just grease but, it iwas very complete and straight.......it didn't look like it was running but the guy drove it about 60 miles to the meet.................the guy I bought it from only had it for about 6 mos and didn't do anything with it...........he is into Hodaka motorcycles............
