Ok, lets get a few things straight here!!! The 61-63 Tempest cars can be tricky to drive due to the type or rear suspension. They have the same style swing axles that are in Corvairs & the old VW's. If you turn too fast at a high speed, the rear tires will try & tuck in at the bottom causing unsafe handling.

That said, When driving, do the regular things you would normally do. Watch out for the idiots on the road. Dont go too fast into turns & corners. Dont make sudden fast manuvers at high speeds. Drive it like a regular car. Drive normally & watch the road & others & you will be fine. Anyone that has driven these cars for any length of time will tell you about something that happened when driving. Usually it is due to drivers error. Driving too fast for the road conditions, erattic manuvers, off camber turns, foot heavy in the gas pedal going around turns, the list is endless!!! Drive it like you would any other 50 year old car & you will be fine!!!! I just finished a 4500 mile trip the beginning of August with my 61 Tempest. Drove it to Ohio & back. It handeled fine!!! Drive it!!!!

BTW!!! Are you in Tucson Az??
