Default 61 tempest with a Buick 215 V8

This is the car that was for sale in New Mexico & now is in Mesa Arizona. A member here wanted me to go look at it for him. Issues have come up & he has had to pass on the car. He requested I put the info up here in case someone else is interested. So, here it is,,,,,



Saw the car today!!!. Current tag & plate in az, runs & drives, owner said he put new brakes on it, Looks to be all original & unrestored. Needs seats covered, carpet is faded. Rust on bottom of left front fender & top of same fender above headlight. Dent in left rear 1/4 above tire. floors & undercarraige look good. roof good, headliner in very good shape. He put an alternator on it, still has the generator. Basically an original car in need of a lot of TLC. Will need 4 tires. has all 4 hub caps, driver quality.

Talked with him for a bit, Says he is getting a judge GTO from a brother of a friend & cant have both cars so the Tempest has to go.

Hope this link is good, should be 51 pictures. Let me know if ya have any questions. All pictures are at this link. Number where owner can be reached is 480-233-3258

The seller just told me 10 minutes ago via email that it needs brakes. He has front shoes and bearings, but they aren't on the car.

My take on him is he's over his head with this car and he knows it.

Maybe I misunderstood him?? Thought he said he put brakes on it. Master cyl looks original & undisturbed. Agree on 2nd.
