Here's the White Warrior in action again while we're on the subject. Ernie Kepler has it running low 10's with a pump gas street motor and T400.

Great Pics, thanks Pontiaclady, Hooter et.al.
Not that long ago you were lucky to see three maybe five First Genners at an event like this and that was total, show cars to racers. Half the people back then didn't know what they were and the other half either loved or hated them. It's nice to see them standing tall with the best of them now Next year should be THE year for Tempests at Norwalk. (Note to self: DO NOT FORGET CAMERA NEXT YEAR). We should start now to organize some extracurricular events like a Photo Shoot, a Parade or something to mark the event maybe send out some heads-up 'press releases' to the Car-Crazy Dennis Gage types to get it on their radar screens. |

RE: Norwalk '10 Tempests/Lemans
What I notice all the Tempest/Lemans at Norwalk were in the pit area. There was only 1 in the car show (black/red interior) that I recall...

Saw a red '62 wagon rolling through show area.
Speaking of wagons, anyone here going to buy the black one on ebay? Looks to be solid. |

One more for the list...
Saw this one in someone elses norwalk pic post.
Norwalk always seems to have a nice assortment of 61-63 Tempest & Lemans' I think this was Tony Defosters (sp) old 63' This was one of the first ones we ever saw way back at Maple Grove. This car was the fuse that lit my buddy to build his 63. Anyway thought I would add to the list.

I noticed all but a few were racing. Next year will be the 50th Anniversary of the Tempest and hope to see them all there on the track and on the show field!! I had mine in the swap area and my buddy Joe had his 62 GTO powered Tempest wagon in the swap area too. It was a great weekend!

To the Moderator*************8
Why not turn this into a sticky as the official pics or '61-63 Tempests/LeMans? My brother had a '63 w/326/3 speed. Went through 7 trans in about 2 years. He had traded in a '59 Bonneville w/tri-power. He took it off and tried to put it on the LeMans not knowing manifold bolt pattern had changed. He simply bought a new tri-power manifold and put it on the LeMans. Boy would that car run. And he RAN it and Ran it and Ran it. It was a fun car. I was 17 at the time.

62 Steet and Track Car
I have finally figured out why I have not been able to post and want to share some pictures of my 62. I bought the car in 2007. The car had a SBC in it when I got it.
I spent the next year redoing some bad chassis work. The car now has a Pontiac 400 with a TH350 feed a Ford 9 inch. The car has ladder bars, pan hard bar and coil overs. Other work includes undated electrical a Scarebird front disk conversion. We made it to the track last year for 6 runs and bested out with 12.50 in quarter. Not bad for a set of iron heads, stock crank and ingition. We are in process of repaint but here are some the body just after paint. More to come. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
