Is it bad that there is a part of me that likes that thing?

^^ I think I said something similar when it was posted before. I'd just get rid of the big black rocker covers and different wheels/tires.

Check out the front bench. When I was a kid, my grandmother, who was Italian. encased everything upholstered in the house and car with a thick plastic custom made covering, Even vinyl cushions got the treatment. Sometimes the plastic cover was clear, other times it had a pattern.

Yes I remember that terrible stuff as a kid- it was torture in the summer when it got hot and branded waffle pattern burns into your bare legs if you had shorts on. OUCH!

If that car is anywhere near what it looks like, $2500 is a steal for that car!

Would be a blast to buy that car and go through it, and drive it to work every day.

I sure hope someone buys it for what it is, and not as a parts donor.

It was an east coast 60's thing maybe.... as a kid in north Jersey mid 60's I remember a few of those. Your aunt or friends aunt had that stuff.... so when dear auntie passed on, her long out of style floral Sears sofa was perfect. Day One Survivor Status.

Only a couple of hours from me ... very tempting.

Wonder if they are going to sell the older Tempest next to it.

Is that actually an original 67, uncracked dash pad?

It sure looks like it. I noticed that and the paint and quickly surmised that that car is very likely a high grade survivor, probably as close as you'll ever come to finding a genuine "little old lady only drove to church on Sunday" car. Shame it's only a Tempest four door, but if it's really in that nice original condition I'd still drive it. Of course, the fact that it's a Tempest four door is almost certainly what saved it from ending up in the wrong hands to get ruined.

Pretty well equipped for a tempest, 1 bbl OHC-6 with Power brakes & Steering, & automatic, if it drives that is a great car for the price

When my father-in-law was in high school, he had an after school job at an auto upholstery shop, and he once told me MOST of their business was in making custom clear plastic covers for new cars. This was in the '50s, Detroit area.

For a New Hampshire car that Tempest looks to be in great shape. Too bad there's no pictures of inside the trunk and lower sides of the body. Even tho it's a 4 door post car I'd buy it.

I've been thru that neck of the woods many times years ago. Stayed in White River Jct every time I traveled thru there with the 'ol Anchor rig, and delivered in that area too. That's why the comment of the car looking so good even tho I know how the winters are up there. And nasty is one word that often comes to mind.
