With the "thanks" added, does that mean you are going to place a bid?

If not in the midst of building my 68 goat right now, yes I would make a serious attempt at owning that.

I'm very fond of the Tempest models, especially the 67's, I've past that link on to several friends.


Thanks again,
Frank

I would think it would be worth around $25,000. Thats a hell of a car! I like the car so much, I don't think I would change anything. Maybe put some stamped steel wheels on it, hubcaps, and some white stripe G70-14 or 15 tires for a sleeper look...you could burn em for 2 city blocks!

I have been watching it too. Not sure why as I don't have room for another car. LOL I love the color combo and the build seems to be very nice. I know you can't duplicate what is there for the current bid. But when it comes to modifying vehicles it is hard to judge the value. I would not make it into a GTO. I think it is more "unique" as a Tempest. However I think it would look great with either body colored steel wheels and dog dish caps or black colored steel wheels and caps. Also would put a stock steering wheel in the car, remove Royal sticker and Judge stripes, possibly relocate head end unit to glovebox and install a "stock" non functional radio. I like the sleeper look and then when you hear it fire up or see it up closer you realize it "ain't your grandma's Tempest"!

It is the same car you saw at Norwalk. Any idea what it ran? Somebody needs to buy this car so I quit looking at it! LOL I have no room for another car but that has not stopped me before. I already have a similar type car (78 Formula that looks stock on the outside but is built to run). However this Tempest is so nice I just can't seem to get it off my mind.
