Those later A bodies do nothing for me. I did see the recent mint condition convertible with the hood tach, etc., and that was OK. But the 66/67 just seems more lean and trim.

Wow, that is the same interior (exept mine was Dark Green) that my 1st Sprint had!!!! Mine was a 69 Sprint Tempest 2-door Sedan with a 4-speed. It was the car that got me hooked on these crazy things. I have only seen a couple base model 69 Tempest interiors. I do miss that car, dam Michigan Winters!!!!!

Found one right here in my own backyard. Dammit. And I'm searching the corners of my house for some cash, but I'm not sure that I can do it. 23317 Sprint.

This car is completely original in every component, but the original paint was clearcoated, back when no one used that term. He had advertised the mileage at 78,000 KM. But it's well known that if the car had miles, that means miles. Not in this case. Being a good Canuck, he converted them.

That's right, this car has 46,000 miles. Check out the steering wheel and dashpad. But what really does it for me is the chrome trim running the length of the car. Bench seat with the column shift? Not my first choice. Same with the goldy brown interior. It does come with original very funky wheel covers. The owner installed the sharp looking rallye II's, when they became available.

Thumbs up ODDITY

There was a time when I thought Code Y Candlelite Cream was just plain FUGLY.
But as time goes on it's one of those colors seldom seen anymore and with so many over restored cars that are incorrectly re-colored with none OE colors (RED) it's refreshing to see one in its factory scheme. I was looking at this 4Dr but the extra doors just didn't do it for me, the color I could live with. The Medium Fawn Interior is another color that makes this combo work for me. Sorry but the Rally IIs must go not correct and I just don't think they add to this car.

IMO Rally Is would make this car, they even help the 4DR look sporty, If that's possible .

Were the wheel disc the Custom? They too are very seldom seen.

Would love to see this car in a outdoor full shot

Also noting the side body molding looks to me like some took some creative freedom with painting the center section Red? I've only see it in black.

Overall that appears to be a great looking Cammer!


BUY IT!

Yes, those are the hub caps, alright. I would like to get the PHS on the car. Hopefully I can get the VIN number, as I didn't have a lot of time to look at the car. A 233 car in the hardtop seems rare to me, as well as being a simple Tempest with the carpet and rear arm rests and custom steering wheel. Either optioned out or they just went ahead and built it like that? He wants a solid five digit price for the car. We'll see.

I forgot to mention that the camera flash makes the paint in the moulding look red. It's actually black.

Looks to be a 67 from what little I can see in the pic's, seller almost knows what he is talking about V-6? 260HP?, But it does have the good early Clifford Headers, and the not so great in my opinion Clifford Aluminum intake.
