I was driving past where they are tearing down the old Parodi factory in Scranton. They uncovered a vintage name on the building underneath the facade. I couldn't resist snapping a pic.

Here are some pictures of the tempest I got.
It's a 61 4-door 4 cyl 3 speed with air.
And only 67000 miles.

That's an former Pickett car! Nice

[TempestFugit]

That's a great looking car!

[blueghoast]

That's one of the coolest cars I've seen and a good reason I
did my 62-tempest rather then the 63 that I had.
Looks like he's running a 9-inch slick too.
That's what I run on mine and I had to stretch the wheel
well 2 inch's just to get a 9-inch tire in there. Dam cool car.

Thanks. It runs OK. Good driver. Might be calling butler performance over the winter so it will run with the vette.

I'd like to get it down slightly in the front where is sits flat like yours. Also need to get the bumpers chromed. Its getting there though.

Yours looks awesome. Love the Red/White Combo.

63 Lemans convt currently as it was when I bought it she has a 350/350 in it atm. Converted over to early S10 small pad fdb, 10 bolt Olds 3.42 rear end w/ leaf springs.

Done interior work this spring w 68 GTO seats & 67 his/ hers shifter w console. Installed 6x9 in kick panels, new carpet, & adied a cut down rear seat from a 62 GP that has the rear speaker grill and arm rest. Added Fatmat under carpet. Still have new wood steering wheel to install and wood grain to console. I had a spare dash painted satin black with thoughts of adding 65 GTO rallye guages w/ white faces. (So racist). Had the rear arm rests recovered. Still needs stereo.

Need some odds ends electrical work done (Rev lights, interior courtesy lights, horn, etc). Installed new H4 hi beams and new LED low beams. So bright. Had the header panel btwn radiator support & nose cone powder coated. Mine was torn where the hood latch goes thru & hood would work it's way up while driving. Ordered new black vinyl top but w/ a glass rear window.

Future...... power windows (factory correct from 63 Buick special, power antenna from 64 Olds F85, true poncho motor & A/C (I have 63 under dash controls, duct work).

New guy here. My name is Mike and I am from Goodyear, Az. I bought myself my mid-life crisis a few months ago and am having fun tearing it apart and getting it back together.

So far I have got the engine running, fixed the brakes (powder coated the wheels for fun), and found out that my gas tank has about 8 extra holes.

I have a 63 Lemans vert w/ a 326. It has factory power steering and the dash mounted shifter.

It looks like it was repainted at one point in it's life but the last time it was registered was in 1991. I am fighting years of neglect and rust.

Hello, My name Is Mike. A few months ago I picked up my first classic car. I am told that this is my mid-life crisis, but who knows.

I have a 63 lemans w/ the 326, power steering, dash mounted shifter for the 2 speed auto transmission.

I think the car was repainted but it has not been registered since 1991, so I am fighting years of neglect and some rust. So far I have got the engine to start, fixed the brakes(powder coated the wheels), and found about 8 extra holes in the gas tank.
