Thumbs up The real deal

I went and looked at this one last night. Very solid and all there. Needs interior and top. The body is practically rust free. Small amount of bubbling on driver side rocker. I have more info but I should get to work, This is a true 62 vert with a 215 4 bbl. PM me your number if you are interested and want more info. If I was not facing a total knee replacement, this would be in my garage today.

How many V8 Lemans tempest convertibles do you think were built in 1962? I haven't seen many. This one seems like it is good condition for a decent price. FastEddy, Thanks for sharing.

Solid 63 prepped for solid axle rear. Some chosen parts are junk, but much work has been done.

Hey, it's not a pontiac, but i'm sure it can be cannibalized for parts. Was thinking about buying it as a parts car before my uncle and dad both talked me out of it.

63 195 auto vert basket case might be worth 3k-ish to someone in AZ

http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/4176510303.html

Another in CA. Little pricey, unless there are some good parts going with it. It's the right color too.

63 Lemans 195 auto. Some dents, but looks to be a rust free AZ car. 3200 is a little strong for it, but --

Usually my type of car. A desert rat!

It has funky mirrors but could turn out to be a good buy. Looks all there and pretty straight.
Too bad it's not a 326 car. Here is the guy's number in case the ad expires: 435-770-3337

Might be worth talking to the guy just to see if it's a Cali thing or whatnot. If I were a 62 vert guy I'd own it.

Just talked with the guy. Air filter doesnt have the side mount bracket with bolts to hold the cover. I am thinking its from another GM product. Maybe Buick or Olds?? The extra breather part on the air filter has a grommet into the top of the housing & mounts to the top of the oil fill cap. Am assuming its a crankcase breather of some sort. He is sending me some more pictures. Car's vin # is 162P80218. So, Pontiac Mi. car in California. Said it had been sitting for 25 years. Runs, drives, shifts fine. Power steering car.

Well here they are. Very small & grainey. Cant blow them up much. PCV is coming off of the center of the valve cover. Clean air vent is off of the oil fill cap. Interesting for sure. All parts according to the owner looks to be of factory production & fit perfectly.

That's cool, man. Thanks for following up. I've been too busy with parts buyers to get into "it" with him.

Default crankcase ventilation

Pontiac didn't start venting the crankcase pressure through the PCV valve from the valve covers until the late 60's, if I recall correctly. '61 tempest 4 cylinder engines still used a draft tube. In '63 the PCV was placed in the pushrod cover. I think '62 models did, also. Haven't ever run across a set up like this '62 convertible has. It was either a very early attempt at replacing the old draft tube, a "California emission" only set up, or a previous owner modification. Couldn't find any mention of a valve cover PCV valve in the Chassis manual. The valve cover doesn't look correct, either.
