1966 Pontiac Tempest - all GTO Drivetrain and Body Parts

1966 PONTIAC TEMPEST Sprint 6 4-Speed

Never Painted - Nothing Hidden by Bodywork or Primer - Less than 25,000 miles showing on odometer - car passed Mo state safety inspection with just a few of the original factory installed parts replaced

a 1967 GTO 400 WT engine built to 67 RA I spec, 670 Heads, Edelbrock Torker, 750 Double Pumper, Hooker Headers, 4 Speed Muncie Transmission with 3.55 Positraction Rear Axle

This is a 1966 Tempest Custom low mileage survivor - car still had all of its original T-3 Headlights, painted amber bulbs, and original brakes on it - indicated mileage is 24,500 and that could very well be the actual mileage. Car has never been repainted, has a pretty sound body and has all original sheetmetal and interior

It has a 1967 GTO drivetrain with a January of 1967 date code WT manual transmission GTO 400 with 670 heads and the Ram Air I cam, Muncie 4 Speed and 3.55 posi. Car was originally an OHC 6 4 speed car. The car runs extremely strong and has a very solid suspension. This car passed Missouri State inspection with all of its original suspension parts aside from a new idler arm, one new ball joint, new shocks and brakes and of course tires. That's it. Aside from that it is running all of its 51 year old parts and they are in spec!

Naturally passing state licensing inspection requires all lights, blinkers, wipers, horn etc. to be working as well as all suspension components to be tight and in spec, full unleaking exhaust, good tires, glass, no leaking fluids, good brakes and more.

We replaced the original 1966 brakes and shocks, and couple of the original T-3 headlights and obtained standard non historic vehicle plates on it. It also has new coil springs and some new bushings, but they were upgrades to heavy duty spec and not required

The body is very solid over most of it with the typical rust found in the problem areas. We have repair panels for most of these areas. This car could be driven the way it is or restored. It is a perfect candidate for one of the "clear over patina" finishes that are in fashion these days of you are into that sort of thing.

We have all of the GTO parts to go with this car - Factory GM Hood, Grilles, Turn Signals, Emblems, Grab Bar, Interior Emblems and of course it has the 1967 GTO 400 and stick already in it - it would be an easy body restore and conversion to GTO trim

In addition to the GTO parts and maintenance parts there has been many thousands spent on performance parts and restoration items

The total cost to date is well over the sale price offered here - the way this car runs and handles, and with all of the expensive GTO parts already sourced I am firm on the price - I have seen cloth bench seat, column shift, 307 Powerglide Chevelles sell for as much in worse shape!! I have seen people trying to sell similar cars all disassembled and in boxes of who knows what parts for almost as much. This car has never been apart aside from the engine swap and all of its original fasteners are still in place. All of the bolts we have removed to change parts have come loose easily and went back together - nothing seized or snapped - all in all very hard to find these days - we had a hard time finding cars this clean and original 30 years ago

Important Point - Most cars like this have gone through dozens of high school graduating classes and have been wrecked, painted and repainted numerous times over shoddy bodywork and in the hands of novice mechanics and abusive drivers - not this one - it was just tucked away after the original owners family played with it a little bit - we found the insurance card of the 70 year old man that sold it in the glove box further proving the claims of the people we got it from

This car starts easily cold, idles, has instant throttle response, gains RPM quickly and pulls through all 4 gears hard, has tons of power that can keep the wheels spinning through 3rd gear at 80 MPH if you want, shifts perfectly, handles great for this type of car thanks to the sway bars, new springs and shocks, and drives straight, brakes straight and is very pleasant to drive - I have included videos of these facts including demonstrating acceleration in each gear only lasts about 2 seconds.....

No matter what this sale is a give away - you could not build this car for what I am asking even if someone gave you a clean Tempest to start with for free!

The car is a turn key running, driving, inspected, licensed vehicle. The interior smells like an old Pontiac, not some nasty "barn find" or field car - no dirt, rodent, over rich exhaust or mildew smells at all

Original carpet was removed - floors are in good shape with minor degradation - an easy save in my book. Same with quarters and fenders. Inner quarter drops are there and savable same with trunk floor - wheel houses are fine. I wouldn't replace any of it - if you are moderate or better on bodywork you should be in agreement. The lower windshield channel needs replacing and we have that part. Lower fenders need patching and we have the drivers side piece. Quarters can be patched too. Doors hang perfectly square with zero hinge sag. Front end sheetmetal lines up perfect. Sides are straight aside from one scrape on passengers side from a garage at some point - it is easily fixable.

Nothing is being hidden by bodywork or primer -

All body lines are original and untouched, Bumpers are decent and spare rear bumper and deck lids are included. All of the GTO conversion parts listed above are included. The interior is original and not destroyed, but it is worn and most would be getting replaced, but it is not bad for 51 year old original stuff and as I have said it is usable the way it sits for a budget driver project

Use the pictures as reference on these comments and also get with me on the phone if you need further info - I have included many including under car shots and video demonstration to prove mechanical soundness and capability. Naturally you will have your own opinion on what it may need and that could be any where from a full restoration to just a few upgrades OR you could just drive it the way it is! We have been doing just that, enjoying the heck out of it, and that is from a guy that has several other near perfect muscle cars including GTOs - This one is plenty fun for what it is and especially for the price

Too much to go into here - List of brand new and newer parts is about 70 items long - cash only firm buyer please no lookers - Please know what you buying here - buyer should have an understanding of these cars and know what is up - I really don't have the time it will require to finish it so I can't spend that much time just showing the car and explaining everything so please understand this before you reply - cars this untouched and unabused just don't come along any more so that is a very strong point in my opinion

Thanks - it truly is a great car - Please reply with a phone number for a response on specific details that would require a lengthy typed explanation
