This is a unique opportunity to own a one of kind Pontiac Tempest Custom with all the modern amenities to make it run and drive like a brand new vehicle. I oversaw this build and I am happy to answer questions. I have receipts for all of the parts I purchased and am confident this build could not be duplicated for under $100,000!
Serious inquiries only, absolutely no pressing need to sell this vehicle so please don’t waste time with low ball offers. The vehicle will be sold on a clean New York State transferrable registration in the current owners name (note that NYS does not issue titles for vehicles older than 1973). I am not a dealer but have bought and sold several collector cars at great distances and therefore I have gone to great lengths to describe this vehicle’s condition as accurately and completely as possible. I am happy to provide additional photos, videos or schedule an inspection for serious potential buyers. I will work with any legitimate shipping company to ensure a smooth transition at the buyers expense.
