Vehicle Description
1970 Pontiac Tempest 2-Door Hardtop - 350ci V8 - Clean Vintage
Coupe - Clean Interior and Exterior - Cragar Wheels - (Please note:

coupe for your consideration. These early 70's sport coupes
featured coke-bottle styling which is very similar to the popular
Malibu/Chevelle, with a little edgier styling in the area of the
fenders. A close look at a 70 Chevelle and this Tempest makes it
very obvious that they were from the same family. This Tempest is
most definitely the brother of the GOAT, but a close cousin of the
Chevelle. Chrome bumpers front and rear, round headlights,
rectangular tail lights mounted in the bumper, and a postless side
profile gave both the Malibu/Chevelle and the Tempest sporty looks.
This is a handsome car whose exterior has been repainted, and the
interior retrimmed for an awesome final package. This Tempest left
the Pontiac Michigan factory painted Granada Gold (code 58), which
seems like a bit of a subdued color for a sport coupe to us. We
think the fire engine red suits the car a little better. GM Rallye
II wheels have been replaced by the ever popular, and good looking
Cragar 5 spoke chrome wheels which seem to be more of a focal point
on the car thanks to contrasting bright red paint, and chrome
bumpers capping either end of the car. All trim and lights/lenses
show very well all around the car. Speaking of contrast, a tan
vinyl interior looks great paired with the red exterior. The
interior features a bench seat, three spoke steering wheel,
auxiliary gauges, and a Sun tachometer. A Pioneer CD/XM stereo has
been added to the interior although the original AM radio is still
found in the dashboard. Under the hood is a 350ci V8 mated to a
TH350 transmission. The engine bay is tidy and includes the 350ci
chrome air cleaner, Pontiac blue painted valve covers and engine
block. This handsome GM coupe is a car to consider for someone who
wants a muscle car that is a little more unique than what you may
usually see at a car show or cars and coffee. This car has a
presence wherever it goes! Be sure to check out all the photos and
