For Sale: 1970 Pontiac Tempest in Concord, North Carolina

This 1970 Pontiac Tempest T-37 gives you the classic hardtop profile you love, and it adds in some nice upgrades and numbers-matching V8 power.

Pontiacs of this era have something special about them. The GTOs that were based off this design are cars of legend today. And while we cherished the Endura front end of those back then, the chrome of this Tempest seems to make a bolder statement today. It's like a shiny beak of a bird that's ready to take flight. It matches nicely with the other bright elements, like the polished dual exhaust tips and the rear bumper that fits nicely into this intricate design. Plus, the wheels keep the classic Pontiac Rally II style, but they are modern alloys in a large size to accommodate performance tires. It's all set against a polished black finish with tinted windows for even more blackout appeal. The paint also does a nice job of letting the sunlight highlight the good sheetmetal and fastback style that made these Pontiacs such an ideal car of its era.

Inside, this Tempest is built for comfort and retains a classic style. That's why you have two wide rows of bench seats to give plenty of people room to spread out in comfort. The upholstery has a cool upgrade with the two-tone style and a hint of tuck and roll. Plus, the door panels were done to match to make sure this has a uniform presentation. The steering wheel and dash layout have the vintage look and feel of original. Even the AM radio is still on display. So it makes for a good classic cruiser. And the added auxiliary gauge trio keep you better informed while you're on the road.

When you lift the hood, you immediately recognize the blue block of the Pontiac 350 cubic-inch V8 radiating out of the dark black engine bay. This is the numbers matching motor, but it does have some newer components, including a four-barrel carburetor on top for added pep. And the dual exhaust exhales with a sweet classic car note. The three-speed automatic transmission and power steering make the drive easy. Plus, the modern ZR-rated performance tires, power brakes with new booster, and front discs give you a confident feeling on the road.

V8 power and extra chrome let this Pontiac reminds you why we love a good Tempest from this era. So it's a cool classic at a great price. That's why we know it won't stay here long. Call now!
