For Sale: 1965 Pontiac Tempest in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

This 1965 Pontiac Tempest Custom showcases pure muscle car DNA. The Montero Red paint wraps a sleek two-door coupe body, its hardtop profile accentuated by stacked headlights and distinctive full-length trim. While it shares styling cues with its GTO cousin, unique details like the Tempest-specific grille set it apart. With 15-inch wheels and 215/65R15 tires, this Pontiac exudes a powerful stance demanding street respect.

Red vinyl covers the split-bench seats, creating a bold interior that matches the exterior's intensity. A Hurst shifter anchors the cabin, inviting you to row through the gears. The dash houses clear, easy-to-read gauges, complemented by secondary oil pressure, voltage, and temperature readouts. Modern conveniences blend seamlessly with classic style - a Retro Sound AM/FM/AUX stereo provides the soundtrack without compromising the vintage aesthetic: the taut headliner and well-maintained carpets round out the cabin's refined look.

The 326 cubic inch V8 engine sits ready for action, fed by a single 4-barrel carburetor. This powerplant pairs with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, giving you total control over the V8's output. Power steering enhances maneuverability, while drum brakes at all four corners offer reliable stopping power. The dual exhaust system, featuring Vortex Classic mufflers, produces an authoritative growl. Underneath, control arms with coil springs and shocks up front work in concert with a coil spring, shock, and sway bar setup in the rear, keeping this Tempest planted through every curve.
