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.
This 1965 Pontiac Tempest Custom delivers raw muscle car attitude
with its potent 326 V8, manual transmission, and aggressive
styling. Blending GTO-inspired looks with a unique Tempest
character, it's primed for street cruising and show fields. Call
