1963 PONTIAC TEMPEST RESTO-MOD CHECK OUT THE WALK-AROUND VIDEO!
I acquired this 1963 Pontiac Tempest in April 2024. The gentleman I bought the car from started with a "shell" from a Pontiac racer in Grand Terrace, CA then commissioned a build by Innovative Rod & Custom in Elko New Market, MN.
The Pontiac engine was built by Total Engine Services of Bloomington, MN. The block is a 400 stroked to 461ci that produces 560 hp and 590 pound-feet of torque.
The car's exterior was sandblasted to bare metal then painted in the original '63 Cameo Ivory with a Nocturne Blue roof.
The interior is fitted with TMI front bucket seats upholstered in blue leather.
The AM radio was refurbished and modified with FM, Bluetooth and Auxiliary Connectivity by S&M Electro Tech of Blaine, MN.

Edelbrock cylinder heads and intake manifold
Holley carburetor, fuel filters, and fuel pump
MSD digital ignition box
Aluminum radiator with dual electric fans
March Billet Underdrive Pulleys

The undercarriage is leak-free and is as immaculate as the rest of the vehicle.
The car was delivered to me equipped with a staggered 18” front / 19” rear tire & wheel set-up. I retrofitted it back to the original 15” black “steelies” w/ dog-dish “poverty” hubcaps.
This car is offered with a clean Kansas Title.
