Hello from Vancouver/Tri-Cities 1966 Tempest
Permalink  

Greetings!  New to the forum tho I've been lurking for a couple of years.

Just brought up from Sacramento, California a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Custom convertible that I bought from a buddy there.

Colour is Marina Turquoise, gold interior/white top, 326 V-8, 2-speed automatic, power top/windows/front seat/steering and non-power brakes (well, you can't have everything).  Currently needs a little maintenance (rad and windows) but is ready to cruise this summer.

(If anyone needs to know how to import a vintage car from the US, I just did it.  Ask me!)

Photos below.

Cheers,
Bill

Welcome indeed. Looks like a great car. Too many Tempests have been sacrificed in the GTO quest. Glad to see one in such fine condition. smile

Thanks for the welcomes!

This one will not be sacrificed to the GTO clones, not if I have anything to do with it.  The previous owner had a personalised license plate that read "IMNO GTO".

Cheers,
Bill
