Considering picking up a 1962 Pontiac Tempest for sale near me, thoughts?

YES!!! It is pretty much Pontiac version of the corvair.
>>16703955
Except for the fact that the engine is in the front but the trans stayed in the back. And it isn't a complete deathtrap.
>4 door
ewwwww

>Implying the design isnt based off a corvair
>Believing Naders bullshit
Cool car but that 4 banger is unbalanced crap.
>>16703999
>Body style elitism
Off yourself
>>16703944
Not a Pontiac expert. A lot of that car was unique. Five-digit odometer, so no telling if it has rolled over already.

Yes but unique unbalanced crap. The giant motor mounts and the "Rope-Drive" system help dampen it quite a bit.

Nader's a fuck with his head up his ass but he wasn't entirely wrong. The tail happy nature of swing arm IRS was long understood and why most British sports cars were such poor handling piles of shit.
>low miles
>presumed clean title
>works
>no rust
>2 grand
why isn't this post about how you bought it already and are having the time of your life working on it and cleaning it up?
