Re: Pontiac Widetrackers "Dustoff" show - June 11, 2022

I have not mentioned here much that I was a big Pontiac fan when I was younger.
I have a 67 Tempest 2 dr post coupe, I removed the 326 2 speed, and had a friend who built Pontiacs build me a 428, also have a t-400 in it and a 12 bolt 3.31 gears.
Had it running enough to realize I had a great combination mechanically, it seemed very strong. We rebuilt the front suspension, added front disc brakes, and detailed the front half of the frame. The front clip is in black primer, the rest of the body is original paint, kind of an aqua blue/green.
Unfortunately at the time I ran out of body and paint and interior money so I parked it in my shop, time went on and I kind of lost interest. 25 years later it is still there!
I have recently retired and have been thinking about getting it running again and putting it on the street. Seeing that old Tempest on the street is inspiring to me. Sometimes an Old car with freshened up mechanicals is kind of an attention getter, at least to me it is. Thanks
