Buddy of mine when in high school got a 66 Tempest 326, 2spd power glide for 300 bucks. It was sitting in weeds higher than the car. Car was solid aside from usual stuff. Did the body work and sent it to be painted. Then we stuck on an Eddy and some tubes. Car ran pretty good. Sold it for a mint (stupid) and has never owned a car that sweet since then (1992).. He still kicks himself over it lol. Good luck bud..

Its going to be hell, I know it will. My dad had one back when he was in high school so its gonna be a father son project, just so we can say we did something really cool together. Its more something for us to spend time doing together than anything, just glad its a GTO lol

My dad and I did the same in 1988 or so when I found my first '66 GTO.

We went out there Saturday only to discover the car is a tempest, not a true GTO like I was told. I might buy it from him for $300 bucks and haul it out of there and restore it anyways. But its just not the same

You said on the first page, "it's def. a tri-power 389".......

if so, I don't see the problem - a tri-power 389 Tempest would still be pretty fun!

Don't worry about it.....Clone it or restore it as is.

[tallnick]

clones are still cool too.. just wont make as much money..

You can turn a tempest le-mans into a gto. Post up some pics my old man still has the tri-power carb setup from his 65-sigh.

When I get in from school tonight I'll see if he has sent me the photos over email of it. I'm going out that way again on Wednesday with cash in my hand and I'll see if he will take it for the car. Then I'll pull it out and bring it on home for some resto work. Believe it or not the motor in the car is from a GTO my dad used to drive that had to be rebuilt because he messed it up. Thats what he told my dad and I anyways. My dad had a big ole grin on his face like hell yeah haha since these guys were car nuts together when they were younger. Good times good times.
