I have here a 1965 Pontiac Tempest Custom Convertible. It was originally white but was repainted red a few years ago. New tires, it runs but needs a new battery and muffler. This car belonged tp Bill York who worked at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for nearly 50 years. He drove the car to the speedway when he bought it new in March of 1965. He was in charge of handling the Rookie of the Year Trophy then and presented it in 1965 to Mario Andretti. He drove this car to the race that day. I have all the paperwork on the car including the invoice and owner manual with protect-o-plate. There is some rust to the frame near the rear wheels (this is a midwest car) but it is not horrible. The car could be restored, cloned into a GTO or driven as is (after fixing the muffler and replacing the battery). Buyer is responsible for transportation or the can can be picked up in Western Ohio (45869).On Nov-05-12 at 19:36:23 PST, seller added the following information: Just wanted to add more detail to he description. Vehicle comes with all the documentation I have as well as a 1966 Indianapolis 500 Parking pass found in the glovebox. There is a keychain and license plate frame from the original dealer as well as the 1965 Indiana plates that were on the car when new. I started to do restoration work on he interior - the back seats and carpet are removed. The back seat covers are in great condition but the front seats will eventually need recovered. oor panels are rough as is carpet and the convertible top needs replaced. Original AM radio is included (works). Car is 95% original and ll the parts are there. It is being sold as is and is a great car to invest some time and money into. Thanks for looking!On Nov-09-12 at 13:22:43 PST, seller added the following information: After many requests I added some photos - hope they help. Engine is clean, rear seats removed to show solid floor pan and trunk compartment has surface rust and one patch panel (old). The body is solid and a good candidate for restoration. I hate to sell this car but we could use the money right now. Please email with any other questions - I will also give you my phone number if you would like to discuss the car. The reserve is met and it will sell to the highest bidder. Thanks again for looking and good luck!
