Vehicle Detail

1961 Pontiac Tempest DeLorean Design - 1961 Motor Trend Car of the Year - Time Capsule The pictures tell the story Click here to see several photos of this beautiful Little Indian No surprise that, of all the Tempests you see on the market nowadays, almost none of them are the first-generation compacts. "Space Age" inspired, designed by John DeLorean, built in the Pontiac Michigan plant and still wearing most her original Coronado Red paint, this remarkable “Little Indian.” has only 39,750 original miles! "Tempest Torque" automatic transmission with controls on the dash, 195, slant mounted straight-four (half of a 389 V8). The Tempest introduced many new features like the flexible drive shaft and the relocation of the transmission to the read axle. "Unquestionably a prototype for the American car of the Sixties" says Motor Trend Magazine. The car was purchased at an estate sale from the original owners. Everything works flawlessly, new brakes lines, precious few nicks and scratches. She’s a beautiful road-worthy ride and always draws a hoard of admiring fans. Quite certainly one of the best examples left in existence today. For more information call (515) 864-1275 or email overton@aol.com. Click here to check out the VIDEO
