1963 Pontiac Tempest Wagon was being built by a good friend of mine for NHRA Super Gas competition. Three years ago after his mother passed away, he found himself in drastic tax trouble with his mothers estate. I purchased this car and all parts shown to help him out. My thought was to finish this car but time and other things are going to keep me from it.
This car has been professionally built and nothing but the best in parts bought.
Over ,000 was spent on the Car plus over ,000 on the Engine.
The list is long, but well worth the read.
The 63 Tempest body is in very nice , straight, solid shape still with her original red paint intact. My friend bought two Fiberglass front ends because he didn’t know which was better (The VFN is the better). The original front fenders,hood, grill surround and lower valance are there also. Two fiberglass hoods both VFN (one with factory edges one completely flat) complete the 3 front ends that go with the car. There is also an extra new in bubble-rap fiberglass front bumper and a new fiberglass rear bumper (2 small cracks)
The Chassis is a Alston Chassisworks custom designed for this 113.5” wheel base and will certify to 7.50 specs. Chromoly 14 point TIG welded cage on the 2”x 4” mild steel frame.

To go inside the ProFab 9” housing is a brand new Mark Williams Aluminum center section with a 40 spline steel spool and Richmond Pro Gears 4:57 ratio. Mark Williams 40 spline Rifle-Drilled Super-Lite axles with studs and lug nuts.
A lot of the interior aluminum work is done (4 door panels plus the rear hatch panel) some is partially completed ( firewall, transmission tunnel, 2 driveshaft tunnels) plus a lot of miscellaneous panels and parts for finishing the interior. My friend bought 3 sets of rear wheel tubs. Fiberglass, Aluminum and Steel. All 3 are new. The aluminum and steel are still new in their boxes. Car has 2 battery boxes, a single battery and another for dual batteries.
A custom weight bar (empty)is installed on the left rear (opposite side of battery).
