I'm with you guys on this Pontiac thread! My first car was my dad's '68
Tempest with a 350. Loved that car. I earned it by putting a roof on the
house. Put all my spare time into it in high school. Quite the chick magnet!
I loved doing donuts in the parking lot in the rain. Never forget that car.
Still remember the plate on it....038XBP.

Subject: [Spridgets] Pontiac 327 Le Mans Tempest
This was the car we owned when we first got married - but with a 327.
Same body as the GOAT. . heavy body. . but too bad it was not the GTO.
My father in law bought it for my wife. Sold my Datsun pickup truck for
college funds . .
The car was simply unbreakable. . nothing ever went wrong with it. . even
with well over 100k on the odometer. It later went to my mother who put on
another 50k miles on the thing.
I bought a V6 Capri with a 5 speed stick (or 4 speed, I don't recall). We
spent the majority of our time in our 1960 Old English White MGA.
But the Pontiac will always hold a place in my heart. Wish we had never
gotten rid of it.
Of course, had it been the GTO. . I hope that I would have had the smarts
to have held on to it.
