Elementary and exceptional! I love this car's presentation: beautiful red on red, old school muscle car with a stunning restoration! This is taking John DeLorean's idea of a muscle car even one notch higher. A 400 with a 4-speed in a lightweight, budget friendly post sedan Tempest. She is basic and she is beautiful!

EXTERIOR: Polished like a piece of red glass! The fit and finish of this Tempest are well above average. The panels are precisely aligned, square and flush with very consistent gaps that are spot on. The doors close easily with minimal effort. Looking down the side of the body it is straight as an arrow with smooth contours and crisp lines. The glass is nice and clear with fresh rubber seals. The bumpers are both very shiny with refinished chrome. The trim is straight with a lustrous finish. The front grille, headlights, and bezels are spotless. The taillights and bezels appear to be reconditioned originals. The polished splitter exhaust tips add a little touch of attitude. It's all rolling on a set of 14" body colored steel rims with poverty caps and they are wrapped in BFGoodrich radial "redline" tires which provides optimal ride quality and classic styling combined.

INTERIOR: I really like this interior better than the Lemans or GTO! The red striped cloth with vinyl trim and the white arrowhead logos are really sharp. It's all been refinished and looks fantastic. Down low is fresh looking, properly fitting red carpet, reproduction floor mats and optional deluxe seatbelts in the front. Up top is a fresh looking white vinyl headliner. My favorite feature is the Hurst 4-speed sticking out of the floor! In front of you is a clean original dash area. It's a radio delete which any self respecting gear head does not need. It does have a tachometer so you can watch your revs and the sound of the exhaust is your music! A walnut steering wheel has been added with a nice thick grip.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: That's a 400 cubic inch motor with a performance build. On top is an Edelbrock aluminum intake and carburetor setup. It also has a set of ram air exhaust manifolds, stock pie pan air cleaner, painted valve covers, power steering, and the alternator looks new too. The battery is properly secured and the horn is hooked up. The radiator and clutch fan look fresh as well. The hoses and belts have all been replaced. Under the hood is complete with insulation. The fender wells and firewall are both neatly painted satin black and the original cowl tag is still in place. The simplicity of this engine bay is a thing of beauty!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Clean and complete! The underside of the lid, jamb, and inside the trunk are all neatly painted Grenadier Red just like the body. The weatherstrip was replaced and it also has a full-size spare tire with matching steel rim, jack assembly, lug wrench, and trunk mat.

UNDERSIDE: It is exceptionally clean underneath this car as well. The front-end steering and suspension looks fresh. Out back the shocks have been replaced and it has a new fuel system including the tank. Real nice sounding dual exhaust with stainless steel Flowmaster mufflers and the optional splitter tips. The brakes have been serviced and the e-brake assembly is hooked up. Looking up at the engine it is spotless and has a high torque starter. Handsome M-20 close ratio Muncie 4 speed manual transmission. This car is as smooth as a chalkboard. I don't see any rust or signs of patching. The floors and chassis components are all smooth, painted a satin black.

With its high-quality fit and finish, this car is exactly how it presents itself, an honest no frills build that was done the right way! And that's what I love about this Tempest, it's simple yet sensational at the same time!
